The element of surprise

Scrap booking paper is multifunctional! Woohoo! I wish I would have thought of this sooner. First of all scrap booking supplies can be super cheap if you hit it right. Today's project was a care package for my boyfriend who is in the Air Force. Enough said.

Ta da! (feet not included)

                         Hopefully it gets to its overseas destination in one piece.

Wilton who?

One of the many reason's AC Moore and Michael's Crafts are two of my loves is because of all of the fun things that they have. My mom and I were in the store picking up some odds and ends and on a whim signed up for a Wilton cake decorating class. We bought all of our supplies and were ready for class the following week. Unknowingly I think my sweet tooth may have inevitably been cured within the first class when I learned that buttercream icing has, not one but TWO cups of crisco.

Rule #1) Do NOT eat your mistakes (no, no, no)

Rule #2) It's just cake. Don't take it so seriously.

Rule #3) Over thinking causes mistakes. Go with the flow.

Oh, hello stars on a practice board using tip 18. They are a little messy with peaks and all that junk because the icing was not stiff enough (too much water, oops).

I wish I had gotten a picture of my mom's practice board or even took a glance at it. I was just so enthralled in my own work I forgot she was there. Until next time.

Sweetish,
