more picmonkey fun :)

i have been enjoying getting to play around with the different effects and features in picmonkey the last few days while laying low at home with my sick hubby.

here are a few i came up with! :)

getting the creativity back...

or at least trying to!
been way too long since i've made anything... and i feel like part of me has been missing!
playing around with picmonkey tonight, i made these! i've been really interested in trying to make some printables, and had fun playing around with different features this site had to offer!

and hopefully there's more where this came from... :)

a few more :)

birthday wall of love!

my sweet wonderful amazing hubby had a birthday this week! to celebrate, i started working on another birthday surprise a couple months ago (you may remember his surprise party last year HERE) i found a great idea last year while reading a blog i enjoy (click HERE to see the post) and knew i wanted to do it for ben. i didn't know at the time that we'd be living in the bahamas far from family and friends, and that it would be the perfect way to surprise my birthday boy! i started emailing everyone asking for a "birthday picture for ben" to be sent to me so that i could print them out and hang them on the wall. i ended up getting 23 pictures back and was able to cover the wall in a fun birthday message for my hubby! i waited to hang them up til he left for work, and when he walked in on our lunch break, that's the first thing he saw! i loved watching his reaction as he looked at each one :) thanks to everyone who made it happen! it was a great way to include you on ben's special day!! here are just a couple of the many fun birthday shots i was sent..

and here's the wall with all the shots!

happy birthday babe, i sure do love you!! <3

peachy pops!

so recently i decided that i want to really try to make a little business selling the cakepops and crafty things that i make. after lots of helpful suggestions, i finally came up with the business name.

PEACHY POPS -- cakepops and designs that pop with color and creativity :)

i am going to be starting a new etsy shop and a new blog to show what i've been up to and what you can buy, but for now here are a few pictures of my recent creations...
