Cup Cakes... I Bakes

I threw a Baby Shower this week for my friend Jen. She is having Baby Boy #2!!!!! I was on a mission to make some cute cupcakes. I thought it would be a simple task. I started out my morning by surfing on the Internet for some cute ideas..... TWO HOURS LATER....

I was sooooo overwhelmed and had just so many ideas running through my head. I had looked through thousands of images of professional cup cakers. hahaha Brad finally talked me out of my "cupcake brain overload" He so kindly help me realize that this was my first cupcake decorating project and to just start out with the basics. I still do dream of becoming Ms. crafty cupcake.... but for now I'm still learning :)

THIS IS WHAT I WANTED TO DO.....

THIS IS WHAT I DID.......

I DID GET REALLY EXCITED BECAUSE I FOUND " THE PRINCESS CAKE!!!" Presenting....Annabelle's 1 yr. Birthday Cake (PLEASE READ SMALL PRINT)

I know this cake is really out of my league and I am just totally dreaming that mine will look anything like this. BUT I am going to attempt to make this baking beauty!!! I'm soooo excited to try this! I have four months to practice :)

Oh Sweet Sisters......The Sisters Suite

Yesterday I had ALL my sisters and my cute niece Kayla over for a girls day! It was so much fun chillin with the "Egan Girls" We had fun talking, dancing, making chocolate chip cookies....of course:) and watching oprah......need I say more!?!?!?. It has been a while since we have All been together. I love them so much and am so grateful for the different connections I have with each of them. They are all such sweethearts!!! There is something so cool about being with true friends who can just make you laugh harder than anyone else. Kayla and Annabelle are the two newest girls to add to this crazy bunch... What a fun day.....Oh sweet sisters!!!

I also am adding some pics of the "Sisters Suite" that has been in the works for a while. Some of the little projects I have been working on. This room is for my sisters (and Brad's two sisters) for when they come up her to visit me!!! It is there shabby chic getaway retreat :)
