Aunt Recie

For the past few weeks we have been lucky to have Great Aunt Recie staying in Savannah. Miles has had so much fun with her and of course is in love with her dog Wookie. On the phone the other day he told her how much he missed her and then said....I miss your dog too.

Here we are on an extremely hot summer day and Miles is giving Aunt Recie a really good arm work out.

She kept saying that she didn't want to get splashed, but she exited the pool soaked.

Thanks for coming and spending time with us. We love you. xoxox

Cakes

Here is a cute baby shower cake that I did for a "glamorous" mama to be. It was really fun deciding what she would be carrying around in her bag. But I am embarrassed to say that I got so caught up in those little things that I didn't even make a strap for the bag itself....I mean, how is that going to work? no strap?

I loved my little baby shoes and the pearl necklace on the rubber ducky. She's a fancy rubber ducky. ;)

...and yes, I live in a military town. My neighbor Christine just retired from the military and asked me to make her a cake. I thought for days about what I would do and how I would craft together the boots and paraphernalia. Thank goodness I did.......

Because, the week James was out of town I got a very last minute order from someone and was happy that I already knew how to make some army boots and a duffel. :)

Now this is obviously not a "how to" tutorial. I don't think I have the patience for that kind of thing. But here is a little peek at the process behind some of these cake. I tried to remember to take pictures, but I would just get working and distracted and then be done. Maybe next time there will be more.
