Let Them Eat Cake...

Along our journey in the Hills we met our photographer, Angela Pierson.  She was super nice & we can't wait to work with her.  I have a feeling we will have wonderful traditional shots as well as several fun photos.  Angela is open to just about anything & seems very laid back.  I'm sure we will all work well together.

After the ceremony & photos we will be having dinner at an Italian restaurant.  The facility is new & the staff was more than helpful, willing to take time to talk to us & ask several questions.  This restaurant was not our first choice, however, upon seeing both dinner locations, the decision was easy.  Here's a peek at our dinner location:

We can have this private room for the night for a fee, or risk overflow from the restaurant if they are busy that night.  They also have a patio area behind the restaurant they are willing to reserve for us if the weather is nice.  The owner is allowing us to bring in a dessert so we found a small cake shop in town.  A 10" cake was ordered.  It is red velvet with cream cheese frosting & chocolate piping.  Hopefully when it is done it will look something like this (white one) with roses on top:

Latest Creations...

Well before we started working on garage sale stuff (which is going rather well, almost all big furniture is gone) I was working on dressers for the master bedroom.  The boys have my dressers & Jamie doesn't have any.  I have way too many clothes, so a dresser is a must. 

Jamie found this Kent Coffey dresser on clean up week.  It was going to be sent to the local land fill.  I wish I had taken pictures of it before I painted because the dresser was awful looking.  There was peeling reddish brown paint that had to be sanded/scraped off.  After priming & painting it looks like this (still needs knobs):

Then a good friend gave us another small dress so I did the same thing... Sand-Prime-Paint for this end result:

Not bad for two free dressers... While I was busy painting the boys were working on their own creations.  For Mother's Day each boy decorated a cake for me at a local grocery store.  They were so proud!  The boy's figured it must be my birthday cake so they sang "Happy Birthday" many, many, many times that day.  It was very cute!
