..pictures, pictures, yay!..

Finally going to post some pics from the Bridal Show!

I'm about to upload the rest of them to the website :) You need to go there to see the one that the lighting guy used. It was pretty cool, if I do say so myself :)

And since we never get snow here, I have to document it :)

And here's the F.E. Monster looking all cute and snowbunny-like :D

..time is my friend..

Just not this month, lol. Ok, seriously I have been missing in action Annie this month on the ol' blog-o-rino here. I mean I seriously cannot believe how fast time goes when you're busy.

I have two big events this week: Thursday is the hubbo's birthday. His mom has graciously allowed us to take over her house for the night for his party because my kitchen is covered in cake because of event #2, the Spring Bridal Show.

The Bridal Show is on Sunday, and I only wish it was NEXT Sunday. I got a call from one of the event managers today. She let me know that she got me in a better spot in the ballroom which is excellent. I just wish I had known about it sooner because now I will have a wall behind me, and if it wasn't such short notice I would have com up with something to hang on it. I also got a call today from a special-effects lighting company that will be doing the lights on the stage in the ballroom during the show and during the fashion show as well. He wanted to know if I would want to make a display cake to be up on stage the whole time, done up with special lighting. Um yes, I would! :D But that means one more display cake to add to my list of 6 already. Plus I'm going to try to do the stage cake 6 tiers tall... yikes :D Cross your fingers for me, lol.

So I'm elbow deep in frosting, and haven't had time to do much else. Eat, sleep, make cake, and answer phone calls, with less of the eating and sleeping, and more of the other two.

Yes, so.. I still love you all. A lot. And I miss you. I'm trying, really.. I mean, it's hard what with updating here, and Facebook, and Twitter. Technology is exhausting :D

..happy 2010!..

I know, I'm a day late and a dollar short.. story of my life :) But I did have a wonderful New Year's Eve, and it was made even better by getting to sleep in with the hubs on New Year's Day! But January 2nd means taking down all of my Christmas stuff.. that always makes me a little sad, but I have SO much to look forward to in 2010! I'm hoping for good changes, and wishing for success. Surely to goodness now that the holidays are over I can get back to blogging regularly! I hope so, just for my sake. It helps keep me sane :D

I'll leave with the last photo of 2009..

..ready for christmas!..

I am so looking forward to Christmas this year. Hubbo will be home, I got him rockin' gifts this year, and we've got lots of family to visit. I don't know how often he looks at my blog since I'm a complete slacker and I don't post very often.. but one of his gifts is very cool, and I can't wait to post pics. It's handmade ;)

So for all of my online friends, I just want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. I hope you all have safe trips, great food and wonderful memories! I hope Santa is good to all of you!

P.S. he called and asked how you all were. I lied, so you're on the Nice list! :)

..rain rain..

Big time raining here.. that's ok though. I've been cleaning and wrapping Christmas presents. Trying to get hubbo's wrapped before he gets home tonight. Sneaky sneaky :)

Question.. is it bad that I bought my sister a Christmas present last year and hid it so well that I still haven't found it?! Lol! :D

..geez louise..

I never thought starting my business would take me away from EVERYTHING! :) Can I tell you that I haven't even looked at my Google Reader in two months. I haven't picked up a needle and thread, or some adhesive and scrap paper in two months. But busy with the business means that business is good. And I'm thankful for that, very thankful. Now I'm just interested to see how the holiday season is going to pan out with me being so busy :)

..october WAS busy!..

Where did it go? :) I had cake orders for every weekend in October. I can't believe it's November already. Wowee :) I had an absolute awesome time doing the 13 Days of Halloween swap. I hope to host more blog swaps in the future. I just got to meet so many wonderful, talented people through this. Thank you all for joining and making it successful! :)

And now I have the holidays to look forward to. Somebody actually had the nerve to tell me there were 7 weeks left until Christmas. I did NOT want to know that! :D It's too soon, and I have too much shopping left to do! Although I've been trying to do most of it online and it's helping :)

And maybe I won't be as scarce in November as I was in October. I need creative time to myself and I haven't had any lately! :)
