    Where do you find all this cool stuff??? Your blog is a regular stop on my daily "lap around the internet". Hope all is well with your beautiful family.
    Oregon is on our list of "places to visit in the US" because my son wants to meet Zach off "Little People, Big World. " (He also wants to go to England because that's where 'Kipper the Dog" is from! LOL!)

    Awesome inspiration today. The memory cards are great and I'm going to pull out some punches and paper and make some of my own.

    I've loved that cake for a long time. Never tried to make it though, but the photo of it is serious inspiration for me. LOL
    Love the match game too! I have it saved in my "must make someday" file.

    Are you going to be making that cake in about a year from now? It is beautiful and, I bet, super delicious.

    Thanks for sharing the cake. I am planning a baby shower for a close friend and if she finds out it's a girl (fingers crossed!) that may be the perfect dessert for her shower!

    Hello Alli,
    Just letting you know this is the same cake I created for two of our three kids second birthdays...not hard at all. Use the correct pastry bag and piping for ribbon and it is all a smooth move. Enjoy the moments....

    Ali, if you have a Borders Books near you check to see if they are having a party to 'celebrate' the The Very Hungry Catepillar. It's what Borders is doing to celebrate one of you favortie books.
