Confectionery Savage

I finally broke into my November Red Velvet Art Kit this weekend. I added a few other Love Elsie things to the mix. This is one of my favorite layouts right now. I did it as a lift challenge from our myspace group and as a challenge for EBB. Check out the challenge here.

Since I haven't figured out how to journal on the page yet, I'll explain. This is my friend Lisa eating cake at our graduation party in May. Jenna dared Lisa to eat the whole frosting flower off the cake. She told her she'd be a savage if she did. Lisa did and it was caught on memory card. I adore the photos and the saturated colors.


Friday was my first time to bake cupcakes. How did I get to be 23 without ever having made cupcakes? Either my mom or Jenna always made them. But one of my things that I want to do before 24 is to learn to cook. Baking is close to that so I thought I'd start off easy. I had a lot of fun with it.


I brought the outcome to Kristi's Friday night shindig. Dan & Bob played XBox 360 while Kristi, Krista, and I scrapped. The cupcake that has pink and blue was supposed to be a yin yang sign but I messed up and it became spumoni or something...


Kristi and her purple light saber. May the force be with her on Tuesday! :)



Saturday was a low key day. Hung out with Kelly and organized my scrap stuff a bit. Sunday Dan took me to lunch at Jeffrey's Hamburgers in San Mateo. I heart diners! Can't go wrong with my favorite grilled cheese sandwich.
Jenna called me when I returned to work. Banana Hammock's life had run its course and it was a long one. Dwarf hamster's life expectancy is 2 years maximum and he was much older. He will be missed. I don't have many photos of him because he was always moving so quickly but I plan to make a page just for him.

Its almost time to leave

Here is my first pair of shoes that I altered. Its really just 5 different colored sharpies, but here they are!


Dan and I went out to dinner at Chili's on Monday night and had so much fun ! We haven't been there in a while and we really like going to different places . Our waitress had so much pep it surprised us. I ordered a strawberry lemonade and with much enthusiasm she said "Awesome!" I thought I had just told her she'd won an award.

Yesterday I played an amazing game of scrabble with my grandma. The exciting part was that I used up ALL of my tiles before she did!


Then I got to see the new location of My Daughter's Wish . I'd like to think of it as an adventure but Dan just calls it getting lost. I get amused because that is just the way I learn ! I know I've been getting a lot of stuff lately. I have to say its a combination of my birthday and the fact that I'm gearing up for a big project I'm working on this weekend. Plus the holidays are coming up and I figure I can make some little pretties!


The store was a lot bigger and had more light. I love going there because the people are so incredibly nice and helpful! They have some amazing classes! I wish I lived closer.

I'm packing and preparing for this weekend so I've been incredibly bust organizing. My most favorite thing to do! Give me an organizer and I'm happy. On a totally random note, here is a picture of my albino dwarf hamster Banana Hammock.


Happy 3rd Birthday Elizabeth! I got to see her for a n hour today while I gave her a present.


Josiah started teething while I was visiting. I thought these pictures were too cute not to share.


I did find out that there won't be an internet connection where I am staying so I'll just have to post about the weekend when I return on Sunday.

In advance, I'd like to wish a Happy Birthday to several important people who are celebrating this weekend. Happy Birthday to my Aunt Sandra, Zena, Ryan, Misty, and Kelly! Hope your day is fabulous!
