Where ya been stranger.....

 Wow has the months really gone by that fast?! I can't believe that the end of February is already approaching! It's almost Easter! I'm sorry I've been in hiatus busy with so many things going on. From the holidays, kids activities, taking care of a house full of sick people including myself...blah, blah, blah.lol This season has been the worst! I don't think it helps that NC weather is so unpredictable for example this past weekend it was 65 degrees then the next day it snows...what?! I'm starting to rethink my "germaphobeness" maybe I should lay low on the disinfectants because it might just be more harmful.lol I was looking over my blog and noticed there were some pictures of cakes I have done and have not been able to post so I wanted to share them with you now. I've also just gotten into the website "Pinterest"... Hellooo why didn't I think of this site before?! This is my portfolio of ideas but via website! It's so much fun because you get to see what your friends are into and share what you like. Fun! I've been posting some pics of my cake creations and it's fun to see who are re-pinning them. This weekend I will have the privilege of making a cake for my Niece Brenna who turns 2....of course in what else but an ELMO theme! I'll make sure to post those too! Till next time!

About Me

I am a mom with three boys (that includes my husband) that keeps me on my toes. I love anything artistic. Back in the day, what I call B.C. "Before children" I was very active in the art community and I had all the time in the world to paint my heart away. Now I have changed my focus on family and express my creativity in small projects.
