No Trading Spaces for me!

All the way back in March, I think, ( I know.... I am REALLY behind on blogging....) I helped my friend, Jenni, re-d0 her boy's bathroom. We always love doing craft projects together so we decided to do our own version of "While you were out". Her husband was away for work for the weekend when the project began. We spend Friday night painting the first coat. Then Saturday we painted a second coat, cut the vinyl for the mirror, and made the shower curtain. Between all of that, fixing meals, and watching the two boys (Jenni's sister Layla helped with the boys quite a bit as well) we were exhausted! I remember as a teenager LOVING to watch Trading Spaces and thinking how cool it would be to be on the show. After our weekend, we both agreed we would NEVER want to do it! We had fun doing the bathroom but couldn't imagine handling any bigger of a room in such a short time! By the way, Jenni's husband was definitely surprised and seemed to loved it!

Bring out the Diva...

Sometime in April or May, I can't really remember when...I helped my friend make a cake for her daughter's birthday. Last year we did a Fancy Nancy cake for her youngest and this year it was a Diva cake for her oldest.

I had a lot of fun executing all the creative ideas she had for the cake. I have to say...a cake design like this could bring out the diva in any girl! Thanks Julie for letting me be a part of the birthday fun!
