&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Yesterday I shared with you how I made over my &lt;a href="http://www.fairytalefrosting.blogspot.com/2013/05/emerald-green-doors.html"&gt;bedroom door and closet door&lt;/a&gt;. Today check out what I did to the inside of my bedroom closet!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;This is what my closet looked like before. I attempted some creative organizing but it really wasn't working out.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8718005189/" title="Bedroom Closet Makeover by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Bedroom Closet Makeover" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7357/8718005189_1bf03fbea2.jpg" height="500" width="375" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Here is what it looks like after! Well without all of my clothes and stuff in it yet! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8718004913/" title="Bedroom Closet Makeover by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Bedroom Closet Makeover" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7401/8718004913_91812bd179.jpg" height="500" width="375" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;I decided to utilize the door as jewelry storage. I am a visual person and need to see my options laid out in front of me. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8718004989/" title="Bedroom Closet Makeover by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Bedroom Closet Makeover" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7334/8718004989_9ecb25914f.jpg" height="500" width="375" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;I covered the shelf with left over contact paper from my &lt;a href="http://fairytalefrosting.blogspot.com/2013/03/ch-ch-ch-changes.html"&gt;Pantry Project&lt;/a&gt;. I painted the inside blue with a 50's starburst retro design in aqua.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8718004997/" title="Bedroom Closet Makeover by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Bedroom Closet Makeover" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7358/8718004997_02d5c12ab1.jpg" height="500" width="375" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Originally I had planned to use different door knobs to hang bangles and bracelets on. However door knobs are expensive. Instead I used glitter on some clear gems and hot glued them to long screws.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8718004955/" title="Bedroom Closet Makeover by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt; &lt;img alt="Bedroom Closet Makeover" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7340/8718004955_6cd9b421dc.jpg" height="500" width="375" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;For an added burst of fun, I painted outer frame of the door hot pink!! &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8719122876/" title="Bedroom Closet Makeover by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Bedroom Closet Makeover" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7393/8719122876_eb444b8933.jpg" height="500" width="375" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;I wanted to create a whimsical vibe so I changed the door knob and added a key hole plate to it. The key hole part isnt functional but it looks fantastic!&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8718005177/" title="Bedroom Closet Makeover by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Bedroom Closet Makeover" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7337/8718005177_d2f6ffa0f8.jpg" height="500" width="375" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Here is the inside with all of my clothes and jewelry. Nice, neat, and organized! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8718005087/" title="Bedroom Closet Makeover by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Bedroom Closet Makeover" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7336/8718005087_9be8b6cf0f.jpg" height="500" width="375" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;For a little added glam I made this faux chandelier. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8718005161/" title="Bedroom Closet Makeover by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Bedroom Closet Makeover" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7453/8718005161_b7f699a6b9.jpg" height="500" width="375" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;I also love elephants so when I found this crystal elephant pull chain, I had to have it!&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8719122932/" title="Bedroom Closet Makeover by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Bedroom Closet Makeover" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7403/8719122932_263cd34ca9.jpg" height="500" width="375" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;The final touch was to organize my clothes. I organize by color then sleeve length. I made these dividers for easy organization.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;So what do you think?! I hope you love it as much as I do! Every morning its like opening a secret door to wonderland!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Thanks for stopping by!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Little did Panetone know, I was already obsessed with it! Well, ok, maybe obsessed with green in general. The floor plan of my house is mostly green. Including my bedroom. However, my bedroom door and closet door were the standard wood. Blah blah, booooring!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Here's what they looked like before:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8715257947/" title="Bedroom Doors Makeover by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Bedroom Doors Makeover" height="375" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7438/8715257947_78f28e0a7b.jpg" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;See how lame and boring? