The Pink Monogram and Giveaway

Yippee! I LOVE when I stumble across an amazing web-site/shop and I can introduce you to a new favorite! I am obsessed with anything personalized, so naturally I fell head over heals for The Pink Monogram!!! I monogram everything... lampshades, shower curtains, diaper covers, jewelry, towels, lunch bags, basically everything!!! This shop has fabulous personalized gear for all of us monogram lovers! Several of their fun items have even made it to Oprah's favorite things and showcased in The Oprah Magazine.

I am addicted to my iphone, so I had to have one of these personalized Clairebella cases. {If you are not an iphone person, the cases can be ordered to fit any of these models... iPhone 3G/3GS, iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4G, Blackberry Bold 9700 & Blackberry Curve 8520.} There were tons of cute patterns and styles to choose from and even a build our own option. (I chose the pattern in the picture below.) The Pink Monogram made it really easy to order online and I was impressed how quickly it arrived. The plastic is very durable and it was a breeze to snap on. My favorite part is that the monogram is not a sticker!! It is heat printed, so it will not rub off. I have gotten so many compliments and I am giddy with excitement to show it off! I think these cases are the perfect way to protect and personalize your phone!!!

Bird Nest Cupcakes

Spring is in the air and teachers are on the count down to spring break!!!! I decided to surprise the teachers with a little treat to wish them a "sweet" vacation. Of course I immediately thought of cupcakes and when I saw the edible grass at Target I knew exactly what I was going to bake.....

Bird Nest Cupcakes!!!

All you need is a couple packages of edible grass and some Robin Egg candy!! Wrap the edible grass around your finger to make the nest, push it into the icing, and add in a couple candy eggs. Voila... A Bird Nest Cupcake!

The teachers were thrilled and the kids were SUPER excited to see the unique designs come rolling around to their classroom. (This was my first time styling a desert table on wheels.) I cut the roses from our garden this morning and felt so proud!!! The bright pink flowers dressed up the rolling cart of treats and coordinated with our table cloth perfectly! :)

It was a fun day dressed in my apron and bunny ears delivering treats. Thanks Hannah for joining forces and "hopping" along with me!!!
