the plan:

to throw a sweet little dinner party
for my brother & his wife, who are
expecting their 1st baby…after a good
meal, they’ll cut into a cake to find out
if they are having a boy or a girl……

as a busy working mother, i need a little help…so my mom
was nice enough to bake the secret cake & bring it to the dinner…

tyring to find inspiration for decorating i turned
to one of my favorite magazines DONNA HAY

this was my decorating result…..

and the official baby cakes result-IT’S A GIRL

& i for one cannot wait to meet her

congratulations lauren & jon….xoxo

it is always such an honor when a photograph of mine
graces the cover of a magazine….i just adore this lovely
new magazine REVERIE & am so truly thrilled to be on
the cover of their premiere issue…thank you….xoxoxo