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8715257981/" title="Bedroom Doors Makeover by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Bedroom Doors Makeover" height="375" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7343/8715257981_bccacb4e09.jpg" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Meh. Blah.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;And then I transformed them with paint!!!! Taaaa Daaaa!!! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8716378134/" title="Bedroom Doors Makeover by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Bedroom Doors Makeover" height="375" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7338/8716378134_038a8f9e7b.jpg" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Why no, thats not a different door on the right (my closet). I changed the door knob and I attached Dollar Store frames to the door for architectural detail. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8716378120/" title="Bedroom Doors Makeover by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Bedroom Doors Makeover" height="375" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7444/8716378120_f354841410.jpg" width="500" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Stay tuned, the door makeover was just the beginning!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Are you getting in on the emerald green trend? What projects are you turning into this season's hottest color?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;I am so pleased to share with you a real party from one of my readers! This absolutely adorable Uno themed first birthday party was done by Laurie Leal. It just could not be cuter! Check out the details!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://s1220.photobucket.com/user/FairytaleFrost/media/Scan1_zps0d69aeae.jpeg.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt=" photo Scan1_zps0d69aeae.jpeg" border="0" height="400" src="http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd445/FairytaleFrost/Scan1_zps0d69aeae.jpeg" width="282" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;a href="http://s1220.photobucket.com/user/FairytaleFrost/media/IMG_7714_zps6ec47efd.jpg.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt=" photo IMG_7714_zps6ec47efd.jpg" border="0" height="353" src="http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd445/FairytaleFrost/IMG_7714_zps6ec47efd.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Laurie said:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Avery is my third child. If there is one thing I know, it's that the one year old party is for the parents, not the child.  At this point I don't have anything to prove and hosting a party where we invited our friends would mean a very large gathering with MANY kids.  If the weather was nice in Upstate NY at the beginning of April, it could have been an option.  But it's not.  So we decided to keep the party to a small intimate group of five families (10 adults and 10 kids).  Since I wasn't going to be spending a ton of money or time of large quantities of food, I dedicated my time to adorable invitations, the cutest outfit ever, and the dessert table.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Being a first birthday, I decided on an "Uno" theme. First, the invite.  &lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/paperclever?ref=shop_sugg"&gt;Paper Clever&lt;/a&gt; (via etsy) made adorable invitations. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Second, the outfit.  Again, Etsy provided me with &lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/birthdaycouture?ref=shop_sugg"&gt;Birthday Couture&lt;/a&gt; who made an adorable Uno dress.  Matched with rainbow leg warmers, a monogrammed diaper cover and headband - Avery was set for some pictures! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;For the party, dinner food was on one table, drinks on another and the dessert table - another.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;I began the dessert table by using black and white.  Black table cloth, white dishes.  I added the Uno colors (red, green, yellow and blue) with icing, flowers, etc..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;The dessert table included cupcakes with toppers from Fairytale Frosting, cookies, chocolate lollipops and candy.  The cupcakes alternated chocolate and white cake.  The lovely toppers were my featured item and added color to the cupcakes.  The cookies were homemade sugar cookies with homemade colored icing.  I use red, green and blue to stay with the Uno theme.  I melted colored chocolate for lollipops.  I arranged them like the Wild Card in the game Uno.  Little red ribbons were tied on each lollipop for a more finished look.  Lemonheads and Cherry Bombs filled glass jars.  I used toys we already had (like the soft blocks) and some cute red pots with cut flowers to fill in the extra area.  A personalized frame on the wall helped frame the table.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;I am so excited to share with you my recent party! If you've been following my blog, you know that I recently had a roommate move in. Jess has been fantastic to live with. We get along like we've known each other for years! We decided it would be fun to have a party to meet each other's friends. We decided to throw a brunch with the theme Pearls &amp;amp; Pajamas! As one girl put it "Brunch, pajamas and cocktails?! I'm there!" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Check out all of the fun we had!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Of course we had to take a group photo in our sexy pjs! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;

