I guess I've done some crafting recently.  Our oldest son got married in September last year and since I was a florist I decided to do the bouquets.  Since we were trying to save some money I volunteered to make the wedding cake also.  Shortly after that I asked myself if I was crazy?!  Thank goodness I live near Lynn's Cake and Candy store which supplies cake decorating and candy making supplies.  I could not have done it without their help!  It took me a total of 13 hours!  I am willing to do it again for my other 2 children but after that, forget it! Lol!

I used white cake mix, I can't remember which brand but I think it ended up being 8 - 10 boxes for all 3 tiers.

The frosting was pre made and purchased from Lynn's Cake and Candy.

My husband helped me a lot by placing each cake in the freezer to set the frosting while I was working on a different cake.

I assembled the cake at the Reception and it turnedout remarkably pretty!

I sometimes miss working in a flower shop but then I remember Valentines Day and I get over it! Lol!

See you next time!

I'm back!

I can't believe its been so long since I've posted!  A lot has changed since my last post!  Unfortunately my dog Lena and my Guinea pig Frankenstein are no longer with us. 😢 I miss them both very much so I have 2 puppy mill rescue dogs that I adopted to keep me company.  One is a chihuahua named Fiona and the other is a dachshund named Gretchen.  They have very different personalities and I can tell they both had very different experiences being puppy mill breeding stock.

As you can see Gretchen loves attention especially from Daddy!  Fiona is very alert, skittish and doesn't like to be cuddled.  She will accept pets and scratches on her terms, poor baby, she seems afraid of most people and is very guarded.








I haven't done a lot of crafting lately but I've been feeling creative with rocks in my yard!  Yeah, I know how weird that sounds, but I saw some guy online balancing rocks in the most unbelievable ways so I had to try it!  It's very difficult but when you get one to balance in an unlikely way it is strangely satisfying, and very artsy which is totally my thing!  So far I'm only able to balance up to four.

There are four rocks balanced here and they stayed for quite some time until it got windy!



Here are a few more pictures of some I balanced.
