Makeup Mommy: Craft

Life is incredibly crazy right now, but that sure won't keep me from throwing a little Valentien's day party for my sweeties! ;)

This was Prestons 1st Valentiens day and he sure was happy. Can you believe that he will be a year old next month?

Oh, and it was also Lilly's doll "Hanna's" birthday.

So we light a candle and sang happy birthday. ;)

This year I tried to keep it simple. (haha! meaning not going crazy shopping for things and rather used the stuff I already have!) All I bought was dollies. I made this garlend and also used it to decoate with it.

Oh, I also making this heart shaped garlend to decorate and then decidet to hang it into Lilly's room. CUTE HUH??

Pink Cup Cakes

These heart shaped scrambeld eggs were a hit!

Jello Harts

Preston steamed to be happy with his blueberries and bannans...,

.... BUT then he saw this brownie heart and it was all over!!!

I just caught him in time before he went to town! ;)

Busted!

He settled for the plate...

... and sure had fun with it!

Oh, and he also LOVES his sippy cup!

What a big boy!

Last picture of the day. Three smiling kids! Thanks to flash no one is blurry! ;)

I hope you enjoyed the pictures. What did you guys do for V-day?

This years theme for Taylor's birthday, was a "no brainer". He has been obsessed with legos and so I knew he would love it! I couldn't wait to get stardet with the planning.
I knew for sure I wanted to bake him a lego cake. After a bit of reseach online, ok who am I fooling, hours of reseach, I got a few more ideas to really make this day special and pull the theme together.

Here is one of them.

I found a similar card on Etsy. But instead of buying it, I decided to make my own. I also made several other copies so I could used those to decorate as well.

I was pretty happy with the result!

Another excited find was lego scrapbook paper.

This banner was super easy and fun to make.

And while I was "playing" with some of the lego's, I came up with this:

Just attach two lego's to a ribbon and "voila", you got a nice lego garland.

To decorate the cups, I cut out more lego's and glued them onto the paper cups. Oh ya, and for confetti I just sprinkelt mini lego's all over the table.

Usuelly I am not big fan of plastic tablecloths, but in this case I chose a bright yellow one. And it was perfect! ;)

Since I wasn't sure how well my lego cake would turn out, I knew I wanted bake cupcakes.

Here is my version of cupcake decoraters.

Another easy way of decorating for a Lego party, is to fill up vases and glasses with Legos.

Our school board had a special massage for Taylor. ;)

And here we have the birthday boy infront of the gift table.

A closer look at the some of his gift's, wich I used to decorate as well.

Lego crayons ordert from Etsy.

Another Etsy find were these lego soaps.

Lego key chain in Taylor's favorite color.

Cupcakes with homemade vanilla frosting! Cute and Yummy!

NINE!!!!

Sweet Lilly ready to dig in! (note, this darling handmade doll dress was a Christmas gift from Auntie Geneva! Amazing! ;)

Now to the lego cake!

This sure was one project. I have never made a fondant cake, so I was a bit nerves. After coloring the fondant myself, (I used more then 2oz of dye!) I rolled it out, (at least 3x!) and tryed to lay it onto a chocolate cake I made. That was easier sayed then done, since the fondant was pretty heavy and did not lay flat on the cake. It eventuelly made the cake fall appard! :( Ugh!

So plan B came in place. I made two batches of Rice Krispie Treats and firmly pressed it into a rectangular greased baking form. And after 30 minutes in the fridge it was ready. SO easy!
