Wedding bells are ringing.

My best friend is getting married! Every girl dreams of this day and at one point in her life has spent hours upon hours going through bridal magazines dreaming of what her wedding day will be like.

{Tiffany and Me}

We spent the last weekend together in Los Angeles baking wedding cakes for some good friends of mine. This was just the time we needed to start working out some details of her wedding because we live nearly 900 miles apart.

The wedding is planned for this coming September, to be held at her mother's country lawn. There are so many fun things we can do with this location, I know it will be a challenge settling on the theme. Can't wait to start helping Tiffany plan the big day!

Extreme Makeovers, DIY Magazine

If you grabbed the recent DIY magazine you might have noticed my name featured in more than just one article. I was able to work with several extremely crafty bloggers, having them take old pieces of furniture and making them into something new. What fun it was being able to find all the furniture pieces used and seeing their transformation when they came back in the mail. Here are the pages from the article below.

Happy New Year!

Another year has snuck up on me and I realized I managed to write the least amount of blog post ever. It is a shame I haven't recorded the year the way I out to, so many things happened. Hopefully I will not be so absent this year. First off I need to make new goals for this year! I do know that many of last year's were met despite all my doubts that they were to far out there. Who would have ever thought I would actually leave my home town and move to Brooklyn?! Now what will this year's goals be? I'll get back to you on that. In the mean time...
