Favorite Finds Friday {15}

AH! We made it to Friday. I thought it would never come. So, this week we are going to start incorporating Melissa's favorite finds. We are super excited to have her join us. We here at Whimsically Homemade are a tight group of friends and we enjoy the time we spend together. Being as close as we are, we able to depend on each other, confide in each other, and in this case laugh at each other. I found this shifting through the millions of pins I go through almost daily on Pintrest. It immediately made me think of Emily.

DIY Cake Stand

So, we got some good stuff that's going to be going on within the next couple of months. We'll be promoting some nice giveaways so everyone stayed tuned. Today however, nothing too exciting. Just gonna walk you through how to make your own cake stand.

Granted, this is a poorly crafted cake plate. The plate and the planting pot I used are completely disproportional. But I used what I had. I know that I'm gonna attempt this again a little later down the road when I have something more appropriate. Until then....

Introducing Melissa!

Hey everybody! Megan and I are super excited because we have asked our good friend Melissa to become a regular poster to the blog.(See Melissa's Cheesy Chicken for her first post!) She will be involved in all aspects of the blog now, from postings to favorite finds and facebook.

Melissa is originally from Watertown NY and moved to Savannah in 2010. She has always enjoyed crafts and DIY. She like Megan and I works full time, however she does not work with us (sad face). She works at a haunted house down town, but half her work time is from home where she has a lot of extra time to work on her projects. 

Melissa is really excited to share her ideas with y'all and we are super excited to have her on board.

Favorite Finds Friday {14}

Yay! No Favorite Finds last week? Yeah, that's my bad. Last weekend was my very good friend Teresa's birthday party. I had to put the finishing touches on her cake. (I'll be sharing that later on.)  It took me a lot longer than expected and then I was exhausted so I took a nap then I had to get down the to beach where her party was. Before I knew it, it was Monday and I was still exhausted. I've done two cakes in the last week and those take so much work, they tire me out quick. The weekend before Emily and I worked on a birthday cake for one of our co-workers. He wanted a vanilla on vanilla cake. How boring is that? So me and Emily, being the show offs that we are, were able to find out his favorite candy. We've made cakes before based off of candy. Like the almond joy cake below.
