Bubble Guppies Cupcakes

Hello all! I have been super busy and it doesn't seem to slow down. I just thought I would pop in a share a little goodie with you.

Today at M's preschool was her Summer birthday party. So many kids in the class have summer birthdays and the teacher's thought it would be nice if they got a chance to celebrate their birthday early with the class. Well today was M's big day and I decided to make Bubble Guppies cupcakes for her, with help from etsy of course!

The Bubble Guppies is a newish show on Nick Jr. that M just LOVES! We watch it all the time and have all the episodes on the DVR. It's a great show that teaches them a lot and has some awesome songs.


I got these great Bubble Guppies images from this fantastic etsy seller nimsyky. Prices are great and they emailed them to me super fast. Check them out here. I used colored party toothpicks and glued the cutouts to them with hot glue. I cut off the pointed ends of the toothpicks to make them safe for kiddos.


Anyway, everyone loved them and I thought they were cute. :) I hope everyone has a great day.

Rooster Mailbox

A couple of weeks ago my older sister commented that she hated her drab mailbox. It was beaten up, faded, and just blah. So, my mom and I decided to make her a new one.

We started our project at Walmart to get a basic mailbox. The color didn't matter because we were going to paint it anyway. We decided on a pretty pastel green paint and got some rooster rub on transfers.

First we painted the mailbox which was quite the task considering the wind we get out here. Then we put on our transfers and numbers. Finally we applied a sealant to make sure none of our decal came off and Ta-da! A new custom mailbox.

Tara really likes it and had her husband put it out right away. They used a cedar post to hold it and it looks great.

I hope everyone is having a great afternoon.
