first; I got a random itch to make the living room brighter so we painted the fireplace "sea song". Its a bluish teal color. I love it, its growing on Brad. Make the room look so much bigger. I just need some curtains to finish it up:) The pic was taken before we had put the room back together so usually there is a fireplace screen to make it look nicer..but, you'll just have to imagine it:) The color is a little funky and fresh...some may not like it...I kept singing the outkast song "so fresh and so clean" as I painted for inspiration:)
Saturday we went to Earthfest!!! Beans petted her first snake at the Knoxville Zoo booth:) I figured they always say to let kids experience different textures and she has books with different animal textures to feel...so why not the real thing:) She was indifferent about it. They also had a aligater skin there (not the real thing!) and she liked the feel of that a little better. Poor kid!
Last but not least. I don't know how I have become the cake lady for my friends but I'm trying to do my best:) This was probably my most successful cake yet. My friend is getting married so we threw her a Lingerie Bridal shower....I think it turned out ok...what do you think?
So that is the recap of the weekend...it was a busy one! Share about yours!

love love your color on your fireplace...........
hate.....yes, i used that horrible word hate....the pic of the snake. it made my feet curl up. i can't stand them....oh...i can't stand them at all. my mom insists she "marked me" when i was a baby. i think she's right.
cake was awesome..but did it taste as good as it looked!! and i'm so digging the blue on the fireplace..and accents will make it seem it's been there forever. and the snake...go lena!! snakes get a bad rap..yes, they deserve the respect they get but they are just snakes:) my weekend was with old people..er visit and all:) but my sister carleen who works at a greenhouse loaded me up with veg and flower plants so that was awesome! i'm home this weekend!! yeah!
thanks Jessica! and the cake was yummy mom!:) I hate snakes as well but more in the wild when they are an enemy:) We'll see how beans turns out...I have either scared her for life or she'll want to be a zooligist:)
The fireplace looks gorgeous. It really does brighten the room up a lot. I haven't showed Matt the pic of Beans- he would get the heebie jeebies. Your cake was lovely; you have so many talents!
I love your fireplace! But you know how I love to paint with bright colours. Also, go Beans with the snake! You're just setting yourself up to have weird animals in your house (remember my iguana, poor Lord Byron). And you're so crafty with the cakes. I'm going to spend my entire summer practicing making cupcakes, you should come help!
yay Linz for the comment:) I should come help with the cupcakes...I have a great little recipe from Martha for mini cupcakes!! RIP Lord Byron and the many other weird pets we had along the way....maybe that is where I get my desire to have a chinchilla!
speaking of cupcakes...my neighbor across the street just did a birthday party with cupcakes and she has several cute cupcake holders...ya know the spiral kind ect. she said if i ever need to borrow them i may do so!! let me know if you want to use them for the event!! also some magazine i just read had cupcake recipes and several icing decorating ideas...i'll find and pass it along linz..............
