My little sister is tying the knot to her longtime boyfriend in a couple of weeks and it’s definitely been a flurry of wedding activities around here! These engagement pictures were taken at Eaton Canyon in Pasadena and what I love most is that it shows their true personalities…always laughing & smiling!

Here’s the winning diorama (“Chilean CoPeepapo Mine Rescue”) and a couple of the funny finalists (“Angry Peeps” & Oscar-winning “The King’s Peep”), but be sure to check out the entire gallery here.

I’m a Blackberry gal myself but even I know how addicting Angry Birds can be! These would make a great birthday treat for a fellow Angry Birds addict. The Crafting Chicks’ blog has all the how-to’s with tons of instructional pictures. I’m guessing the hardest part of the recipe is actually putting the game down long enough to whip these up!
