Another project

Hmmm... I'm thinking of trying my hand at working with fondant. I don't know, I think I'll buy a tub and try working with it... rolling it, maybe try some flowers. If I fail at it.... there's a Wilton decorating class that's starting in a week and a half that I may have to sign up for. I'm thinking this as the project.. a princess cake with matching cookies. It looks fairly easy. I'll let you know how it turns out. Cross your fingers for me!

See you soon :)

hey what's he doin...

it's what our family does best
brother & sister
we had so much fun

I must say... what our family is really good at is throwing a shin dig. When the music starts up our family is always the first on the floor. When the cousins get together it's always fun to watch them dance. The uncles..... (my husband and his siblings) are there right behind the kids. The food.. we always cook way too much or in this case order too much. We expected about 130 people and purchased enough for 150. We never ever run out of food for our guest. The next wedding is in Feb. we can't wait!
See you soon :)

The wedding and such

Yesterday I shared with you one of my hobbies...photography. Today I'll share with you another... baking and crafting. My daughter was the maid of honor of a very special young lady, a bridal shower shared with family and friends. The theme of the shower was country garden, here are the favors and cookies I made for the bride and her guest.

How I just love facebook

It's funny how much you can learn from your friends on facebook.

A lot of my friends are people I've grown up with starting in elementary school through high school. Michael posted a picture of himself and a friend we knew from Jr. high, his comment said "enjoying the ocean with my Baby Girl ;)" . My comment back was hmmmmm. He asked what I was hmmming about. I said it was an innocent hmmm but now he had me wondering and I asked if he had anything he wanted to get of his chest. Uh huh just what I thought... he sent me a private message letting me know that they were not only dating but now living together. hehehe. To the public he wrote "very funny barb".

I had another childhood friend who asked me today if I was running from her since she posted she was leaving Japan and moving to Florida and I'm no longer there.

I had another friend post her wedding pictures today. I can't re-post her professional pictures but I will share a few with you of some that I took. Enjoy!

What can I say... I love taking pictures!

my first blog

Here's the thing. I love photography, crafting and baking. I'm a wanna be. I wish I could do all these things well but to me, I always seem to fall short. My blog will have tons of pictures of things I've done over the years.
One of the reasons for this blog is... my husband and I just relocated from Florida to Texas due to a position change my husband just scored. We've been here now for 3 weeks and I have lots of time on my hands. At least here I can share and hope that someone is looking, reading and willing to follow me on my new journey.
Because I don't know anyone here in Texas, I've decide to catch up on a few things. As of yesterday, I started to re-do my recipe box, next will be my photo's and in between blogging. Well it's time for me to start dinner. I think I'll make fish with stir fry veggies and rice.
Stay tuned......
