The world at my finger tips.. January 5, 2010

So graduation has come and gone, everyone around me who has graduated is all stressed, I however am completely calm and thrilled about what is in store for my life.  I have an amazing boyfriend who each and everyday I think, WOW this is amazing and an amazing family.

I currently have a part time job that I cant wait to get to everyday, and along with this comes the oppertunity to fill the rest of my time with the other things that I love, cake decorating, card making, home decor, scrapbooking …… what this means is that in 2010 I will be discovering new ways to make money at the above hobbies.  Any suggestions?  All are welcome, I have a few exciting things to share with you soon but wanted to give an update on life as of now!

A December to Remember December 31, 2009

So I have been so busy since I posted last, mainly Graduating from college and celebrating Christmas with the family!  I also made all the Christmas cards that I sent out, and the thank you notes for the graduation party, I am just starting on the Christmas thank you’s and my graduation scrapbook!  But December was also a month for MANY baked goods!!  I made so many baked goods I could have opened a  bakery out of my house but only a few of them were decorated, and I must say I surprised myself with how they turned out!

I made this cake for Invigo Day Spa for Christmas

I made this cake for an employee at 95.5 The Beat's baby shower for her twin Boys!

So This Is Christmas… December 4, 2009

It is my favorite time of year, seriously the excitement that I feel at Christmas time is just like no other!  I have had so much fun making cards for Christmas during the past few months, but there are still more to make so here are some of what I have so far.

I am also about to embark on some pretty huge tasks, I am going to scrapbook Flip and I since we started dating almost 4 years ago, my nephews lives and my graduation scrapbook.  I am expecially excited about the graduation one because it is going to be black and white and crushed curry.  I also am going to have everyone at the graduation party fill out little cards with a memory of me and some advice for life in the real world and I am going to put those in the scrapbook with pictures of graduation and my party and i have to finishing making my Christmas tree skirt!  I also have two huge but awesome cakes to do this weekend!!

But before all of that can begin Christmas cards MUST get in the mail!!!  The fact that it is the 3rd and I have not mailed them yet is SO out of character for me, seriously lol

Season of Thanks!! October 28, 2009

Here is a home decor piece that I made!  I absolutely love it!!!

A simple thanks! October 8, 2009

Two of the most meaningful words to me are thank you!   I always had to write thank you notes for presents growing up.  Then as I got older I stopped.

Now that I make my own cards I am a thank you card fanatic.  I love making them and sending them, because I get to show off my stuff and it really is so kind and one of the lost arts of today’s busy world.  Here are a few Thank you cards I have made!

Thank you card I made at an ink it up class
