Pokemon Birthday Cake {Yellow Layer Cake With Chocolate Buttercream}
It was the little guy’s birthday last week. His 6th, to be precise (ohh, I still haven’t gotten used to saying that!).

JOY Letters & Baubles Picture Frame Wreath
It took a long time for me to come up with this blog title. Do I call it a wreath, a wall hanging or a Christmas frame? You get the idea, don’t you? I simply removed the print and glass from a framed artwork and transformed it into a little Christmas display. It can be…
