a whirlwind of celebrations...

Good Monday to everyone...

I do hope you all enjoyed celebrating Thanksgiving!

I had a house full of family and good food...

and aside from wishing the air outside would've been a little bit crisp/cool...I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day - seriously.

I'm still going through photos of the dessert table I want to share with you...but for now, here's at least one...

crumb-topped mini apple pies

While many of you were taking advantage of Black Friday, my house/mindset quickly transitioned into Ella's 2nd birthday preparations to follow on Saturday.

And of course...I'm still going through photos from that as well so here's one to hold you over:

Sweet Ella, about to devour her very first cake ball pop...

The entire month of November was loaded with celebration after celebration...all of which I STILL haven't been able to share here.

So here's the scoop on the delay...

I submitted both of the baby showers to Amy Atlas Events and I've received word back that...

she would like to feature BOTH showers!

WOW!!!

I'm so excited and thrilled and ecstatic.

As much as I'm getting impatient with having to wait to share the photos with you...

it's SO worth the wait to be recognized by Amy.

She's been such an inspiration to so many...

So there you go.

You finally know what the hold up has been.

I hope to be able to post photos soon...

but at least you know I'm anxiously waiting just as much as you are!

Happy Monday everyone!

Hugs to you all!

Now...

I'm off to get caught up on orders and design work.

Did you know the winner of the Cupcake Delights giveaway was announced on Friday?

Was it you?

Go HERE to find out who the lucky winner was!!

KEEPING IT REAL

I am SO looking forward to the month of December...

I will thoroughly be enjoying the "downtime" compared to the whirlwind of celebrations in November!

And...

As lovely as everything turned out with Thanksgiving and Ella's birthday party...

I'm officially stating that I will never host two events within the same week...ever...again! (peeling myself up off the floor from complete exhaustion...but all with a great big smile of satisfaction).
