Just for laughs

I stumbled upon the Cake Wrecks blog yesterday and it had me laughing so hard that tears were running down my face. Cake Wrecks motto is "when professional cakes go horribly, hilariously wrong". It's the funniest thing I've seen in a long time, definitely check it out if you need a good laugh. Here's a taste of what you'll find on their site...

hmm, where should we celebrate?

eww, down where?

Even funnier than the cakes are the author's commentary on them. For this creepy baby doll cake she says:

Don't...make...eye contact...

All tucked in and ready to kill.

In need of a sexy bachelorette party cake?

I wouldn't get this one.

She also features amazing cake designs like this fabulous purse cake, but the mistakes and the disturbing ones take the cake for me...tee hee:)

Poor Patrice, I wonder if she knew her fate before getting her birthday cake...

Check it out here.

Country Girl

I admit it, I'm a country girl at heart. I dream of someday fixing up a cute little farmhouse in the country where the houses aren't 10 feet apart from each other and I can raise little chicks, duckies, bunnies, and whatever else people put on a farm. Of course I would have no idea how to take care of all these critters and I couldn't survive if I lived more than 10 miles from a Target, but I like the idea of it:) So for now, I listen to my country music, take care of my two little yorkie pups, kill everything in my vegetable garden and call that good. Of course I watched the CMA'S last night and they really put on an awesome show with tons of great performances. My favorite was miss Reba who I have a slight obsession with, but that's a whole other story. I was so happy for Taylor Swift who won best album and entertainer of the year. She is such a sweet, talented, and successful girl and she's only 19! I love it when good things happen to good people!

And of course, she looked gorgeous in her simple & elegant dress...

And to make this post somewhat about design, here's how I would translate this classic elegance into an interior:

I have been drooling over this image ever since I saw it at Apartment Therapy a few weeks back. The chandelier is more than gorgeous! That and the small mirrors add the perfect amount of sparkle to this room.

And yes...

...although they weren't excited about it, the boys did dress up for Halloween.
