Here’s the cake I made for Independence Day.  It didn’t turn out quite like I was hoping it would …

I guess it isn’t really a true cake wreck since I did manage to spell USA correctly.  And I’m not a professional by any stretch of the imagination.
My cupcakes turned out much better.  Don’t you just [...]

I found a brand new pattern holder at the thrift store for 50 cents.  Since I forgot to take a Before picture, I will just have to describe it to you.  I hope it doesn’t tax my powers of description to do so.  It was a beige piece of metal about 8 1/2 x 11.  [...]

Zebra.

I picked a photo for the art show at our county fair.

I was personally concerned about the subject matter, but everyone I asked thought it was the best of all the pictures I had to choose from.  I guess the judges didn’t mind because I won 2nd place overall.  And 20 bucks.  Woohoo.  The judge’s [...]

A few years ago, I was looking to paint my house so I went and got some paint chips at Home Depot.  They had these awesome Walt Disney paint chips.  It was several months before I figured out what to do with them (oh yes, I picked them up because I knew I would be [...]

As promised, I am bringing you a tacky find from the grandma estate sale last week.  I didn’t pick up this creamer when I went to the sale.  But when I told my mother about the sale, she had to go check it out and I asked her to pick up the creamer if no [...]
