My little darling is not a baby anymore.

Fondant.

Cake decorating & I have a love-hate relationship.

Fruit Leather.

I have been wanting to make fruit leather for a while now.

Mason's birthday party is the perfect excuse for lots of experiments.

Flags & cake.

Ok, I was going to wait until Mason's birthday party to reveal my version of the Nod flags...but I hung them up yesterday & got so excited about them that I just can't wait!!

Flag banner.

I found this awesome nautical flag banner at  Land of Nod! Naturally, I fell in love before I noticed the price tag. $30 for a birthday party decoration is way more than what I would like to spend.

So, I came up with a plan...

Potato Stamping.

Yesterday I was in Hobby Lobby, 40% off coupon in hand, looking for fabric to make a banner for Mason's nautical themed birthday party. I realized I didn't have an idea for a tablecloth! The printed fabrics are a bit pricey(considering I only need the tablecloth to last one day) & nothing really caught my eye.

Birthday Party.

My excitement for Mason's first birthday party has been growing since he was about 4 months old. It is now less than 2 weeks away... I need to get busy!
