Update

Just wanted to give you a little update and let you know how things are going......we are moved in and working together to get stuff put away. My wonderful husband Dean put my shelves up last night and I am still working on the painting. We still have a long way to go but we will get it done. The kids are working towards the last days of school.....Katelynn only has 2 weeks left and I think that Nikolas has a month. So I am ready to say bring on the summer.....I am ready for a break. As soon as my area is finished I promise I will post pictures and maybe a video...I hope all is well for all of you....talk to you soon!!!

The Final Performance

Nikolas waiting to perform

We are so proud of this young man....he has been playing the violin for 2 years now and this is the final performance of the year. There has been a lot of budget cuts and there is a lot of uncertainty about the music program at his school....So this could very well be his final performance all together. So we want to make sure he knows just how proud we really are of him. Nikolas you have done a wonderful job we love you and are so very proud of you.

Working On It

Well we are counting down the days until the big move....we are lucky enough to be able to move some of our stuff into the garage ahead of time.....so that should make the move easier. We were able to see the house yesterday and it open the flood gates of inspiration. There are so many things that we want to do....it will be fun setting thing up.....I just hope that everything runs smoothly and that goes the way we plan.

We Are Moving.....

So I am sad and happy at the same time.....We are moving.....We have been living in an apartment since Chase was 6 months old....The apartment worked for us for a long time....it fit all of our needs.....well as the years have passed the needs have changed....so we have decided to move to a house. It's bigger then the apartment and we have a front and backyard so the kids have lots of room to play (as well as the dog)
The best part is it gives Dean a bigger area for himself and a bigger area for me too!! So all these things should make life a little calmer and comfortable.
Now on to the bad parts packing....I HATE packing.....But I'm excited so it seems to be going pretty fast.....Dean and I are a pretty good team so as long as we stick together we can get it done.....
So look forward to new videos and new pictures once we get settled...Hope everyone is having a great week!!

My First Cake

Well I did it....This is my first cake...and for a first cake it didn't come out too bad. But let me tell you I am tired. It is a lot of work. I started at about 9 this morning and just finished at 1:30pm. And I feel it all over....lol I feel good about it for the first cake. The good thing is that I know that I can do it again and it can only get better. I can't imagine how people do it with home made fondant though....it was hard enough with the store bought stuff. So tell me what you think....I hope you guys are have a great weekend....now I have to go and clean the kitchen.....YUCK!!!

The Cricut Cake

I was one of the lucky few to get a Cricut Cake. HSN had a great package deal.....one that we just couldn't pass up. My first attempt was not on a cake like most it was just on some cupcakes. I know I have so much more to learn, but for me that is the fun part. In the next few weeks I will be learning everything there is about cake making, icing, fondant and just about anything else there is to know.
I am so lucky to have a friend that has been cake making for a while now and when I begged her to teach me what she knows she sure without a second thought (thanks Arlene!!!) So as the weeks progress I will post pictures and videos so that you can see how far I have come.
One last thing before I go you can now buy my cards online the website is

thepinkcricketonline.com

It's not just cards it's so much more so if you get a chance check it out and tell me what you think.......Thanks again everyone and have a great week!!!!

I thought I would show couple of cards I have been working on. To be honest if I showed them all it would be the longest post ever....lol I have been working hard on making cards because I am going to try and sell them.....not to sure how it's going to work out....I never seem to have enough faith in myself and my abilities. But I do think the cards are getting better with the more I make. I actually like the puzzle part of the card making.....by which I mean matching the colors and picking what papers and embellishments go with what....I love that! Well I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and that it doesn't go by too fast......Happy Crafting!!! Brandy