I unexpectedly lost my beloved dog Sookie. Sookie was only 4.5 years old. She started showing signs of what I had believed to be kennel cough on Easter Sunday. I took her to the vet on Monday morning, after a few hours they transferred me to the University of Minnesota Veterinary Clinic. Sookie was admitted into ICU. I learned a few hours later that she had a collapsing trachea. This is apparently very common in small breed dogs, especially yorkies. However, Sookie's was quite severe. We kept her in ICU over night, and the plan was to see how she did with drug therapy. If that didn't improve things she would need a surgery that would cost over $5,000.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Monday afternoon I went to the ICU, took off her little sweatshirt, gave her a hug and kiss and told her I'd see her in the morning. At 5:00am, Tuesday April 2nd, I received the call that my baby girl went into cardiac arrest and did not make it. As Im sure you can imagine I was and am devistated by her loss. I've had a difficult time coming to terms with it, and my poor boy Caesar has also been lost. I had all kinds of posts I wanted to put up last week of projects I've been working on, but I couldnt find the energy.&amp;nbsp; I didnt get out of bed for 3 days. Fortunately, I work in an office of dog owners. Everyone was extremely understanding of my situation.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;I wanted to share with you some of the ways I coped with her loss. First, is a letter I posted on my personal Facebook page to her.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/6218342272/" title="Sookie and Me 11-20-09 by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Sookie and Me 11-20-09" src="http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6101/6218342272_1b2802d30b.jpg" height="320" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
Dear Sookie,&lt;br /&gt;
Hi baby girl. You know you’re weird ass mamma had to write you a goodbye letter. I know, you’re thinking “yep, saw this coming mom.” I have to try to put into words what you’ve meant to me. Words really don’t do it justice, but at least it helps to say them.&lt;br /&gt;
I remember the day you came into my life. I pulled in the driveway and saw you in the backyard. A tiny, nervous little furball. You looked up at me with those big eyes and I was done. I was yours.&lt;br /&gt;
I had no idea at that moment how much you would teach me. I think that my heart quadrupled in size with just the love I had for you. Sometimes I would sit and stare at you because I couldn’t believe how much love I felt. I wanted to hug and squeeze you constantly. I missed you when we were a part. But when I would come home, there you were, excited to see me. You would jump, smile and “honk”.&lt;br /&gt;
You were the worlds best snuggler. Really. Every night, curling up in a little ball next to me, or sharing my pillow. We were like girl friends at a sleepover, laying on our backs next to each other.&lt;br /&gt;
You were so enthusiastic when we would go out for walks. I should have taken you on more of them.&lt;br /&gt;
Sometimes it drove me crazy, but I secretly loved how, on the weekends, you would try to wake me up by pawing and licking my face. You were always ready to start the day happy and bouncy.&lt;br /&gt;
I worry about Caesar since I cant explain to him where you are. You taught him how to be a dog, by the way, thanks for teaching him to sit on the back of the couch! He’s too big for that you know.&lt;br /&gt;
I will miss your high fives or how you would dance for a treat. I will miss watching you find the sunniest spot in the yard and stretch out in the warmth. I will miss how you felt, how your tiny paws felt when you would walk across my feet. I will miss every little thing about you. Even cleaning up the little turds you’d leave for me when I was at work.&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you for changing me. Thank you for loving me, just as I am. Thank you for making the decision to leave this world so that I didn’t have to decide for you. Having you in my life, even though the time was so short, was the greatest gift I could have ever received. I will count the minutes until we can be together again.&lt;br /&gt;
Saying “I love you” doesn’t even begin to cover what I felt for you, but I’ll say it anyway. Sookie, I love you, always have, always will.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;I also created this memorial photo of her&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8640932456/" title="Sookie Angel by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Sookie Angel" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8119/8640932456_69f4919aff.jpg" height="454" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;The outpouring of love and support I received from my friends, family, and coworkers has been incredible. I have been fortunate enough to have lived a life that hasnt been touched by much grief and loss. This was a loss that was more than I could put into words. But people reached out to me, phone calls, facebook, texts, and even cards. It was such a humbling experience. I miss my baby girl every second of every day, but its a comfort to know that I have such wonderful support.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;I hope to be back to posting more often soon, I have lots to share with you!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;I'll end this post with a link to this lovely poem. Anyone who has lost a pet is probably familiar with &lt;a href="http://www.petloss.com/rainbowbridge.htm"&gt;The Rainbow Bridge.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Yep, I was just as surprised as Caesar to see that Google Reader was going away. But all is not lost!

