I wanted to share a few pictures from this weekend at Plum Pickens. Set up for each show seems to get faster and faster each time, and I was able to snap a picture of the garage before...
and "after" (prior to opening Saturday morning"...
How cool is that? No, I cannot take any credit for the above, although I wish I could.
Thank you to all who stopped by! We look forward to seeing you in November for our annual Christmas Show!

Busy creating that is! I have been in the studio playing, making some fun things for Halloween.
Not ready to share pictures just yet, but if you join me this Saturday at Plum Pickens, you can see for yourself. That's right, it's the fall show this weekend from 10-3. Hope to see you there!
For now, I will leave you with this little bit of Halloween...

Hi all, I hope your summer is going well. Mine has been busy! The boys are finally off to school, and Claire is getting ready to start walking... yikes!!!
Between all of the craziness, I have managed to squeeze some time in for creating. The fall show is a little over a month away, and I have lots of ideas to bring to life. As if that wasn't enough, I will be teaching classes at Southeast Commnunity College in Lincoln. The schedule is finally posted, and I am so excited.
My classes are shown on the left.
Lots of fun, please share this info with friends and family in the Lincoln Metro area. Come to Lincoln and create with me. Bring some friends and make a day of it!

What's Plum Pickens? Only one of the most amazing shows in the Big O. On average there are 9 artists displaying and selling their latest creations. Our Christmas in July show last weekend had 10 ladies waiting outside the door at 9:30 when I arrived (doors open at 10) I am so thankful to be included in this talented group, and even more thankful for those who line up in all kinds of weather to be the first in the door.
Here's a peek of what you missed...
Our next show, where you will find all things fall, is Sept 24. Hope to see you there...

12 years ago... I married the most wonderful guy, and he in turn gave me the 3 most wonderful gifts ever!
One of my gifts just turns 5 tomorrow. Check out his party...
rockin some serious bling...
time to blow out the candles. I only had the ones that re-light! He did manage to get them all out eventually. According to Cody, Cam will have 3 girlfriends (he left 3 flames burning the first try!) Sorry Cody, I think Cam has already broken a few hearts...
Move over Jack Sparrow, Captain Blue Beard is taking over. The boys thought it would be funny to make beards out of the frosting. NICE!!!
And then we come to the 3 kid pile up...
the poor slip n slide never had a chance. It was fun while it lasted.
Happy Birthday!

It's not officially Claire's birthday, but it was a wonderful day to celebrate with family...
Her Aunt JoJo (as the boys call her) flew into town for a visit, and it was the first time she was able to meet Claire.
Fresh flowers from the garden, lots of fun balloons, and my favorite painting in the background (I can only take credit for falling in love with it, not for creating it.)
Such a treat to move into a new house and have such beautiful surprises waiting...
Claire before, and sorry after isn't much fun. She barely touched her cake. I think the fondant ball on top of the hat pretty much ruined it for her. She wouldn't even open up for a bite of just plain cake. Oh well...
Happy Birthday!

It's been a while since my last post, partly because I have been unable to upload photos (I uploaded a new version of IE and it's not compatible!!! go figure...) Ah, finally! I just love Claire's first pair of shoes!!! So Pink and sparkly!
So what have I been up to lately? I have been busy making lots of different things, and I am excited about the opportunity to teach classes at Southeast Community College. I will be creating 3 classes for the fall quarter focusing on my mixed media pieces.
I just finished up my first show of the Plum Pickens year! A huge thank you to all who stopped out! I debuted my newest flavor of LollyCakes... Pink Lemonade! just the right amount of tang! Plus it's pink perfect for baby showers, little girl's birthdays, bridal showers or just because!
Here's a look at one of my Easter orders...
Happy May everyone!

Things were starting to green up here. The weather was beautiful, and then mother nature decided to shake things up. Snow!!!
Really, my daffadills and tulips were on the verge of blooming, the pussy willow tree (a suprise in the back yard!) was budding, and the grass was turning green. And for all the fellow teachers out there, the kids were showing signs of "spring fever".
Out of no where, the winds chills considerably, the skies turned that cold wintery grey, and little flakes started falling. Thankfully they are not sticking around, but I am beginning to get weather whiplash!!! Plus the people, it's like a weather reboot. Spring weather brings out the crazy drivers for a few days, you know the ones who are celebrating the sweet freedom of the windows down and clear streets. Then the snow hits, and the crazy drivers that had started to settle down are now in panic driving mode or worse, they forget that YES the roads can be slick even in mid March.
Oh well, what can you do? Me, I stay inside and bake. I am still making cake pops, but I have since added to my baking skills. I now create doughnuts and have even started working on fresh croissants.
Hopefully, I can share pictures soon!

Last week was a crazy, busy week... I did my first solo craft fair where I featured LollyCakes. I met some fabulous people, and handed out a lot of samples!
Here are a few pics of what I took with me. (Sorry, I was so excited/nervous that I didn't take time to photo my table!)
Chocolate Chip dipped in pink candy coating, dressed up with a sugared chocolate bow!
A few more monsters, who wouldn't love a monster made with my Classic Chocolate cake pop!
I have also been working on more custom samples...
Fun treats, good eats!

I am taking LollyCakes out for my first show.
I will have samples of the following flavors available for tasting:
Chocolate Peanut Butter
Coconut Delight
Chocolate Chip
Classic Chocolate
Classic Vanilla
Orange Dream
A limited number of cake pops will be available for purchase, and orders are very welcome! My artwork will also be available for purchase, so there is much to see. Please stop by, I hope to see you there!
