wild cupcakes

i know everyone has posted about this kid already but for the few who have still not seen it... tada! SO DANG CUTE!! the perfect little max.




also found these cupcakes. if i had these i don't think i could bear to eat them!

Wild Things

T-5 days until Where the Wild Things Are movie comes out and I cannot wait!

The Morgan Library Museum currently has an exhibit up with Maurice Sendak's original drawings and they are so amazing to see. He makes little notes to himself as he is writing out ideas so it is cool to see how the final product came to be and what the alternate versions were like (example a different idea for the cover).



I also stumbled across this website via twig & thistle where a variety of artists create works inspired by Sendak. there are so many great ones but these are two of my favorites.





all these images are getting me pumped even more for the movie!

diaper cake #2

for our dear friend jessica we got back together to put combine our creative forces :)







since jessica is expecting a baby boy we thought this cake topper would make a good friend for him and keep him company while growing up.

we love the polka dot ribbon and festive feel of this cake!

awesomeness

i've got to say that i am a huge fan of dallas clayton.



his first and only book an awesome book, which he produced and sold on his own, was a huge success and now he is touring the country reading to kids and giving away a book for every book sold.
the first time i read it online i had to go back and read it again..and then again... and then i had to purchase one for my niece when really i should have purchased one for myself too.

in my opinion it is up there with the lorax, the hungry caterpillar, the little prince, and where the wild things are.. some of my all time favorites!

i love the page "and not a million quiet dreams a million dreams that roar"
what a good reminder :)

please go read and dream a roaring dream!

sail away...

found this image on an old post from a cup of jo

i had been thinking about getting a tattoo for awhile now but have never come across an image i would want on my body for the rest of my life. when i saw this i thought it would be quite nice, smaller and on my back...

i love to travel. i love water. i love the idea of sailing away on a little ship...

yea or nay?

gift box

my friend melissa's beautiful wedding invitations! i feel so privileged to have received one because it really seemed like i was opening a present! i can see she put the utmost care into creating every single piece.

baby shower

i joined a few talented friends early saturday morning to create a diaper cake for our dear pregnant friend carol :)

we chose a sage and chocolate brown color to match the item's on the registry and hyung created a cute little "peas in a pod" illustration as the focal piece.

we completed the look with cellophane wrapping and matching ribbon! it looked so professional and elegant in the end and we were very happy with how it turned out!

if anyone is in need of a diaper cake we are available for hire :P