I recently signed up for a new monthly subscription.....SOCKS!!

This client was bringing the dessert to a combined birthday party. The two guests of honor were friends with different tastes. One, a chef who was very much into Star Wars (you can see the cupcakes I did for his baby shower &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://fairytalefrosting.blogspot.com/2013/01/star-wars-baby-shower-cupcakes.html"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;) the other a girlie girl who loves unicorns, glitter, feathers and all things girlie. She does have a flair for the interesting (check out the cupcakes I did for her past birthday &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://fairytalefrosting.blogspot.com/2012/03/zombies.html"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;).

I've done the jungle theme a few times before (&lt;a href="http://fairytalefrosting.blogspot.com/2010/08/baby-culvers-jungle-safari.html"&gt;Here&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://fairytalefrosting.blogspot.com/2010/11/pastel-jungle-baby-shower-cupcakes.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="http://fairytalefrosting.blogspot.com/2013/02/sparkle-safari.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;) but I think these animals have become my favorite yet!&lt;/div&gt;

Sooo, ummmm....sorry? But I've had a lot of changes going on these days. One of those changes involves my Facebook status going from "In a relationship" to "single."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;I have a new roommate, coincidentally also named Jessica! Here we are on a roomie date night!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8553344234/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Me and Jess by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Me and Jess" height="500" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8379/8553344234_21d9d9ffdf.jpg" width="375" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;In addition to having a new roomie, I've become somewhat of a dog hoarder. Shortly before Jess moved in, I signed up with &lt;a href="http://www.underdogrescuemn.com/"&gt;Underdog Rescue&lt;/a&gt; to be a foster mom! Currently, I am fostering a little Chihuahua named Sausage. He's actually been dubbed Sausage McMuffin, or Muffin for short. He's a spunky little guy and has been a complete joy to have in my home! He is a puppy mill survivor and to see the changes in him over the last month or so, gosh, I am so blessed! He went from being this shy, scared little guy to a spunky fun loving pup! And in such a short time! Muffin has a family interested in adopting him now, so I am crossing my fingers he finds his forever home!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8552237449/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Muffin by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Muffin" height="500" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8376/8552237449_640bf346db.jpg" width="375" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Why am I a dog hoarder then? Well, as it turns out, I have 2 dogs, plus 1 foster, and Jess has 2 dogs. So, here we are, a couple of single dog hoarding ladies. You know they say that dogs are good judges of character, so all of our future dates will have a panel of dogs to answer to!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8552239077/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Party of Five by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Party of Five" height="500" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8235/8552239077_ddcb9e0b5f.jpg" width="375" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;So, now that I have a roommate and a bunch of dogs, I had to rethink that teenie tiny kitchen. There was a coat closet by my backdoor that sometime ago I asked my stepdad to change into a "baking supply closet". Here are a couple of "before" shots of the disorganized closet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8552252337/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Pantry Before 2 by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Pantry Before 2" height="500" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8386/8552252337_b91f2cd087.jpg" width="375" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8553356110/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Pantry Before by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Pantry Before" height="500" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8101/8553356110_31621c7569.jpg" width="375" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Yeah. It was desperate for revamping. I managed to downsize some supplies, and find some more practical storage for stuff so that I could turn it into a useable pantry for us.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Here is the "in progress" photo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Here are the final shots. I used some storage bins I had on hand and a few bins from the Dollar Store. I put up post-it notes to designate how to organize things. Thats temporary until we see how things work. Then I'll design some more permanent labels. I also plan to upgrade to some better organizers but for now, this seems to be working!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Tomorrow we are expected to get another 6 inches of snow, and I cant help but day dream about a beach vacation, gardening in my backyard and simple bright sunlight!&amp;nbsp; Have you ever seen these tiki huts, with the glass floors, over the water? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://cdn.indulgy.com/F8/H5/W3/253257179015134839ciy7swqkc.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://cdn.indulgy.com/F8/H5/W3/253257179015134839ciy7swqkc.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Wouldn't it be just a dream to stay in one of these?! These are most definitely on my bucket list!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;I was recently talking with a friend of mine about these huts, and some how our emails became obsessed with them! When there is that kind of obsession what else can you do about it but make a cupcake!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Behold, a Glass Bottom Tiki Hut Cupcake!