Cupcakes and Cakeballs

I recently attended a cooking school class with my mom and two of our good friends. We had a blast. Even though cakeballs are too sweet for my tastes, the cupcakes were delicious. Here are the cupcakes that we made. Mallie and I made the carrot cake cupcakes, and my mom and Melissa made the double chocolate cupcakes. We also had caramel apple cupcakes which the other girl that joined us in our class made. Those were the yummiest. I also tried my hand at digital scrapbooking this weekend. What fun!!

Progress

So we've made a little progress this week. We have the bathroom tile down and grouted. I painted the walls a nice color called Buxton Blue, from Benjamin Moore, and I have started cutting and putting up the base boards, and wainscoting. I love progress!!!!

Here is the tile. Beautiful! Well worth the work.Here is the beaded board and the paint color. I got a few pieces in before bed.

I will show overall shots of the room when it is done!

Where I've Been

Okay so I have not been blogging for a while, and here is my reason why.

My lovely house. The house has a lot of additions, but the bathrooms were so out of date. So this is the bathroom before. That is not before I started removing the yucky wall paper. Not only did it have wallpaper, but it had nasty carpet. So we gutted it. Out with everything. We got rid of the sink and toilet, but moved the tub to the bedroom for the time being.
Now to the part that has been taking so long, the tile. Love it! Hate the process. This picture is of the hallway, we are tiling it as well. So it is taking longer than i would have hoped, but a few more days and I will be able to get the wainscoting, trim, and paint on the walls. I promise to keep you as up-to-date as possible.
