I stumbled on a blog that was suggesting that we could make our own canvas wall-hangings for much cheaper than the ones they sell at places like Pottery Barn, and I remembered that I had not shared the adorable wall hangings that we made for my niece’s nursery, yet. My mom did the hard part, […]

You’ve got to check out this cake that my sister, Kerali, made for her son, Owen’s fifth birthday! I did mention that insanity runs rampant in my family, right?But don’t worry, she had help…Owen was apparently the chief frosting mixer. It looks great from all angles! I especially love the idea of using the layers […]

May 1, 2008 by 8 Comments
So it’s time to wrap up the report on the Nancy Drew party. On Friday night, each girl put together their own “sleuthing kit.” I found little cosmetic bags at the Dollar Spot at Target. I had planned to iron on their initials as a monogram before hand, but didn’t have enough letter A’s for […]
