birthday girl!












i had to post a little birthday wish for my sweet chloe - she turns 12 today! it was so hard putting that extra "good luck" candle on her cake. can't believe my baby is heading into her teens...hugs and kisses sweetheart, we love you!

she picked out a sea shell cake from the bakery downtown, a little two tier number with white chocolate shells and delicious buttercream icing, fit for a mermaid.

speaking of mermaids - i painted these tiles for the kids bathroom shower. it's funny how the mermaids came out looking like me and my sisters, and the merman resembles my husband, a bit younger version. they add a little element of whimsy and fun - everyone comments on the unexpected guests in the shower!
