Cake Decorating 101 - Class #4

By
This is my final installment about my class decorating class, because we had our final class tonight.  (Shed of single tear.)  Tonight we learned how to do a few more frosting flowers and worked on writing with frosting.  Then we decorated our final cake.  Here is the grand finale!

This is how my final cake turned out.

This is Talena's final cake, it's so pretty!

We owe all our cake knowledge to our fabulous teacher, Allison.

We even got certificates!  Yep, this is going up on the mantel .
(If we had a mantel, that is.)
After our final class Talena and I went back to my place to celebrate our advancement in the world of cake decorating by eating cake, of course!  Danny got to join in the fun and eat cake with us too.

Here I am cutting the cake.  

This moment was really tender for me.

We have leftovers for anyone who wants some.
I must say the cake decorating class was a hit.  While I'm still very novice, it was fun to learn a new skill.  Plus, I got to spend time with my good friend Talena.  I'm looking forward to practicing the different techniques I learned.  However, honestly I am kind of sick of cake, so it will be nice to have a little break.

    I know what you mean about cake. Too much of a good thing gets tiring. That's why we started having birthday pies in May.

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

I've become a finals widow, if you will, meaning Danny is crazy busy trying to finish up the semester.  This has given me extra time to use my crafty skills to get our place Christmas ready.  My first creations were these little paper/foam trees.  I've seen a few variations online of this craft. I put my own little twist on it.  They are really easy to make, just takes some time. Here is what you need: Scrap paper Hot glue gun 1" Circle punch Foam cone (at most craft stores) Toothpicks Note:  You are going to go to the craft store to buy the little foam cone and you will see styrofoam glue and you will think to yourself that would be a good thing to buy for this project.  Don't!  I got the styrofoam glue and it didn't work at all.  Just go with your trusty glue gun, it won't let you down. I think it's pretty self-explanatory by looking at the picture.  You just punch circles out from the scrap paper.  Then hot glue th...

The End of the Road

There is a time when things fulfill their purpose and that is how I've been feeling with this blog of mine. When I started it, I needed my own little spot to share my thoughts and random stuff I found online. However, having two blogs has become excessive. It has been a good run (me and this little blog) and thanks for joining me. For now on, I will just be posting on my family blog . It's a private blog, but send me a message or a request if you would like to view it. Thanks to those who have taken the time to read my silly thoughts or look at pictures of my cute kiddo or some craft I made. It means a lot to me. Signing off, Jannifer

The Christmas Box

By
Remember how forever ago I said I would post a tutorial on how to fold these cute boxes.  Sigh, life is busy.  But I am here to fulfill my promise, even if it is a bit belated.  We had a Super Saturday at church with classes we could take.  My awesome friend, Becky, taught us how to create these, so I give her all the credit. What you need, paper, scissors, ruler pencil and some type of adhesive. 1.On the blank side of your paper draw an X from each corner, using a ruler. 2. Fold the bottom corner to the  center. 3. Fold the bottom corner one more  time up to the center. 4. Now you are  going to do the exact  two folds from steps 2 and 3 to the  opposing top corner, so your  paper will look like this. 5.  Unfold your paper and make the same folds to left and right corners that haven't been folded yet.  So once again, fold the point to the middle. 6.  Do a second fold to th...
