Cakes and Cupcakes that Will AMAZE You!

One of the things that I've added to my bucket list is to treat myself or someone else with one of those spectacular cakes or cupcake displays for a party. I'm talking about those cakes that make you say WOW! I'm talking about the cakes that you really have a difficult time eating because they are so beautiful. It's also one of those cakes that there is no way in this world that I'm going to attempt to make myself. Below is an example of some that I have on my Pinterest Board.

Project 365 - Week 25

Project 365 - One photo a day for a year. Kind of like a photographic journal of my entire year!

Day 169 - The creepy looking sky. We've had a lot of ugly rainy days the past week.

Day 170 - Bubba was relaxing by the TV. He's at the groomers while I'm typing this post. I hope I can get a picture of him.

Day 171 - My favorite flowers in our garden.

Day 172 - My new way to entertain myself when working out. Audiobooks, my new thing!

Day 173 - Made a case so I don't have to hold my phone while walking or on the elliptical. You'll be seeing a tutorial soon.

Day 174 - Another flower from the garden. I don't know why the tips are curling up?

Day 175 - A nice combination of summer and Christmas in the studio today.

My Walks are Now More Fun!

Sometimes I walk with Brian, but sometimes I walk alone. I'm very committed to my exercise program and my healthy eating. Walking the same roads over and over again can get boring when you don't have anyone to talk to. I've just made it much more fun with my discovery of audiobooks. The first book I downloaded is how to make more sales with Pinterest marketing. Now I can learn while I walk. I have a couple more books that are next in line.

Audiobooks would also be nice to use on the elliptical but since I'm in one place and can actually look at something, I like to watch youtube videos.

Do you exercise? What do you do? Eventually I'm planning on adding some Pilates to my program.

Happy Friday the 13th!

Project 365 - Week 23

Project 365 - One photo a day for a year. Kind of like a photographic journal of my entire year!

Day 155 - Two new rug mug patterns, available at my shops. I was getting so many requests for a mug rug or applique pattern for my cat (in the blog header) so I decided to make some. I couldn't forget about my dog lovers too!

Day 156 - I got nothing! Yes, a day went by that I didn't get a picture. So here is an old favorite.

Day 157 - Looks like the hubster wants to buy a new car soon. We stopped by this lot to look at one that peaked his interest.

Day 158 - Our fairly new microwave broke so Brian brought this one home from work until we get ours repaired. Why don't these things last more than a year or two?


Day 159 - Had a great time at my nephew's fifth birthday party!

Day 160 - Part of the healthy, new me is to make sure that I don't miss taking my vitamins and supplements. What's my favorite that I never go a day without? COQ10.

Day 161 - I spent some time today watching webinars on Instatram. I can't believe how much I learned! After watching and studying, I tweaked my profile and changed my avatar.  I even un-followed a few people for posting numerous pictures in a very small (a couple hours) time frame. Two dozen pictures in an afternoon, is way too many!
