I finished them, I have my first DIY done. I really liked how they turned out. I will be so happy to see them on the top of my cake, whatever that may be..LOL.

Oh and I bought two more but they're the bigger ones. Maybe I'll use them on one of the extra display tables or something, I couldn't pass them up they were on clearance at Michael's for like $2.

I spend the day with my mom and we met with some linen peeps....more about that later!

After lunch we stopped in Michael's, now it was just to look. I have a few ideas of DIY items but I really wanted to JUST LOOK. I passed by an end cap and starring right there back at me were the cutest ceramic birds. I just had to have them and best of all they were only $1.99 ea.

Now they came in white only and they have these holes on the side, the white is paintable but the holes I'm just not sold on yet. I plan to pain them red then re-bake them and see how the holes look then. If anything else I can fill them with something later if I choose too.

So, what am I going to use these for you ask....the cake topper. I wanted something different, no letters, no flowers....the feathered birds were too whimsical for my taste, these fit the bill perfectly.

Here they are in all their glory (unpainted of course).
