He is been a blessing, our happiness, our everything. Our little boy is growing so fast. We can hardly keep up with him. Tomorrow he will have a birthday party and We are thanful for the people aroud us who love and care for our Jr. For helping us and being there for us. Today I just wanted to share that we feel blessed, and loved and we are thankful for our Jr. Thank you God... Because without you all this wouldn't be possible.

What a hot glue gun and some free time can do!!!

Those who know me... Know that I like to decorate stuff... Anything.
I've helped friends decorate for their events... Like weddings and quinces parties. I have some imagination and I like to put it on the table. Those who I have worked with know that I like to do it by my self because I have a vision and when someone else with another vision is helping or trying to help... It gets two different visions that don't work together.... Proof of that was sadly my little sister Mary on her sweet 16... She trusted me... And I was in charge of decorating the place... But when I got to the place one of my uncles( very loved by me but with another vision) had arranged the tables and chairs the opposite way... Not only that, he decided to make his own decorations... Well my decorations and his decorations didn't match... But it was too late... I guess we both tried our best but we had different visions... Lol
For my friends wedding, she knew what she wanted and I just helped her do the arrangements... I decorated an arch for her and a silk roses bouquet( my favorite bouquet yet to make) ... Sadly I don't have any pics to prove it.
For another friend I did the table decorations and I got to decorate her some other stuff... I will ask her for pics to show you guys later on.
Returning to the subject... My son's b-day is coming up in Two weeks and my husband let's me decorate how I want( with a budget) and I'm so exited. Well, my Jr is into Disney Cars Movie, so we decided to do it with that theme. Checking out the Cars cakes I came to find out that to decorate them with the cars colors which are black and red, the bakeries use so much food coloring the cake tastes bitter. So i'm just getting a regular cake with no decorations on it. So there was my quest to find something to decorate my baby's cake. I got this cutouts at the craft store... Some gift tissue paper,some wire and a hot glue gun... Everything came out to $7.00 or less and this is what I came out with. I hope it helps you... Save some $$$ and do it yourself.




So this big piece is going to be in the middle of the cake and the rest of the cartoon cutouts around the big piece. I will post other pictures when it's all together, including the balloon table centerpiece and other stuff I have in mind.




Well this is me and my little creations.
