Lemon Raspberry Cupcakes...

 This morning, my good friend Lisa (~Cakes by Lisa Marie~) posted to Facebook..."This morning i am making Lemon Cupcakes filled with raspberries and a raspberry cream cheese frosting with a lemon slice on top. House smells good!!" 

I liked the post...she then said that she would call me when they were done to try them! Of course, I am game for this...Lisa's cakes are awesome and pretty tasty!!! Sassy said she wanted to be the first to try them...Lisa posted that her hubby took that job (as always)...Sassy said he was mean and that wasn't fair!!! He then said the one Lisa had for Sassy he ate!!! Sassy looked at me when I said that and asked for my car keys!!! OMG my 9 year old was wanting to drive maybe a 1/4 of mile to their house and give him a piece of her mind!! I looked at her and said why not just ride your dirtbike up there and she said she couldn't cause her daddy wasn't here BUT she could ride her bicycle...I was laughing my hiney off cause I was picturing my kiddo in her PJ's riding her bike up the road on a mission!! Whats funnier is my kiddo wears the tops to her PJ's wrong side out and backwards...I have no clue as to why she does this...has since she could dress herself!!!!! And of course she is mismatched!!! On top of that, she looked like Medusa. Well, about the time she was gonna go get her bike out of the shop (she was determined), we heard a car horn!!! It was Lisa...she brought us 2 cupcakes!! OMG these things were simple cute!! They were light and refreshing...Sassy closed her eyes  and I heard "mmmmmm mmmmmm wow...mmmmmmmm these are amazing!!!"  Of course I had to take a photo of our treat...

THANK YOU LISA!!!!!!

Tyelor...Class of 2012

Today, I heard a knock on the door...

Standing there was my next door neighbor's kid in his cap and gown...

He asked if I could take a few photos of him for his mother...

We walked out to the front yard...

I snapped a few...

We were out there for like 2 minutes...

Here's what I got...

Tyelor...I am proud of you!!!

I would like to congratulate ALL that are in the graduating CLASS OF 2012...

Jessica's cake topper...

Last year, I entered a giveaway for a cake topper and I won. I had planned on using this for when me and my honey get married...I am not sure when that will be. So when Jessica posted a photos of her and her love on Facebook...I KNEW that is what I wanted for the cake topper. Jessica is like a niece to me...her mom and I are first cousin's but have always been as close as sisters. I won't get the joy of being an aunt because my sister has cerebral palsy. Jessica is the closest thing to a niece that I will ever get! This girl is a sweetheart and my youngest daughter wants to be like her so bad.

Anyhow I swiped a photo of Jessica and Heath...and submitted to the vendor that produces the cake toppers...Simply Silhouettes. She posted a photo of the finished product!!! Its gorgeous...simple but elegant! I think it suits her and her theme! 

this is the photo I swiped...

and the finished product!!!

I think its awesome!!!

Thank you Simply Silhouettes!!!

Bridal shower...

I was asked to photograph a bridal shower this past Saturday...I am gonna tell ya I was excited! Even more excited that I didn't feel so nervous that I was sick to my stomach...yes that happens about 97% of the time to me. You would think I would have been that bad nervous Saturday considering I had never met any of the people there and only had talked to one person on the phone and texted her a few times...my phone accidentally called her at 6:00am and I know that had to have freaked her out thinking I was cancelling!  

Anyhow, this bridal shower was for Miss Andria June…OMG she is gorgeous AND sweet! I loved the colors they decorated the church fellowship hall. They went with bold bright colors…handmade flowers in vases adorned the tables and confetti dotted the table clothes.  There were butterflies on the walls. Those round ball lantern things hung from the ceiling and balloons from the chairs. It was simple and refreshing! The bride–to-be’s mother made a strawberry tiered cake, there also was lemon cake and buttermilk pie for dessert. Dinner was served and it included chicken quarters cooked on the grill, slaw, baked beans, bread and lemonade. It was YUMMY!!!! I do not have photos of the food because I normally do not take photos when people are eating...I feel that is rude!

Miss Andria June is very blessed in the family and friends that attended her shower.
