The Royal Birds

Our second cake decorating class is SO hard. I'm not sure if I'll pass. There is so much homework that I just don't have time for. You'd think I was in college or something. This week I spent equally time prepping for class as the class length itself only to find out that I was NOT prepared. My favorite part about this week was learning how to make these birds out of Royal Icing. I think I could make some pretty cool things by playing around with the Icing a little bit. The flowers that we learned did not look cute and the reason I am sure to fail is that throughout the first 3 weeks we are supposed to be making flowers, tons of them. Which none turned out this week and we missed the first week because Armand didn't get home in time for me to take the car. Then, on our last week we are supposed to bring in all the flowers we have made plus a frosted cake and decorate the cake with the birds and flowers. It's not looking good. I hope they don't mind if I just have 3 blue birds on my cake.

BeforeAfter
I love to recycle by reusing and turning into a craft, so I have been saving this vitamin bottle for months. I can't wait to fill it with some sort of yummy candies and give it to someone who is not feeling well (hopefully nothing serious though). Maybe I'll make a matching card later if I get the kids down for naps and they stay there...yeah right.

Out of This World!


So more than likely after the last 3 or so posts no one will take this site seriously, I made colored this on our road trip to Tillamook today. But, I am going to create something tomorrow! I mean it, I cleaned my scrapbook room on Friday and I want to put it to use and dirty it up. Cross your fingers for me that I will get a few minutes of free time.

HAHA


I don't usually draw and I don't usually make weird art. Today, I was talking to Wes and wishing him a Happy Birthday. When I got off the phone I looked down and saw this body drawn on my Stampin' Up grid paper. It had an old man's head that just didn't look right (as if this DOES look right) and it had a tongue sticking out. Next thing ya know, I was cutting off the head and taping Baby J's head to it. HAHA I'm a dork nothing more to say!
