Welcome to the Homemaking Party! We've had such beautiful weather the past few days that the kids and I decided to take a walk around the neighborhood. Here we are with Lake Avalon in the background. Our own little Avalon (pink hat, blue pants) thought that was pretty neat!
My husband, Jamie, has been practicing with some neat cake decorating techniques. These are gum paste flowers that he formed using cutters, presses, and other neat tools. He made us a heart-shaped cake this past weekend and was going to toss these. Of course, I said NO WAY and snatched them up for my pinks and greens shelf!
My mom sent me this gorgeous sugar bowl for a Valentine's Day gift. I absolutely love it...and look how well it goes with the other things I'm collecting...
