Sunday Afternoon Brain Dump

This past week has been pretty full of lots of different activities. We celebrated more birthdays on February 7th. Chip, Jen, and Bella all had a happy birthday that ended with an awesome fish fry at Mom and Dad's house this past Tuesday night. I supplied the dessert, which was a couple of Pinterest projects combined. I painted a teracotta planting pot with chalkboard paint and filled it with this cupcake bouquet. It was SUPER easy and made for a fun little presentation.

I also made this fun little project from Pinterest. I've had it pinned on one of my boards for such a long time, but when I finally saw it in person at my friend Megan's house, I knew that I had to do it. I had everything needed (picture frame with no backing or glass, wire, and hot glue). All I needed to get was a package of mini clothespins. And I added the little burlap bow at the top because I kinda love burlap...a lot. Check out our brand new Prayer Board! We have little squares of scrapbooking paper that we can write down little prayers or different people we need to pray for and it reminds us each day what we should be thankful for. I love it!

Chip and Jen welcomed little twin lambs this week! How precious are these sweet babies???

Yesterday, some friends and I gave our friend Taryn a baby shower at her sweet, little church. We had a great turnout and T got some wonderful new things for baby Hutch. Her cake was so cute and was yummy, too! She requested a painting from me that she has seen in a store in Shreveport that matches baby Hutch's new crib bedding. This is how it turned out....



This is the adorable cake!

Well, that was our week! This coming week shouldn't be quite so busy, so maybe I'll have a few extra days to do some blogging.

Also, I've sorta given up on the February Photo Challenge. I've just been taking regular pictures on my own. Oh well. It was a nice idea... :)
