smores on a stick

Isn't this the cutest idea! I have to admit, I love smores but I always had such a hard time eating those monstrosities! This would be such a great way to have a smore but bite size! I love it! I found this at whimsical creations by Melanie.





Here are her directions:

Ingredients...
marshmallows
melting chocolate
graham crackers
sprinkles
lollipop sticks

Crush the graham crackers and add sprinkles.
Put a lollipop stick in each marshmallow.
Then dip them in chocolate and in graham crackers.
I put them on a cookie sheet and then place them in the fridge for the chocolate to set up.
I also made ones with just sprinkles....

sounds YUM to me!

Pina Colada Birthday Cake

Remember this post? I mentioned that I wanted to make my daughter a pina colada cake. Well I did it. I have to say that I am pretty proud of myself. It looks cute enough! Instead of cream of coconut I used coconut milk which made it really runny. I would really do as the recipe directs. I just couldn't find an cream of coconut anywhere! It was DIVINE! Definitely try it!!!

lemon cake with lemon filling and lemon frosting....

Remember this recipe? Well, I tried it! And it was so good! However, it was VERY tart. You have to love the tangyness of lemons to love this cake! Here is my attempt at decorating....it was for my birthday!

dresses

These are the cute dresses I made for my daughter. I semi followed some tutorials from Make it and love it. Go here for the re-purpose shirt dress, the skirt I know I found somewhere but I can't find the link. SOrry!

decisions, decisions.....

I have been contemplating putting up decorative molding along the bottom half of our living room wall...after seeing this picture from superwoman I'm going to plug along! Although I don't think I will go that high on the wall... I think I like the traditional chair rail height.

I also found this picture from impatiently praying for patience and I'm pretty sure this is exactly what I want to do.

Tiered terracotta planter/house number

I am in love with this cute idea!! I love how it brings greenery to the front porch but also your house number! We don't have a house number on our house so it makes it difficult for friends or family that have never been to our house. But, after I make this....we'll be set!
