This past Sunday my good friend,Katie, came over to make cake pops with me. I'm not sure if you have ever heard of them, because I hadn't until a few months ago. You basically put cake on a stick and you can turn them into any cute character you want. We decided to go with an Easter theme for our first try at these.
The items I used for the cake pops.
Katie's demonstrating how it's done.
The next project from this weekend was painting our guest bedroom. We are having family come in town for Easter and so we decided it was high time to tackle this paint job. It was like this when we moved in from being a model home, and since we are not having little ones any time soon it needed to go. Plus, when kiddo's do come along I want to pick my own paint scheme anyway.
It was very bright, but you can't really tell from this picture.
Florescent really. It doesn't quite go with our furniture.
Let's just say the walls needed a lot of primer and several coats of paint to cover the very lovely flowers. I actually thought the pink chair rail was the hardest to cover!
These are the after pictures. We still need to add a few accessory pieces to the room. I want to add some color to this side with some throw pillows and changing out the lamp shade.
Still needs a few things, but MUCH better. Ha! Now the room is all ready for our family. My God mother (second cousin), Pat, and her husband, Rocky, are coming in from Dallas. Plus their daughter, Wendy, and her daughter, Emilee, are coming all the way from France. They all arrive Wednesday night and are staying a week! We are so excited and can't wait until they get here. Since Wendy and Emilee live so far away I NEVER get to see them so this will be an extra special Easter. In any case, I may not be blogging as much while they are here. Just wanted to give you all a heads up! ;)
My hard workin' hubby.
