Heart Toppers
Ahh, so cute! I think all cupcakes look even more adorable when they have a fun little topper.
I designed these simple heart cupcake toppers for Valentines Day (coming up in a week!). You can download the template for FREE on my downloads page.

The girls came to Minnesota and we had a blast. We danced at the St. Paul Winter Carnival ice sculpture garden (I give props to the band who performed outside when it was below freezing!),
we laughed a lot, we had a silly photo shoot and we ate well. My favorite night was when we made homemade pizza and had chocolate mousse cake and Guinness-chocolate ice cream for dessert.
Of course I just had to make cake toppers, mustache props and I designed the custom beer labels for the beer-loving girls who both got engaged this year (click the image if you dare). The labels were a brilliant idea from Liz and Becky gets the prize for coming up with the titles. Cheers!
D7 reunion
During my freshman year at Drake I met six lovely ladies. We came from all over the place (Minnesota, Colorado, Alaska, Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois) and have remained friends throughout the years. The seven of us (also nicknamed D7) try to gather yearly to celebrate engagements, weddings, birthdays, or just because. This weekend we’ll be freezing our noses off in Minnesota, celebrating two engagements and the year we all turn 30. I cannot wait. Portraits by my sister.
painting
This was my life all last week as illustrated by my sister. One of my Christmas presents to my mom was painting a few rooms in her house. So far I repainted my old bedroom in high school (the aqua had to go as well as the multi-colored handprints in the closet), the extra bedroom, two hallways and eventually I’ll get to the living room. Phew. The color is a warm light beige from Benjamin Moore called “Latte” and looks great.
my bed
The talented Jacob Pritchard has a photo project called Pictures in Bed. Before I left New York he set up his camera in my Park Slope apartment and I took some shots over a few days. At that point my whole apartment was in boxes except for a few crafts and my computer (the essentials, of course).
send a ’stache
Yeah, my mustache obsession still continues. This felt mustache card is perfect to send for any occasion and now you can make your own! Check out the FREE PDF on my downloads page.
100 years old
On Sunday I attended the birthday of a 100 year old! My friend Kelsey and her family celebrated the occasion with personalized cupcakes to look like each family member, bingo and a fun quiz about their grandmother who was born in 1910. The party was complete with a photobooth I set up which Kelsey and her 5 nephews loved. Kelsey and her mom found the frames at thrift stores. Too cute. Update: Kelsey made an adorable video with all the pics!