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8493953114/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Fiji Hut Cupcake by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Fiji Hut Cupcake" height="500" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8390/8493953114_fc3071f89d.jpg" width="375" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;I made blue sugar glass for the bottom, fondant flowers, and a fondant roof. The only thing not edible on this cupcake are the legs holding up the roof.&amp;nbsp; I tried to make them from fondant, but bamboo skewers worked out better.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;What do you think? Does this cupcake make you want to take a tropical vacation? Am I the only one with spring fever?!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Somehow the whole first month of the year got away from me! January is always a busy month, there is a birthday celebration every week in January, including my own.&lt;br /&gt;
This year I turned 32, and I wanted to have a theme that represented all of the changes that have recently gone on in my life. I also am budget minded. You may recall this fun &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://fairytalefrosting.blogspot.com/2010/08/baby-culvers-jungle-safari.html"&gt;Jungle Baby Shower&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; I did a few years back. I still had much of the decorations in storage so I thought, why not go with a Safari theme?&lt;br /&gt;
However, plain old safari is not my style. Recently a friend said to me "You're so easy to please! Give you some wine, glitter and twinkle lights and you're set!" Ha! Its so true! With that quote in mind I came up with the Sparkle Safari!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8487829810/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Safari Table by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Safari Table" height="500" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8246/8487829810_1706571599.jpg" width="375" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8486739943/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Safari Table Detail by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Safari Table Detail" height="500" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8229/8486739943_e48361d4f5.jpg" width="375" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8486740155/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Safari Glitter Animal 3 by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Safari Glitter Animal 3" height="500" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8366/8486740155_139ed7a18e.jpg" width="375" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Of course I had to get in on the glittered animal trend! &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8487829916/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Safari Sparkle Glass by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Safari Sparkle Glass" height="500" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8373/8487829916_1427f9a8c1.jpg" width="375" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
I picked up some fun animal drink charms and rimmed all of the glasses in edible glitter! &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8486740115/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Safari Glitter Champagne Bottle by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Safari Glitter Champagne Bottle" height="500" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8379/8486740115_d740af9720.jpg" width="375" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
I had to have my signature glitter champagne bottle&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
The classic rosette cake has become my birthday signature too! This was lemon cake with champagne buttercream. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8486739831/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Safari Under the Tree by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Safari Under the Tree" height="500" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8527/8486739831_75f2ecaa7c.jpg" width="375" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
I made the centerpiece tree with some paper and PVC pipe. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8486739979/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Safari Table by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Safari Table" height="500" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8104/8486739979_607c0e96a6.jpg" width="375" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Thanks for checking out my birthday party!!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Believe it or not, I have not actually watched all of the Star Wars movies. I know, its like some kind of horrible crime against being an American, but its true. However, that didnt stop me from creating some Star Wars cupcakes for a couple celebrating their new bundle of joy! One of my favorite clients planned a Star Wars themed baby shower for her friends who are big enthusiasts of the films and I did the dessert!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;I would say some witty quote from the movie like "May the force be with you new parents" but that doesnt really make sense since I've already admitted my ignorance to the films.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;This morning I received an email tip that another website was using a photo of my work without my permission. This website belonged to a bakery in another state and had some of my work featured without credit to me. This is misleading to clients because it looks as though it is their own work.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;I emailed the website and asked that they remove my photo. I was greeted with a very nasty email from what I presume was the owner. She insulted my intelligence and indicated that it was OK to use the photo because there was a disclaimer about it not being their work.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;I returned to the site where there was, in very small print, a mention that they use photos from other bakers to inspire their clients.