Reader Spotlight

Happy Friday! I hope everyone is geared up for a fun-filled weekend. We are actually having a much-needed break from the insane heat we’ve been experiencing, so I am hoping we can spend oodles of time outdoors!

It’s Friday again, which means it’s time to turn the spotlight on one of my amazing readers. The blogger I am going to introduce y’all to today has quickly emerged as one of my new favorites. Her marvelous ideas, her voice (and humor!), and her perfect blog title all keep me hooked week after week.

Meet the immensely talented 
Lara
from 
less cake {more frosting}!

Friends, you know I love to throw a party. But oh my word – Miss Lara makes my shindigs look like child’s play! You must (!) see the details for the Scooby Doo birthday party she just organized for her son. Everything, from start to finish, is absolutely impeccably executed!
Anyone with an immense love of the clearance section at Hobby Lobby is a kindred spirit of mine. Can you believe that this little item she scored at 80% off…

…became this? I know. Marvelous, right?
And her recent redo of her son’s room based on the same surf theme (and with that same gorgeous color scheme) is nothing short of stunning.
So party planning, creative repurposing projects, decorating. What else does Miss Lara have up her sleeve?
She cooks…

She sews!

Please head over to Less Cake today and show Lara some much-deserved love. When you go, I’d make plans to add a new blog to your reader!
Lara, please feel free to grab a featured button if you’d like!
