Personal Spiel: I love awesome costumes part I

I love awesome costumes. I've seen some out there. I'll post when I see them. This one I saw browsing through Craftzine.com's blog. Check out the whole article for more info: http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2009/10/princess_peacock_costume.html

Happy Halloween!!

I can't believe how fast this year has gone and I've been so dormant. Hopefully soon I have time to blog what has happened. I felt my life had been turned upside down for a moment. *SIGH*

But I saw the absolutely cutest thing in the 'whole wide worldz' (<---inside joke, that phrase from one of my friends once and can't resist to repeat it). Anyways, just as much as I've been neglecting blogging I've skipped a lot of reading blogs. I wanted to see what Bakerella has cooking for Halloween because on top of making costumes I want to bake cupcakes. Because... I don't have enough to do.

Anyways I went back a few post after reading her Halloween treat instructions and saw the cutest proposal story EVER. Ok, not ever, but pretty close. I love big, grandeur proposal and this takes the cake. Literally.

Read the proposal here then the whole story and results here. And here's the snippet:

You could give these cake pops for:

An engagement party
A wedding shower
Wedding favors
You could even propose with them
Imagine how cute they would be with some sweet little tags.

Okay, forget imagining… let me just show you.

All images and quotes from here.

I literally had tears. I'm impress he really does know his gal. Bakerella you're a genius as always!

Have a HAPPY and SAFE Halloween and weekend folks!

Vacation 2009: Road Trip

Haloo!!!! We've recently took a road trip to Las Vegas and Disneyland. I haven't gone to Disneyland since Mr. Mad and I got together. We totally took advantage of the "Just Married" and "Birthday" button. We wore it all day. It was so cool. We got greetings everywhere we went.

I wanted to share a few photos we got from our Disney's Photopass. It's a great new service they have there. The images are expensive but at least if you want good photos of your group without asking strangers to hold your camera now you can. There are these photographers that scope the common areas family want group photos of. You give them your Photopass, they take the photos, then scan your card. You sign on their website and there are all your images. It's so cool. As you can tell I haven't gone in a really long time.

Enjoy!