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;This, however, did not make amends in my book. (I've still insisted on them removing my work)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;I spend countless hours not to mention my own money making the items I feature on this blog. At this time, I do not have sponsors for my posts so my work is paid for out of my own pocket. Yes, I do have some paying clients and I sell my cupcake toppers on &lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/fairytalefrosting"&gt;Etsy&lt;/a&gt;, but that income does not compensate for all of the dedication I've put into this blog and creative passion of mine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;For some other bakery to use my photo, my creation, and mislead clients into believing its their work (lets face it, what clients really read that fine print...not to mention, there wasn't credit given to me if they had!) they are profiting off of my hard work.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;This is not acceptable.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;I hope that you visit my blog, &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/FairytaleFrost"&gt;Twitter &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/fairytalefrosting"&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt; page and find inspiration. Maybe even &lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/fairytalefrosting"&gt;order &lt;/a&gt;some items from me too! However, if you are inspired, &lt;i&gt;create your own work&lt;/i&gt;, your own version of it.&amp;nbsp; Do not steal my content and my photos that I painstakingly take the time to create.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;With that said, I love my readers, I hope you enjoy my content. If you would like to feature my work on your own blog or website, I will consider it on a case by case basis and &lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;only&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt; if proper credit is given. Please contact me at fairytalefrosting at gmail dot com &lt;i&gt;before &lt;/i&gt;posting on your site. &lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;(the email address is spelled out to reduce spammers)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I hope everyone had a safe and happy new year's eve celebration! I had an early celebration with some friends and then a relaxing night at home with my pups.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;This holiday season has been very busy with lots of hard change in my personal life. Every year my office coworkers and I exchange small Christmas gifts, but I wasn't able to participate this year, so I decided to make them some New Year's Eve Party Kits!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8335391910/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="NYE Party Pack by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="NYE Party Pack" height="232" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8355/8335391910_5c458c8903_n.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8334338039/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="NYE Party Pack by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="NYE Party Pack" height="320" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8212/8334338039_aeba923e25_n.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Each kit included some confetti, tic tac mints, candy, party hats, noise makers and photo props. I utilized some free printables from around the blogosphere to create this. My coworkers loved them!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;I also chose to start the new year off with a new, simple project that I call a Joy Jar. I took a plain jar and added some scrapbooking stickers to it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8334338867/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="NYE Joy Jar by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="NYE Joy Jar" height="320" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8361/8334338867_a6023ed2e1_n.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;It is now placed in my kitchen with a notepad nearby. My goal is to write down happy thoughts and memories throughout the year. Next New Years Eve I will read through each one and remember what a blessed year I have had.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Do you have any new years traditions? How about new year goals?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;This weekend my family came to visit from Wisconsin so we could celebrate the holiday together. My guest room is upstairs and I like to make that space festive too. This year I added a little something to the top of the stairs, a sign for the north pole!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8305640858/" title="North Pole Sign by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="North Pole Sign" height="320" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8361/8305640858_33b4327045_n.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;I had some leftover PVC pipe from a different project that I used to create this. I wrapped the pole in some holiday ribbon I had on hand and I glued an ornament to the top. Using my Cricut I cut the North Pole sign from cardstock.&amp;nbsp; I wrapped the base with some white felt I also had on hand.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Pretty cute hey?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;

