In continuing with my unhealthy attraction to Goodwill projects, I'd like to show you some cake plates. (
Click Here for more details) I thought I could wait until I found the perfect pink, green or blue plate...but these were so cheap, I gave it a trial run this weekend. Ridiculously simple, the longest part of this project is the shopping!
I loaded up the stand with cookies (always looks better "in use" right?). I ran back to my room to grab the camera (maybe 3 seconds), and when I came back, Miss Lily had found the goodies. In my mom voice I said, "NO Lily, get down!", worried that she might mess up the "display". ha. She gave a convincing pout. But just look at her eyes, a plan is hatching.
Lily thinking: "Mom, you really like your new camera. And I know you won't put it down to stop me." Sneaky face!
The concentration.
Victory.

Great, cheap and easy idea! You really need to be in contact with a home decor magazine because you have talent! I am sure that you could think up these ideas on your own...you have been doing it long enough. I love the cookie monster...she knows how to talk you into a cookie...she just has to do it while you are taking pictures. (They learn so young.)
i love your commentary, it was so right on with lily's facial expressions! :) too cute!!! and the cake plates are really nice, what a clever idea!
Both of the items in the pictures are so cute!!
this is a great idea. i've also seen a similar idea making a cake stand using a matching cup and plate.
Great pictures and great commentary. It's true, you can just see it in her eyes... she's working up to something great.
When you start your own magazine, I will be the first to subscribe! Or do a monthly email or something, just share your talents with those of us who are untalented! Lily is so funny, I love her facial expressions!
hey! i found your blog through amanda's-- come visit mine! and wow, you take such CUTE pictures of your kids. i love them. and thanks so much for hanging out with us yesterday!
Sigh. You are incredible Tara. I'm so impressed with your finds and only wish I could tag along with you everytime you went...
The pictures! I'm dying. I feel like I'm there with you. I love it. SO glad you got the camera.
Wait, are ducks eggs really blue?!
I am booking your ticket to come decorate my house when it's ready! You are AMAZING!!
Oh yeah, and Lily is sooo cute!!! She looks so big! I think Abby and her would be such good friends right now, they are at a great age!
I LOVE how they turned out. You have to promise to go shopping with me to get the supplies. I love Lily's face, she cracks me up! You are doing such a great job at taking pictures. I can't wait to do a photoshoot in the fall with the kids.
Tara,
Your kids are SO CUTE!! And so grown up from when I last saw pictures. Your photos are really cool -- you are a good photographer! I especially like Lily's facial expressions and the ones of the kids when daddy comes home. Thanks for the blog link!
