{Busy Bee} Frames to Art

"What is art? Are we art? Or is art art?" Gotta love Saved By the Bell...where else would I get such a profound quote? Well...all I know is that I love art and I enjoy creating art! Because I am an art enthusiast, as I did go to school for Art History and have taken my fair share of art classes, it is only obvious that I have a love for beautiful works of art. Therefore, inspired by the paintings of notable artists of the past I have created my own works of art. I have created fun frames by deconstructing reproduced images of noteworthy paintings of the 20th century and putting them together to create a new work of art. Can you guess which artists and paintings are included on the frames?  (Some are definitely easier than others to identify) And can you count the number of times the word, "art", is used in this post?

These frames are fun, funky and fabulous if I say so myself! I love the combination of vibrant colors and different patterns. These are a nice break from the traditional black or brown frames that decorate so many of our homes. Why not add a little fun into our lives and into our homes?

{Sugar Bee} Sweets for Being So Sweet!

Because my parent's have been so great with taking care of my baby while I am at work or if I need to run errands, etc., I thought that Jake and I would give them a little gift to thank them for all that they have done. So Jake and I threw on our aprons and went into the kitchen and whipped up some yummy mint chocolate covered oreos! After the candy making was complete, we threw on some pretty decorations to our treat box and voila! A perfect thank you gift...sweets for being so sweet!

{Busy Bee} Another Awe-Inspiring Read

 Peggy Porschen, British cake artist extroardinaire, has done it again with another incredible cookie and cake decorating book, Simply Spectacular Cakes. This book is the third book to add to my shelf and I have to say she does not disappoint. I am particularly inspired by her cookie recipes and this book contains a few that will knock your socks off...and I will just have to try them out. I especially love her homage to Christian Dior with her 50's inspired little black dress cookie. How perfect would that be for a sweet 16, bridal shower, or a fashionistas birthday party!

If you love this book you will also love her other two books, Beautiful Cakes and Pretty Party Cakes!

{Busy Bee} A Must Have!!!

Bakerella just came out with her much anticipated book, Cake Pops, and I have it! Let me just say that it is FANTASTIC! There are so many instructions for cake pops for any and every occasion. I am so inspired and have no idea which one to try first! So after much debate about which cake pop to try first, I have decided to try the cupake pops and bites because they are just so darn cute and I have a thing for cupcakes. I have a feeling that every party that I design from here on out will just have to have cake pops!

{Sugar Bee} Cookie and Chocolate Heaven

If heaven had a cookie it would probably be a Chocolate Covered Oreo! I am telling you that you will be hooked on these little treats...and like Pringles; "once you pop, you just can't stop"!

I am now selling these delicious cookies that can be custom colored and flavored. Each cookie is covered with chocolate and lightly decorated with a candy coating.

These are wonderful for holidays, birthday parties, gifts, casual get-togethers, or just for a nice mid-day/evening treat!

To view pricing, just go to my "Cookie" page!

{Baby Bee} Frank Sinatra Ain't Got Nothin' on Jake Michael!

When my husband and I attended our birthing class only a few weeks before having Jake, we came across this magazine at the doctor's office called, Baby Talk. On the cover of the magazine was this adorable little boy wearing an awesome fedora! Immediately when I got home I had to look online to find the hat and SCORE, I found the hat! This hat can be found at Saige Nicole's Baby and Toddler Boutique.

 

Now I do not know about you...but I happen to think that my baby could have very well been a part of the Rat Pack, he looks so suave...well or at least he can be a part of "Ocean's 14"!

{Baby Bee} Dapper Duds

Who would not want their baby to look their best? Especially if they could look debonair and be comfortable all at the same time! After being inspired by "tie onesies" (as I refer to them), I wanted to create this look for my baby boy and his his buddy. They turned out adorable! The best part is that I can make them using an array of patterns for any occasion or to coordinate with any theme, outfit or party!

I even went one step further and created a coordinating burp cloth and bib...now he is dressed to impress for a night out on the town!
