Craft and Creativity

My first Cinnamon roll project was this....

And they were delicious, but were missing that gooey-not-quite-cooked center, and with the adorable Heart Shaped Cinnamon Rolls you get two center, ummmm, delish!!!

Colorful Wedding Cake

This cake just makes me smile! Purple, teal, and green wedding cake, reminds of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory meets awesometastic wedding!

And the purple bloom just screams romance.

What do you think, brides cake or grooms cake?

With so many couples having mutual friends they are doing away with the my friends or your friends, and everyone is just sitting together.

I love this!

Romantic Wedding



Wedding Chics

Just so sweet we couldn't not share! Love the suculents, the soft sweet romance all over!

Lace Wedding Cake

The link from Pinterest went to some spammy site

This lace wedding cake caught the eye of our Awesometastic Team, and frankly, I think it's sweet, vintage and lacy-lious!

Can you imagine having your cake designer using the lace from your gown or your mom's wedding gown and matching it to your cake!

So sweet!!

Petals Wedding Cake

This wedding cake just screams soft and fluffy and love!

The White on White, with the cascading petals is simply gorgous!

I couldn't find the origjnal source, the Pinterest link went to some spammy site

What do you think? Over the top, or just too blah?

May Day Pole

Happy May Day!

Thank you Martha for the image

We did a wedding several years ago, where the bride had a May Day Pole, and all of the children gathered around and danced with the long ribbons around the pole, it was so sweet and a great way to honor the traditions of our families in the South.

Easter Pictures with Baby Chics

Photo Credit and Studio Credit: Photography 35 aka the most patient incredible kind hearted people

I hope you all had a great Easter or Passover weekend! I just wanted to share some cuteness with you!

Soooooooooooooo, Gabriel (our 2.25 year old, wouldn't sit with the Easter Bunny, and let's face it that guy can be a bit scary...) So, our tradition has been to take his picture with the baby Chics... and it's cute, right!

So this year, I wanted a picture with G and Z. Gabriel has been a great big brother. He loves to help with his little brother, bringing his binky, and his blankey, and sort of sharing his toys.

So I though, hey.... this will be a piece of cake! A picture with a 2 year old and 3 month old... no problem!

Until it happened, and my husband happened to snap it on his camera.

No Baby was harmed in the taking of this picture

Oops... so the moral of the story is, be sure to have your wife laying under the bench in case your 2 year old thinks it's funny to see if a baby really does bounce.

Real Wedding: Shannon and Chris

Really Cool Wedding Idea

We are always on the look out for super cool ideas! New, super cool ideas are even funner!

So, when this blog came across my desk, I just had to let you know. It's rare these days that something new and exciting crosses our desks.... so I just had to share!

Check out I Love Pezzulli, but first let me tell what what it is.

Okay, so picture this, you were invited to Anna's wedding and you are going to know, NO ONE, that's awkward right?

But Anna solved that - she has created a blog that features each one of her wedding guests, creates a blog post about them, how she met them, some fun facts, and why that person is special to her and her fiancé.

This way, no one is a stranger! I love it!

So friends, meet Anna and Vince, and meet Anna and Vince's friend's.
