I took a couple ballet classes and I am hooked again. I used to dance pretty much everyday for close to 18 years. After having my second baby I decided I wanted to try it again after taking the Pure Barre classes. Those really helped me get my body ready. I can't wait to find a studio in Georgia so I can at least take a class a week. Feels so good to do something you love. 

Love is in the Air

 I have had these books I bought from the Dollar Tree for months and I finally got to use some pages. I loved how this bunting turned out and it was $1!

 I also bought a couple packages of dollies also at the Dollar Tree. I just sewed them together and it make cute garland for the stairs and above our table. Nothing better than a cute inexpensive craft! Hopefully this inspires your Valentine's crafts!

Are you as obsessed as me? Why is she so pretty, classy and such great actress and singer? If only...

Great Excuses

I love a good excuse to try a new recipe and idea. It was my good friend's 30th birthday and her husband planned a surprise party and we were in charge of the cake. He told us that Kit Kat's were her favorite and I remember seeing a cake done like this so I thought I'd try my hand at it. And I have seen a bunch of these little banners like this and thought the cake needed one for sure! And since I left it plain I will be able to use it again and again. After I baked a regular cake box mix I used roughly 36 Kit Kat and broke them apart every two bars. Then poured a bag of M&M's on the top and tied it with a ribbon so it would give it a little more support. My daughter and I happened to eat at Panda Express the day before and I just grabbed an extra pair of chopsticks for the banned and used a diamond stencil and paper I had laying around. I love how it turned out and my friend was very surprised and love her cake!
