the rat pack and pizza and the great things!

reading taza's post made me hungry for pizza today. winter insisted on making a great pizza! i'm a lucky mom.
"i want to be a chef, a vet, a pilot, an artist, and build house for people who's houses are broken, like ty pennington." - winter eden
i can tell she is going to be something great someday.

merry songs of the good ole' rat pack filled our kitchen as we attempted to throw our pizza dough sky high. i wish you could hear it...i just wish you, my blogger friends could feel my happiness in those moments i shared something so simple with my daughter.
we sang made up songs about pizza to the italian themed songs i hear on commercials ever so often. we laughed and baby boy just sat and watched us be silly as we cooked. winter had the funniest things to say.
"this music is like 'date music'. a boy takes a girl out for a date. and he takes her to a pizza place!" - winter eden
tonight's little chef eats her masterpiece. it was good! i know brighton would agree!
me: what will your resteraunt be called?
winter: sapa-nozzi's
me: well, it definately sounds italian. (throwing the dough high in the air)

it's pink.

a couple of weeks ago brandon's mom and sister surprised winter with a decorated room to call her own! I had painted the wall weeks prior but hadn't had the time personalize it for her. i am so grateful that they could do this for her. it meant so much to her and made her new house feel like home to her. winter loves keeping it neat and clean now that she has some furniture.
winter also put up glow in the dark stars and moons on the opposite wall (not shown) above her dresser. she loves her room...where she doesn't have to share with Brighton...though she loves him dearly also.
winter and brighton.
winter is wearing her mardi gras mask we got on our trip.

thank you diane and megan!

My Mod Gallery Standout and prints arrive earlier this week! I love metallic paper so much! It's so my style and goes perfect with my photography and all the colours I'm so attracted to.

Something is missing here...I need Sherrard Photography over it!
Help Scribblin' Sisters! yes, i notice my chairs don't match...i hope to change that soon.
Pic of my sister and her husband, its one of my favorites!

DIY your wedding

a bit of stuff i'm using for my wedding. i love festival lights!

My wedding is near the water. I needed a way to hide the misquito candles I have to have for my May wedding. What was a cost effective way to keep with my wedding carnival theme and have the dual purpose of hiding hideous tacky misquito candles...
hurricane glasses!
i found for $3 at hobby lobby

check out how I did this!
