what a day!

So you know those days where once you finish something and you have a great sense of accomplishment and you feel like you are on top of things and then you are handed/remember you have a million other things to do...that was my day on Thursday AND Friday!


Noon on Thursday looked like this 

the end of one very hectic day on Thursday


My to do piles for Friday

The to do list...almost a whole page! 

The end of the day Friday....mostly done

It was nice having all my piles turn into piles to file because they were done! 
All of this does not include answering the phone, sorting the mail, invoicing customers, responding to emails, doing at least 3 different projects for my boss, and doing anything else my boss deems as "urgent".  Oh, and did I mention, my coworker was gone Friday so I had to do all my stuff as well as all her stuff...

Thank goodness for weekends where I relax.  My Saturday consisted of spending an hour cleaning the church, an hour of yoga, several hours of video games (no Ryan was not playing with me, I was playing all by myself), reading blogs for a few hours, surfing the Internet for a few hours, and now blogging.  So very unproductive but some much needed relaxation.

I think I am getting better....

So I was looking at all the cakes I have made during and since my cake deocrating class and I think I am getting better! 

Here are some of my cakes....I can't wait to make more and keep getting better!


One of my first cakes - Summer Semester 2010 (white cake)  



 in class - Summer 2010



This was just a fun cake so see how to use rice paper to print pictures and color them and have the whole cake be edible....Cinderella is orange because I had no other color to use hahaha - Summer 2010 (chocolate)


Summer Semester 2010 (cherry chip)



Last cake in cake decorating - Summer Semester 2010 (white cake)


My wedding cake!  - November 20, 2010


Meriah's birthday cake - March 3, 2011 (white cake)



Kate's birthday cake - April 21, 2011 (white cake)


Ignore the bottom tier in the middle - the cake really settled and the fondant was too thin, I have since learned my lesson (or rather, remembered that lesson from class).


Cake for the UPS guy at work (hey paid me $20!!) May 2011  ( almond poppy seed)


A wedding cake for the first person other than me! July 2011 (dark chocolate)
