Shopping finds!

When my husband and I went on our little vacation a couple of weeks ago, I went shopping at several fun stores that we don’t have in Utah.  One of the first stops is always Scrapbooks Etc. but now it is Scrapbooks and fabric!  Twice the fun!  I love to look at all the fun ideas in this shop and it is always at the top of my list of shopping stops!  I could spend a couple of hours in this store just drooling over all the fun products and displays that they have!  I picked out a few pieces of fabric for a new purse that I want to make.And I got this “Smash Book”  ( When I told my husband that I got a “Smash Book”, he looked at me funny and said, “you bought a book about mammograms?”  He thought that he was so funny!)

Cake Stand

There are a lot of cake plates out there in blog land, and I love them!  But I only have so much room in my cupboards to store them, so that is why I love my cake plate!  This is what you need to make this cake stand:  A cute plate and a matching bowl, it is best to have a bowl with a broad bottom. I got these from Tai Pan.

All you have to do to make this cake stand is to place the bowl upside down and place the plate on top of the bowl. Because it has a broad base it is very stable. At this point, if you want to glue the plate together to make it permanent, use a good glue like the e6000 or a good silicone glue.I chose to leave my plate and bowl separate, so I can store them individually and also use them separately if I want to.  But I think they look beautiful together as a cake stand too!
