Bridal Shower

Whether it's a bridal shower or a baby shower, showers are so fun, especially when you get to host one! I love everything about it. I love making the invitations, making decorations, cooking yummy treats, and just putting it all together. Congrats Lisa!

Ever since my friend Andrea helped me realize the difference between good and bad fonts, I have become obsessed with fonts and I like to use different ones whenever I can. You'd be surprised how many people use ugly fonts, I can't stand it! I don't know if she helped me or cursed me because now I notice all of the horrible fonts out there! Thanks Andrea!:)

I came back to Salt Lake to give Lisa her shower. It was fun to be back even though it was only for a day!

Party favors

Thanks to Pinterest, I found an idea for her gift.

Hello Kitty cake pops

My little sister loves Hello Kitty and the one request she had for her birthday was for me to make her some cake pops. Out of all of the cake pops I have ever made, I think these are my most favorite! I was actually surprised at how good they turned out.

The edible marker kinda smears...so just ignore that!:)

I wish I could say that I came up with this idea myself, but I found these cute pops on Bakerella.

Easter cupcake pops

Cupcake pops are so fun to make but I don't make them very often because they aren't the most healthy thing.:) I usually make them for holidays or birthdays so I can give them away. Here are some easter ones that I made:

I also, recently made some Hello Kitty pops for my sisters birthday. I'll post those soon! Hope you all have a great Easter!

Moving

It's official, I'm moving to Vernal, UT in about a month! Rusty was offered a pretty good job there and we decided to take it. I am actually kind of excited to get away from here and start new. I think it will be a good change for us.:) He started his job in January and has been living there during the week. He does come home when he can, but it isn't very often.  Its been tough, so I am happy to move so we can see each other more!

We still have about a year left on our apartment lease and are trying to find someone to take it over. If you are interested or know anyone that would be interested, here is the link on KSL: http://www.ksl.com/index.php?sid=17403849&nid=651&ad=20231 

Farmgate apartments in Herriman. We love it here and are sad to move!

Printable 2012 Calendars

It seems like I am always looking for a printable calendar on the internet. They are really helpful for keeping track of certain schedules, important dates, birthdays, ect. (I literally use them for everything)  As I was searching for one the other day, I came across some really cute ones, and I thought I would share.:)

Lemonade Stand For Sale!

If any of you are interested, I am selling my Lemonade Stand. I'm actually really sad to sell it because it took Rusty and I awhile to make, but we just don't have room for it when we move into our new condo.

The chalkboard is removable if needed.

We are selling it for $250.00 175.00 and are willing to deliver it for a little more. If you would like more information about it, you can email me at lindsiebrooke@gmail.com

Bakers Twine

I have a little obsession with bakers twine! I love it for anything: gift wrapping, cards, scrapbooks, party favors, and I even used it on my wedding invitations!

I eventually want to get EVERY color from divine twine. I only have 3 colors now, but just 9 to go!:) You can buy them from here and they aren't too expensive and last forever! I think it would be so cute to have them all displayed in a craft room.

Here is a random card that I made with the yellow bakers twine.

Next on my list is the Turquoise twine!  I think I will have to get these adorable bags too! They sell them on the same site. Fun stuff!

Happy Heart Day!

I wanted to wish all of you a Happy Valentine's Day! I know it's a pointless holiday but it has always been my favorite!  Rusty is out of town today, which is kinda sad, but we celebrated before he left. I surprised him by cooking him breakfast and taking him to get a pedicure. He would never agree to go with me because it's "too girly", but since it was a surprise,  he couldn't say no. I knew once he was there he'd be in heaven, and I was right! We also went to my favorite restaurant, Texas Roadhouse and then to see the Vow. Such a fun day!

I needed some Valentine decorations, so I made a few things and found a cute printout from here. Super easy and I loved how it turned out!

Rusty gave me a few gifts for Valentines, but this was my favorite. I needed a new tape dispenser for my scrapbooking desk and he bought me one that was shaped like a heel. He thought it would be a funny gift but I actually loved it! I also loved his homemade card!:)

Anyway, since I forgot to take a picture of the gift and card I made Rusty (he has it with him), I found a card that I made awhile ago.

I'm married!

I finally got married in October and it was an amazing day! The weather the day before and day after were in the 70's but on our wedding day, it was 40 degrees and raining/snowing. I was sad but I didn't let it ruin the day. Isn't it supposed to be good luck when rains?

It's hard to tell but we were getting poured on in the pic!

 Picture with my sisters

One of the best parts of the day was the Vintage Car we rented. It was awesome to have a chauffeur the entire day! 

 My feet were killing me so he carried my shoes around all day.:)

My family

My new nieces.:) 

The wedding party

5 kids in my family

The sun came out just long enough for us to take some pictures, but the wind came out too!:(  You should have seen my hair after the wind storm! Ha!

We had a photobooth that was a blast!

Rusty made this lemonade stand and I painted it. It would have been so cute out on the grass, but the dang weather that day!:(

The food was amazing! Thanks to my friend Christa! She did such an awesome job with my crazy ideas.:)

I love this picture! Rusty with my grandma.

Our first dance

 The best day ever! I am so happy that I was able to marry Rusty. It's funny how things work out better than we expect.
