Halloween in the House!

Boo!  Summer is slowly waning and Ben and I are chomping at the bit thinking of all thing fall!  The apples, the pumpkins, the leaves, the cool but not cold air, the candy, the ghouls and goblins...the fact that all the spider webs on our porch will finally be in season!  So many awesome things come with fall...best of all Halloween!  And with those thoughts to inspire me, I've been conjuring up a little collection of limited edition pieces for Etsy.  There are pumpkin people, witches, Halloween girls, etc. and there are 3-5 of each piece.  They are posted on Etsy now, get them while they last!  :)

Happy Anniversary!

Wowie!  Has it been three years already?  Ben and I have had three happy married years together and have been happily teasing and rolling our eyes at each other for almost *gulp* ten years!  But I feel like we've known each other our whole lives.  Every year gets better and better and I'm so so lucky to have my best friend at my side always.  :)   

Weekend Wedding!

Ben and I recently were guests at the wedding of our good friends, Jess and Shane.  They are amazing people and had a beautiful ceremony and super fun reception.  And I wanted to share with you the cake topper I made for them as a wedding gift.  Jess chose blue birds for her invitation and wanted the theme repeated in her topper. 

 
Her cake is really simple and classic, making the love birds the star of the show.  I love how they turned out!

Ben looked quite handsome all dressed up.  :)

Before the ceremony we sat in this adorable stone and wood roof/bench thingy...it was really charming.

And what the heck...here's one of the few good photos of me (far away and looking down, lol).

The happy couple...love you guys!  :)
