What I did last week

Been busy, haven't had much time to finish many pending projects.
I turned this tool box in to a planter


Didn't want to paint the thing, I thought of covering it with lace

Which was very hard


Then painted  the top and front over the lace with white paint


Added some embellishments


Added some pink geraniums (I really wanted pink violets but couldn't find them) and voila!  This made a nice present for our son's godmother.


Last week was our son's 9th birthday, he wanted me to make him a snoopy birthday cake.


Please tell me he looks like snoopy or I'll cry


Richie said he doesn't look like "the snoopy from the computer" but he was still happy with it.


There was cake for the kids (strawberry) and cake for the adults (apple)


My husband cooked tacos and salsa, the kids had pizza and ice cream.  It was an exhausting day but we had a lot of fun.

what have you been doing lately?
