Happenings Lately

According to my life on instagram, life has been full of fun & sweet treats! (as it should be!) Unfortunately we're once again battling another round of sickness & hoping it'll pass quickly. We were able to have our wonderful new temple dedicated (learn more about LDS temples here) & I have been excited for it to re-open after the open house! I have some fun projects & posts planned so fingers crossed this cold doesn't turn into more bronchitis!

Striped Cake Stand DIY

I have a super easy & cute DIY cake stand. Best part? You can customize the colors!

Start with a wooden cake stand (I found mine at Hobby Lobby), paints of your choice & a food safe sealer. (Ask a worker to help you pick the best one)

(Be sure not to run this through the dishwasher or anything crazy!)

This project was part of a "challenge" with some amazing ladies who are talented bloggers for a group theme! This time around the #CreativeBuzz decided to challenge ourselves with stripes. I am loving the diversity between all of us- so there's sure to be a project you love here! Hope on over & check out what they created with stripes!
