Cupcakes and photos...

So this morning I had some amazing ladies come over and take some photos of Mia. I'm so so so excited to see them. Mia didn't exactly cooperate the best, BUT she did look pretty cute in some of her gettups. :) I'll be tapping my fingers and toes until I get a peak at the pictures. I SO can't wait.

As a thank you to the WONDERFUL Shandee (www.shandeegoulding.com) for coming to take Mia's photos, I made a cupcake bouquet. It was my first attempt and I did learn a few things, but overall I think it turned out pretty darn cute! I'll be making more of these, I'm sure of it!

Happy Birthday friends...

Yesterday was my friend Christine's birthday. Wish I could have baked her a cake. I wouldn't trust mailing a cake. She lives 6.5 hours away, so to deliver it myself would be a little silly. That said, I was thinking of her on her birthday.

Today, is my former coworker and dear friend Michele's birthday. I did bake her a cake. They usually get cakes for people's birthdays anyways... but I really wanted to bake one. It needed to feed the office and according to Sue (also former coworker) she likes pink. So I did the sides and embellies in pink buttercream, with a touch of purple. I'm proud of it... here it is:



I'm making cupcakes for tomorrow and then I've got 3 cakes for the end of the month. :) Yay.

Today is my last Monday on maternity leave... I'm off to enjoy it.
