Addi's Third Birthday

Our granddaughter, Addisen, turned three years old on Saturday. I had the honor of making her a birthday cake. I was suggesting all kinds of cakes to her for weeks! Barbie, ladybugs, Patchy-Patch(from Toopy and Bino) etc. she never seemed to have much of an opinion except she kept saying she wanted a bike. She was here the other day so she helped me bake the cakes. I have fun baking with her and she loves licking the bowl. So this is her cake.

I love these little paintings because I can just scan them.... I don't have to set up the camera to take photos of it.

Jack's Birthday Party

Our grandson, Jack had his first birthday party! I made his cake, a block that spelled his name and his blue monkey, that he loves. The monkey is made of Rice Krispie treats and the block is chocolate!! Nice and messy! He did a good job of demolishing it.

 

Happy birthday to ME!

A Rainy Day at the Cabin

I love spending time at the lake, especially with my grandchildren.  Addie and I got creative, and ate some licorice and had a sleepover.  She slept in the castle.

The next night was quiet so I got out my paints and did a couple tiny little paintings.  Each one is only 2.75 inches square.  They are for sale on my Etsy site, or if you are local you can contact me.

My Beautiful Niece got Married

Kam and Nicole got married at Panorama waaay up on the mountain.  It was a hot, gorgeous day!!  There were so many beautiful parts of this wedding.  Nicole wore my mothers's (her grandmother's) bolero jacket that mom wore on her wedding day.  She wore it for the ceremony and it looked beautiful with her dress.  Kam and Nicole are adventure seekers, and met at Panorama!!

I was honored to do their wedding cake.  It was a three tiered carrot, chocolate, and white cake, with cream cheese icing, finished with rolled fondant ombre ruffles.  (like water, Nicole said)  She made her cake topper, they were engaged in a canoe, and my brother perfected the spectacular slab of wood the cake sat on.

Wynonna at Harvest To Home

This is a window painting I did for the CPCAs (Aug 22 - 26).
Unfortunately, Wynonna will not be here for the Chuckwagon Cabaret. Her new husband was in a bad motorcycle crash. But she did put in an appearance at Harvest to Home.
