Happy Birthday Marissa!


Yesterday was my daughter's 9th birthday! I keep saying that some day I am going to take one of those cake decorating classes at the local craft store, but up until this point, I haven't. However, it was my first attempt at a round cake. LOL I don't think it came out too bad! She got lots of loot and she's happy as a clam! We didn't have a huge party or anything, the neighbors came over and all the kids (all 6 of them) had a cupcake decorating binge. They had lots of fun, and they didn't even mind that we used leftover Halloween sprinkles! Hey, it kept them busy and out of my hair for 10 whole minutes! :)

Another Great Giveaway!

Once again, I have partnered with another fabulous Etsy talent to do a giveaway. This time it was onthedotcreations. If you are a lover of all things polka dotted, you definitely must check out her blog! She frequently has a giveaway, and is always highlighting random dotty stuff.

Anyway, the details....the giveaway runs from today through 9 AM on Saturday morning, so be sure to get your entry in! If you win, you get the ring and some random dotty paper products from my card shop.


Today is my baby's 9th birthday. We celebrated last Saturday, but I made him cupcakes to take to school today. Nothing special, just out of a box....but it's the thought that counts right? Anyway, I am going to go have lunch with him. :)

Rockin' Out

Today we celebrated our oldest son's 9th birthday. It's not really until Tuesday, but we had the party today since school starts soon. We got him an electric guitar. He's not put it down since he opened the box. I guess we did a good job picking it out! I'm in a sugar coma from the real buttercream icing that was on the cake. I never thought I'd say this, but I couldn't finish the whole piece! Sheesh! I must be slipping in my old age! Anyway, I'm not comatose enough to not be able to surf the net, so here are a few of my son's favorite guitar picks.


He's all about picking out his own picks, he's managed to acquire several from my hubby's stash. He really likes this sterling silver Les Paul Guitar Pick from AndrosCreations. Not only does he like it, but they offer personalized engraving. I'm not sure what he'd actually put on it, but that's another story for another day!


For all the "girly rock stars" out there, check out this resin Flying V guitar necklace from cherriesrockmysocks. In fact, I personally think you should just check out that whole shop. Kid tested and mother approved! I love her resin!


And last but not least, what better way to wish your aspiring rock star, or even an accomplished one a Happy Birthday than with this hand crafted birthday card from yours truly? It's in auntiescardshop.

Well, I'm going to try to tear him away from his guitar long enough to actually eat dinner and possibly go to a movie. Have a great weekend everyone!
