Sweet little turtle

My daughter loves to help me when it comes to coloring images.
This sweet little turtle just might be her favorite image so far.

I have managed to mess up my blog, UGH!

Please be patient while I try to find what I did wrong.  <3

Pink!

I think I might be stuck in a monochromatic mood.

Christmas pressies...

I love my new SU Owl Punch!

Wow, it's been a long time since I've blogged anything. 

Christmas was great!  Well...except for the part where I have pneumonia!  ACK!

I'll be fine.  Means I have to stay home and clean my craft area....um yeah right!  LOL

Love this Weather!

The weather is so nice lately.  Really cool temps make it for nice open windows and card making.  (for me anyway  HaHa)

Cake time!

Work has kept me very busy lately, but last month I had a request for a cake order for this weekend.  I haven't made a cake in a long time so I was thrilled to say yes!

This was for a friend of mine's little boy's 8th Birthday.

 

When my friend asked me to make this cake I immediately went to google.com and searched for ''fire truck cake'' and came upon this link HERE.

I didn't really like the smooth iced look so I opted for the star tip technique.

 

I wasn't sure how many kids/people would be at the party so we decided to make cupcakes to go with the cake.
 

I put half yellow/ half orange icing in a bag to get the swirl effect.  The toppers are made from candy melts. I printed a couple of flames and traced them onto waxed paper. 

I'm not so sure about this one...

It seems a little ''busy'' to me.

But this one, I love.

I CASED it from one I saw online, not sure where. :(

Using up scraps

Getting ready to ship these off.

I haven't posted in a LONG time...

Work has dominated most of my time, then when I'm not at work I want to spend time with my family...

Well tonight I needed some much needed crafting time...
I have never tried the paper peircing (?) so I'm not so sure about this one.
