Another Blog
It is all part of my attempt to use the "free" aspects of the internet to shamelessly promote my business. So it is specifically a sewing blog to post pictures, prices, etc. for Cinde Exclusives. It will link from my website so those who are interested can find out more info about my work. You can check it out here.
See Ya Bye!

At Work Today
Today, Lysa at Proverbs 31, puts in a good word for Chick-Fil-A. I think it is a good word for any Christian in the business world. Are we going the extra mile to serve our customers? To give them a bright spot in their day? To listen if needed? To have integrity in our dealings? Are they a person to us or just a means of getting that paycheck?
Lysa says, "Our tasks should be a means to an end- not the end itself. Whatever we are doing, we should have spiritual eyes that are wide open realizing not one person who crosses our path is there by happen chance."
Definitely something to think about at work today...which means I'd better get to it!

"Barefoot Cake Wrecks"
Take this one for example:
Or maybe these seasonal favorites:
Do you suppose someone has created a snufflupagus/reindeer cross? Now those are some crazy genetics!
In the spirit of what would Jesus do, I decided I shouldn't throw cakey-stones or try to get the "cake log" out of my brother's eye without first taking a look at the splinter in mine.
Therefore I bring you: (drumroll) "Barefoot Cake Wrecks"
Okay...moving on...
This lovely creation - sporting a "ghetto shoe" - was for Blue's 5th birthday. I copied the shoe design from her invitations...was supposed to be pink leopard skin. Why is it still in the pan you ask? Easier to carry to the roller skating rink that way - plus mama is busy and it's much faster if you don't decorate the sides!
This little number was for a "picnic" themed birthday. It is supposed to be a checkered picnic tablecloth, complete with ants. It looks more like argyle gone buggy...
And now for the Grand Finale I bring you the "CCC". On the official "Cake Wrecks" blog, the "CCC" stands for Cupcake Cake and man do they ever get some heat.
Here are the "Barefoot Cake Wreck" versions: This one isn't too bad. I think you can tell it is a football sitting on the field at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, TN. You can tell that right???
However, please remember, I am not a professional...but the person who made this was:
Thanks for joining me in "caking" fun of myself today! Love ya'll!

Permission to Nag??
Buford, my dad, and I were talking about the busy schedule this week and how wives have to keep their husbands informed and reminded all the time. My dad said, "We need some nudging and guidance from time to time."
I said, "Dad, do you realize that the acronym for Nudging And Guidance is NAG?"
