Call me (Christine, Pure Joy Events) old school, but I heart Post-It Notes. I use them to jot down notes, set reminders, bookmark pages, and label just about anything. When I came across this picture on Pinterest , I couldn't wait for the opportunity to make an eye-catching backdrop from the world's favorite sticky notes.

Welcome back, friends! Continuing on our journey towards master cake maker and decorating genius - Today is Class 2 and we will go over some Baking Basics . Now that we know what tools to use, let's use them to mix up some quality ingredients to make something delicious.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not the "Valentine Grinch", but I can't help but be a little tired of all the red and pink decorations out there...So this year, I decided to go out on a limb and try a different color palette for my Valentine's Party - Fuchsia, Teal and Yellow. What do you think? :) This party also has lots of home-made elements as I baked, styled and crafted...this theme would be perfect for a low-key wedding or bridal shower too!

Every morning I bring my husband tea in bed. Can't really remember when it started, but that's how we roll.  He loves tea. And love him. So that's probably why... Anyways, this Valentine's I decided to serve a little extra sweetness along with the tea.
