Stuck in a rut....is what I am. I was counting on working immediately upon returning home, but as they say, the best laid plans do not turn out. So, in the meantime I decided that I would at least be productive and be a work-out fiend. That motivation lasted for about a couple weeks until the warmth of my bed called me back. After that, my motivation was toast. The one thing that I have been successful at is crafting. I will post pictures of my latest creations tomorrow :) Luckily, I have some job interviews lined up and things seem to be getting back on track. I hate being lazy!

This is a representation of me now:

This is a representation of eventual, newly-improved, joyful me:

So, cross your fingers and toes and pray that I will regain my mojo (yep..I just said mojo..).....pretty please?

Twiddling my thumbs

Soooo unfortunately, I'm not as hardworking as all of you because I have yet to find a summer job! This is not for lack of trying though....jobs just keep falling through :( So, to keep myself from going stir CRAZY at home, my mom and I are taking a Cake Decorating class. I have also been building my domestic skills by making crafts. I love being creative and saving money by making things instead of buying them. So, I invite you to grab a popsicle, lemonade (or any other summery treat that you like) and bask in my creativity....ok, seriously don't get too excited because my creations are not really that exciting if I'm being totally honest.

Ok....this is the first cake that I have decorated in class so far. Our task was to design a cupcake that we would place on top of our cake. Please do not judge the mismatching borders...I ran out of pink frosting so I had to use green for the bottom.

Our teacher cut into our cakes to make sure we properly torted (cutting a cake in layers) them. I decided to do a mixture of red velvet cake and yellow because lets face it, I love color!

I made a rosette fabric necklace and I actually like the way it turned out. Excuse the weird posing, I hate taking pictures of myself (can you say vain?)...especially mirror pictures.

I am seriously obsessed with headbands, so what kinda girl would I be if I didn't make some?! Plus, I figure they will be passed down to a daughter someday :)

Anywho, let me know about your summer adventures since as you can clearly see.......they are in short supply here!
