Happy Birthday To Me!!

Tomorrow is my 24th birthday! I haven't been this excited since...well since my last birthday.
Last year was a great birthday. My boss gave me the day off. Sephora held a private, VIP event for me. Okay, it wasn't just for me. But that sounded good right??? They did hold a VIP night on the night that just happened to be my birthday. My mom and I went to the mall and shopped like crazy. After spending all my birthday money we got in line at Sephora for the VIP event. The first 75 people in line that RSVP'ed got a gift bag with free samples and a $25 gift card. It was GREAT! The gift bag was actually a really cute black tote with silver sequins on the handles. I carry it all the time. They also had hor d'oeuvres and champagne.

This year for my birthday Sephora is holding another VIP event. Its not quite as good as last years. It is in the morning before the mall opens and there are no gift cards. But it still might be a fun event. And its on my birthday!
I'm also very excited for this birthday, because Ty and I will both be home all weekend. October was a crazy month for us with all of my travelling and his million tests. But this weekend will be about relaxation and my birthday! (I'm sure he will still study all day Saturday.) Although this might be my first birthday without seeing my parents. :( I guess I have to grow up sometime!

I've always wanted a topsy turvy cake. I think they are so FUN! I love cakes. I am making my own b-day cake this year. I bought some really cute fall cupcake cups and I want to use them. What better excuse than to use them for my b-day? I called my nanny for her buttercream icing recipe. She makes the best cakes. I hope my cupcakes are yummy!

I love the flowers on the top of this cake.

I realize this isn't a birthday cake, but isn't it fun!?!


I just love these topsy turvy cakes!

This one is so pretty!

This is the cake I had made for my sister's bridal shower. I just love the bow.
