Sunday

Yesterday after our stake conference we went to Cameron's parents house to have a birthday dinner for Rob, my sister-in-law's birthday. We kinda forgot to get him something, since we'd been pretty busy with other family activities. So I decided we'd make him a cake, just a small one just for him and his wife. I thought it turned out great what with the time I had to make it. I didn't even have an idea of how I was going to decorate, but I just went for it. I hope he liked it and Happy Birthday again ROB!

... and then on our way home we saw the hill in beaumont/ Yucaipa burning like crazy, it was a pretty scary sight in the dark! But this is the only ok picture we got of it, and it's still going :(

I can rest this week

This is what kept me busy last week! Lots of work, but I was satisfied with the result. thanks to those who wanted a cake from me, thanks for trusting my amateur cakes:)

I was literally up and about all last week, from 6 30 in the morning to 9 pm non-stop. Cameron even ditched me a bunch of times, 'cause all I was doing was baking and making frosting, and decorating.... etc.

Elide's Cake

Very huge cake, Cameron and I think it probably weighted about 75 pounds. Sheesh!

Sewing

For those of you who don't know, I don't sew too much. All I've done is a quilt for Cameron when he went on his mission, which came out really great for my first sewing project ever, and we still use it a whole lot. Ane a few months ago I attempted to make a dress, which didn't turn out and I told myself that that would be my last sewing experience ever!

I was looking through a bunch of stuff to throw out or take to the DI, and almost all my purses ended up in the DI pile which meant that I needed a new purse. I went to JoAnn's yesterday and bought some cute fabric for a purse! So this morning I got up to start my purse. I thought it was going to take a long time, but I finished it pretty quick and it turn out cute for being a not-a-lot-of-experienced-sewer.I'm very pleased with the how it turned out, I even made pockets on the insides toward the top so that when I put my stuff in it won't look saggy.

I got so excited when I looked at the finished product that I fixed a few shirts and some shorts!

It was a successful sewing day for me!!!

Cake Month

We just took a trip to Winco to purchase cake stuff for this month's cakes. Yes.. cakes with an "S" I have 4 cakes to make just for this month. We bought so much cake stuff I had to buy a few totes to store it all in because it sure wouldn't fit in my tiny kitchen. I'm very excited for the business I'm making :) but then again very nervous.

I got new pans too.. YAY!

HARRY POTTER!!!

Harry Potter and the Half- Blood Prince was so great!

I'm a crazy Harry Potter fan. Y'all should go watch it!

( though you could tell they really tried to squeeze in everything from the book, not a lot of details)

Girl's Camp

So this is why I didnt blog last week! I had a hard but fun week at girls camp. Very spiritual time up in Angelus Oaks. Lots of bears and stubborn girls. Great talks. Good food. Enough walking to balance out all the food I ate. Crazy girls.
