cakes this week yay!

so this week, i will be embarking on the journey of making some halloween cakes. thanks to amanda for giving me the cake pans last winter, i have a skull pan. i am using it to make these spooky cakes. they will be laying on a bed of "dirt" (aka: chocolate cake crumbs) with skeletal remains creeping out of it (candy bones) the skulls themselves will have some discoloration from being in the ground and sitting for so long.. there will also bee bits of grass creeping out of the eyeball sockets and nose... the teeth will be discolored as well. if i can do it, i will make or find a bullet. this bullet will be in the center of the forehead so that it looks like the victim was shot at point blank range with the bullet getting lodged in the bone of the forehead. Now, I will be sure to post a pic of them. I think it will be really fun. No, I don't always go this spooky with my cakes, but I decided I would try it and see how it comes out! Hope all is well. I am tired. I am going to bed! :)

The importance of connections

 Many times, we don't take the opportunity in life to think about connections. Much like the way legos connect to erect the building or vehicle you are trying to create, without connecting pieces, our lives would fall apart. It's not often that we take time to reflect on those connections in meaningful ways. If I am honest, when we moved from Indiana back to Florida, we didn't appreciate the connections we had and so as I look back I wonder what life would have been like if we'd not only appreciated those connections, but supported them in meaningful ways.  Since moving to Greenville, not only have we made connections, but we've made it a part of life to connect with those people we've met that have become more like family than friends. We took the time to find a church that really believes in connecting with their people and not in a way that makes the patrons of the church feel like they are just a player in the game of chess and that player's job is to be

Workout #27

So, here's the challenge. And above, you can see my entry. Kenzie had done crosswords or circle a words (I can't remember) with Gigi and I snapped a pic of her doing it. I absolutely love the design of the sketch we were supposed to use for this lo. It allows for a simple, yet stunning layout. It allows room for journaling as you can see that I added as well as plenty of negative space! And the breakdown goes like this, picture was taken from my collection, background paper was from k and company the best of k and company pad, the circles were literally just picked out of my scrap box. I didn't even look at the papers, i just did a random pick. the lettering was taken from an old sheet of alphas i had and I think they worked out great!!! Simple yet Stunning! Thank you Scrap Fit for the challenge.
