Do-It-Yourself

I purchased a cute little yellow table several years ago at one of my favorite home boutiques in Atlanta, Urban Cottage. After our recent renovation the yellow table did not really have a place in our newly decorated living room. So, I decided that I would take on a do-it-myself project and give the table a new look. I sanded, primed, painted (black), distressed, and waxed. The finished project looks great if you ask me! I'm very proud of my handy work (Casey usually does all things "handy" so when I have a handy moment all to myself I get really excited)!

Mini cakes


So it seems as though cupcakes are all the rage for parties,wedding, etc. We usually get cupcakes to celebrate birthday's for our medical staff at work, and in the past favored Piece of Cake. Unfortunately, they are only open WHILE I'm at work so I always had to leave my nurse duties to run pick up cupcakes. About a year ago I found CamiCakes in Buckhead and have not been disappointed since. I still love Piece of Cake for cakes, but CamiCakes is my favorite for the mini version. A plus, they are open until 8:30pm so it's much easier to pick them up if you work full-time. If you haven't been by there yet, it's a must!! This past week we celebrated birthdays at work and I ordered the Red Velvet; mmmm!! I promise, you will be in cupcake heaven!
