The reason for my previous photoshoot...





As soon as I'd seen this done, I thought to myself "Where can I get some foam? When I am going into town next? Where should I put the pictures? How soon can I do a photo shoot of my cute boys?" So...I did it! And it adds just the right amount of "class" in my bedroom that I was going for.

I was going to do this for GNO some month but after doing it myself I've decided that is not a good idea.
REASON #1. $ the cost would be more than $5 ($4 for foam w/ 50% off coupon, $4 for modge podge with another 50% off coupon, $10 for pictures, $2 for ribbon, and a little $ for hot glue gun, paint brushes and other stuff)
REASON #2. This takes up a lot of room to do and I wouldn't have room for + or - 10 girls.
REASON #3. Modge Podge is MESSY!!! I didn't want it in my living room with + or - 10 girls.
REASON #4 Cutting the foam was a fun adventure and I WON'T do it for anybody...
REASON for REASON #4 I CAN'T cut straight!
REASON #5 I wasn't about to pick out ribbon for + or - 10 girls.
REASON #6 I only buy $8 foam when I have a 40% or 50% off coupon and I didn't want to come up with + or - 10 of them to buy the foam.
REASON #7 I JUST DON'T WANT TO!!!

So, for any of you girls that want to do this...I'd love to explain how I did it...and I wish you the best of luck!!!

Diaper Cake


My sister-in-law Sherrie taught me how to make these. They are way fun and easy to do. I did this for my friend's shower gift. I'm just a little proud of myself...that's why I posted this for you all to see.

If you notice, there are two binki's on this cake. I had to make sure they were still there when I took this picture and when I gave it to her. Payton was being a little binki thief. He wouldn't put them in his mouth, he would just get caught binki handed.

stressed...

So...getting this GNO figured is STRESSING ME OUT. The thing that's stressing me is a day of the week that will work for most. I get that talking to some friends Wednesdays are a not the best. I guess I need to know what nights will work for those that are even interested. Mondays are obviously a NO! What can you that are interested do??? I will probably do it the night that will work for the MOST! PLEASE let me know ASAP!!!
