Chloe and her friend are participating Trep$ (a trendy terms for young entrepreneurs) Market place at school and they have been working very hard, learning about product development, finance, marketing, advertising and sales.

They are making “Scented Necklaces with Charms”.  An idea they came up with, of putting perfume in a little glass bottle and wearing it as a necklace. 

Them along with two sponsors/supporters working overtime…

Can’t wait to see their sales skills this Thursday!

Today I’m celebrating my friend’s upcoming wedding, and we came to The Art of Cakes to make beautiful cupcake bouquets.

My creation!

So much fun with these ladies!

I’m so happy for you, my beautiful friend! Thanks for letting me a part of your special day.

Guests have arrived!

Shane also got a playdate.

While they are out, I prepared hot chocolate & dessert plates for the cake.

Birthday cake!

Surprise!

LOVED the girls’ reactions when I cut the cake. Totally made my 9 hrs of labor making the cake sooooo worth it!

Came out better than I thought!

Let the good times continue~

We extended the party until 8pm because they were having so much fun. We ended the night with Home Alone 3.
WHAT A FUN DAY.

I prepared brunch for the guests.

Birthday girl!

I’m planning Chloe’s birthday party tomorrow and decided to make her a rainbow cake. 

I didn’t realize I needed several more baking pans and mixing bowls to make 9 different layers of cake so I took out whatever bowls I could use…

Note to self: Need to buy cooling rack.

Looking good, so far…

I had a lot of fun throwing sprinkles to make it stick. 

Ready to party!

With a great help of kids, we painted our dinning room and installed a brand new wallpaper by Ellie Cashman. I had been obsessing over
this dark floral design wallpaper for two years now. I finally pulled the trigger and went for it. I’m very happy with how it turned out!

Church decorations. Done. 🙂

For the last few weeks, my friend and I have been busy planning and decorating for our church, getting ready for the Advent season.

We made 6 big wreaths with help of lovely ladies who volunteered to help.

We strung lights to the wreaths and hang them from the ceiling.

I got to hang them using a riser from the top of the ceiling. It was wild, fun and scary to be so high up there. What an experience.

Put together this beautiful arrangements for tonights dinner.

Table is set~
