My friend Julie put together the most amazing party for her son's first birthday!

A cookie theme complete with custom labels on all the milk bottles,
a gorgeous cake,
{even his smash cake was amazing!}
Now that's what I call cute!

First off I wanted to thank all of you for your comments in regards
to Edie and her home.
I don't know any details at the moment on how we all can help,
but as soon as I hear anything, I'll let you know!
Yesterday my husband and I installed shelving units in our storage shed.
I came across these wood planks that came with the shelving,
but that we were not going to use.
My husband had thrown them in the trash pile.
Of course I rescued them and immediately knew what I was going to make!
I think I am the last one on the face of the planet to make a subway sign but it was a lot of fun! I have 3 more boards so I think I will make more for my etsy shop!
I am also thinking about doing other sayings,
like the lyrics to "you are my sunshine" etc.
One of my worst nightmares has happened to one of our blogger friends.
Edie is a customer of mine and a fellow blogger who blogs about renovations, family, and redecorating. Although I don't know her personally, I feel for her loss deeply. My prayers go out to her and her family at this tragic time. A few days before Christmas her house burned to the ground in the middle of the night. Luckily everyone got out safely. I can't imagine what they must be going through. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

I have had several emails from people wondering
where I got my giant salad dressing recipe in my kitchen nook.
{see below}
I got it at Pottery Barn back in 2007.
I had to cut it down to size as it is quite large, measuring 30" x 50"
It is printed on a thin, transparent piece of plastic that adheres to the wall and is easily removable.
I have seen them for sale on eBay,

and found one here tonight if you are looking.
Not a bad price either.
The other question I get asked a lot is where did I get the numbers for my front door.
I know I have addressed this in the past,
{no pun intended!}
but they came from a company called wonderful graffiti which is no longer in business.
I did however find a seller on etsy that has some very similar ones!

If you have any other questions, feel free to
email me or ask me in the comments section!
