Clean and fresh

I have one section of the kitchen cupboards done.   I love how nice and crisp they look.  My before picture didn't turn out great at all but here is a after picture of the top section I have done as well as one the shows the bottom cupboards so you can see what they looked like before. 

 I think I am hanging up my paint brush until after Christmas now, so will finish it off then and start planning a new counter :)

Big Project

I must admit my timing on my latest project is purely bad.   I have a cupcake workshop to start preparing for, Christmas baking to start, a cake order or two to work on and of course a ton of Christmas presents to wrap.  Plus I am dying to get some scrapbooking done.  

So of all the items above, what do I start doing this weekend......remodeling my kitchen.   Am I crazy????   We have lived in this house for 5 years and I have always hated the kitchen, so on Friday I decided enough was enough and I bought myself some paint, new knobs and hinges and started to work away.  While it's now Sunday and I am only a 1/4 of a way through painting the cupboards.  So far loving the way it looks but can't stand to look at how much work is still ahead of me.  Once the painting is done I want to do the counters and a backsplash and hopefully have a kitchen I can finally stand looking at....he-he.

I will take some pictures as I go and post my new kitchen :)

How did you do?

Did you manage to get into the Close to my Heart sale today?  If not don’t worry, you still have time but items are going fast!

I logged in right at 11:00am to take advantage of these great deals.  It was a very slow process with the overload of people on the system but I was lucky enough to get all but 2 of the items that were on my wish list. 

Now I have to sit and wait a couple of weeks for that man in brown that I love so much to bring me my goodies.

Igloo Cake

I have been having cake decorating withdrawels, so last night I decided to pull out everything and created this Igloo cake.   It was a lot of fun to make.  This was my first time making fondant trees, your hands could get pretty sore if you had a lot of them to make, but they are pretty easy.
