I want cupcakes. Lots of cupcakes.

I want pink cake.

I want cake with ponies on it. Not drawn on, real ponies ON it.

I want chocolate cake

I want cake with ice cream inside

I want princess cake

I want Dora cake

 

This is the order in which Elizabeth has asked for cake for her birthday over the last month. She also wants balloons. What cake I’ll end up getting her… who knows. I home made her (a very ugly!) cake last year… so I’m probably going to cold stone it this year and it’ll be pretty and yummy.

For now I’m going to bed and try to rid of myself of the twitch in my eye. I am having my cake and eating it too (so to speak) around here. Well at the moment to be more accurate my plate feels full of (work related) cake-y goodness… but there’s not enough savoring time right now. All work pushed aside until I figure out the magical details of E’s 3rd birthday- and her first real ‘party’ with people other than family.

The family is #1. Work can wait a few days…

Shopping for myself = complete misery at this point. However shopping for Elizabeth and Rebecca is SOOO MUCH FUN! Today I went out to get a few warmer weather items and longer pants, shirts, etc. for Miss R. I even picked up this bathing suit for her. SO cute and let’s face it- it’s going to look good with summery scrapbook supplies.

Currently I’m on a quest to find something with a little dear on it for the girls to wear (and coordinate) with all that fabulous October Afternoon scrapbook stuff coming out. I’m a mom obsessed. A true member of Mom-arazzi. I know. Well it’s a  beautiful SUNNY day and so I’m off to throw open the windows and enjoy alone time with Rebecca. E and daddy are off at Nana’s house playing so that I can get some major work, laundry, and unpacking done.

TGIF everyone!!!

First of all- I love my girls toes. I do NOT love baby toes in general so much. Mostly just my girls. It’s been far to cold to see them- so having a 70 degree day to play outside barefoot was awesome. Especially to watch fat, wiggly, baby toes. (sigh)

 

Secondly, I made the girls wear these outfits for a photo shoot outside. Why? because they coordinate (thank you osh kosh!) AND they will be so lovely with this new line from Cloud 9. (thanks Amy and Nancy!)

good times, good times.

First of all, let me thank Fiskars for sending these goodies. If they hadn’t sent me my CHA ‘swag’ I would have not realized that it’s Feb. 1.

What I mean is, on February 9th I depart (just for 24hrs) to Anaheim for CHA. I have some demos to do in the MM booth, I have some copies of my book to give out, goodness… I need to have a cute outfit to wear! CHA preparations usually go on for weeks… I have a few days. (gulp) How did I not realize Feb 1 = FEB 1? How did I not notice CHA is sneaking up super fast? Ah well, I can get my stuff together, but since this is going to be an *intense* week… I’m going to sign off. If I bring my laptop I’ll blog from Anaheim… otherwise I’ll be back and running after the show.

Have a great week!