I currently have 4 on display in my house. This year I wanted something fun for my front door so I made this Santa wreath. I took an old wreath form I had and wrapped it with red garland that I got for 99 cents at Wal-mart. I used a scrap of black fabric for the belt and some glitter scrapbook paper for the buckle. I also had a pack of glitter ornaments from the Dollar Tree, and added that for an extra sparkly touch.&amp;nbsp; All in all this entire project cost me less than $2 to make about 20 minutes to put it together!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;This year I wanted to make custom ornaments with my dog's paw prints, so I was cruising the blog-o-sphere for a good method. I found this recipe for baking soda ornaments and decided to try it out. This works a lot like salt dough ornaments but the white is a lot brighter.&amp;nbsp; I personally chose to let mine air dry because I didnt want to risk any browning. They took a little over 24 hours to dry.&amp;nbsp; Check them out!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Baking Soda Ornaments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Recipe adapted from &lt;a href="http://fullofgreatideas.blogspot.com/2012/09/christmas-in-september-corn-starch-and.html"&gt;Full of Great Ideas&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Ingredients:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;1 cup Baking Soda&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;1/2 cup Cornstarch&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;3/4 cup Cool Water&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Fine Glitter (Optional) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Directions:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Mix cornstarch and baking soda in a pot. Add water to the mixture and stir into a runny mix.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8286057168/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Baking Soda Ornaments by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Baking Soda Ornaments" height="320" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8358/8286057168_1153332bfd_n.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Turn the stove onto medium heat. Stirring constantly mix until it becomes thick.&amp;nbsp; Once it starts forming a ball its done cooking.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8286057058/" title="Baking Soda Ornaments by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Baking Soda Ornaments" height="320" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8083/8286057058_06c7cf08e0_n.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Turn the ball over into a bowl, cover with a damp paper towel and allow to cool.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Once cooled, knead the dough until smooth. If you would like, at this step, pour in some fine glitter. I did this to add a little extra sparkle to the dough.&amp;nbsp; Knead the glitter until its incorporated into the dough.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8284998241/" title="Baking Soda Ornaments by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Baking Soda Ornaments" height="320" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8064/8284998241_5fb1a9c430_n.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Roll the dough out, use a little extra cornstarch if you need to.&amp;nbsp; Cut with cookie cutters of your choice. Don't forget to make a hole using a straw so you can hang them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Let the ornaments air dry and then decorate as you see fit!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;A little gold spray paint and some glitter made these sparkly keys. They might be my favorite.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;The possibilities are endless! Make some fun ornaments or even turn them into gift tags!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Merry Christmas!&amp;nbsp;

&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;Serves 4&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;1 medium ripe avocado&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;2 Tbsp chopped onion&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;1/2 Tbsp lemon juice&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;1/4 cup sour cream&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;1/2 tsp salt&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Black pepper (to taste)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Directions:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Peel and core avocado, scooping insides into a food processor. Add onion and lemon juice.&amp;nbsp; Puree until smooth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Add sour cream, blue cheese, salt and pepper. Continue to blend until smooth. Season again with salt and pepper to taste. Top with more blue cheese crumbles.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Because of the avocado in this dip, I would not recommend making this until the day of your event. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;I also served this with Town House Sea Salt and Olive Oil Flat Bread Crisps.&amp;nbsp; I highly suggest the same combination!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Enjoy!&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>http://fairytalefrosting.blogspot.com/2012/12/avocado-blue-cheese-dip.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Jessy@FairytaleFrosting)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8923853757954094440.post-5588557084110308597</guid><pubDate>Wed, 05 Dec 2012 23:42:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-12-05T17:42:04.281-06:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Nail Art</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Christmas</category><title>Rudolph Manicure</title><description>&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;I was cruising Pinterest (surprise, I know) and saw this great idea from &lt;a href="http://blanketprint.tumblr.com/post/14638495670/colors-a-taupe-the-space-needle-opi-get-in-the"&gt;Blanket Print Nail&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=8923853757954094440"&gt;s&lt;/a&gt; for some festive nail art.&amp;nbsp; I had to try it myself!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Here are some pics of my dinner table.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;I also tried something different this year, I wrapped my turkey in bacon!
&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairytalefrosting/8224891419/" title="Bacon Wrapped Turkey by fairytalefrosting, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Bacon Wrapped Turkey" height="500" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8208/8224891419_6aacf65236.jpg" width="375" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;It was the most delicious turkey I've ever made! None of it was dry, it was juicy and tender and flavorful. Yum!

My turkey may have turned out, but my pumpkin pie was kind of a disaster. However, I got creative with the crust scraps and made the best of it. It still tasted great!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
