I have to let everyone know about this book I just finished. Its been #1 on the NYT bestseller list, but not your typical "bestseller" by any means.

Its called "The Shack" Its not like any book I've ever read before. I am a mother of two with little time for reading, so I pick my books selectively. And I'm not one to read a "Christian" Novel, but this one is different. If I have sparked your curiosity at all, I encourage you, ask someone who has read it, pick it up for yourself. The beginning may not snag you right away, but keep at it. This one is worth the read!

Birthday Cake....Divine...

My wonderful husband's birthday was Saturday, He turned 32, I mean 25!..yeah right! So anyway, I made him a cake that was to die for! There is the recipe...worth all the work it was. Great website too! Thanks smitten kitchen! Next I'm going to have to get the book it came from

I also worked on some cards this weekend. My parents were in town, took the kids for an afternoon, and I actually got some card making done..here are the cards.

I have to let everyone know, because Im so excited! I won blog candy! Its from and I won a helium balloon kit! That will come in handy at my next birthday party!

Blogher is a great website for checking out other blogs, finding blog candy etc...just getting to know it.

Speaking of birthdays...my husbands is tommorrow....

Well, I've been gone a while, I was out of town for a week, my sister graduated from 8th grade. Yes, I said it, 8th Grade! She is going to be in high school now. We are 16 years apart. That was exciting, but made me feel old. Especially when she told me that something that happened to me happened in "old days". Sheesh. Teenagers.

I made her a cake for her birthday. Used fondant for only the second time. She wanted it pink and silver, and they had a hollywood theme, thought I would share a couple of the pics.


I got the things on the cake from the scrapbooking section of Michaels. Gotta love that huh? It has different things on each side. Cheer, hollywood (to go with the theme) and of course graduation.

It was lots of fun, but Im glad to be back, and trying to get caught up. And of course, I cant wait to get back into my scrapbooking!
