Love.....Centrepieces

Ready, set, GO!

This is my attempt to start blogging. Some of you may think, why blog? Why now? The truth is I always have so many ideas that I need a way to share them with the world in hopes that I can entertain/help someone. I think I will stick to things I make, stuff I love and u might love too or stories that I can share. Not to mention the fact that I remind the lovely people of the world why they love me so much.

My first order of business, my brother's wedding.

Ok, so I have a tendency to go overboard with some of my ideas and really run myself into the ground trying to make it happen. This brings me to the centrepieces. My future sister-in-law came up with the idea to have cupcakes in lieu of a cake for their wedding (GENIUS! Because who ever gets around to eating the cake?!). After a week of solid cupcake tryouts (and a few extra pounds to make my jeans look painted on) we found some winners. The next step; make a cupcake stand for the tables. Here is a picture of what we came up with.


The base is thick foam pieces purchased on Ottawa Street and the wallpaper wrapped around the side is from Home Depot using a spray adhesive. We made sure to put a doily under so that you can't see the foam. Then we bought ribbon from Fabricland, secured with pins and glue and voila! They look fantastic.

Cost: less than $10.00

.....and this is y u love me.
