Spice Jars

I hate the mismatched look of a ton of spices, but can't afford a bunch of jars to transplant them to right now. Plus, some would be too big, or too small for some spices. THis is a great way to get a uniform look for free thanks to Craft Leftovers, who made these templates, you can go to her blog and print 'em off. I think I will take a slightly simpler rout and just tape white paper around mine with the info (no illustrations for me). Yay for cheap practical design solutions!

Bon anniversaire bebe V!

Baby V turned 2! I was the party planner, and had a lot of fun with the Parisian theme (her mom and dad are going to Paris on thursday).I made this Eiffel Tower cake topper out of wafer cookies and royal icing. It made me want to make some gingerbread houses.

V: "uh-oh, uh-oh, see see..."
Her balloons floated to the 2 story ceiling
and she thought she could reach them if she just could jump high enough. Cute.
