Books. Cakes. Design.
In September, I started a cupcake adventure. If you haven’t read about it yet, you can do so here.

What, you’ve never heard of a Cupcake Kabob before?!
The first thing I did to prep the kabobs was grab a bunch of these:
And a bunch of these:
If I could help it, I didn’t want to repeat colors [...]
Now THAT’S quite the title for a book, isn’t it, ladies?! I can tell you that since marrying Andrew last May, my life has certainly felt like an adventure! And I wouldn’t trade a minute of it for the world!
My friend Alison found this book at an estate sale and asked me to convert it [...]
Yesterday I posted Sam and Candace’s wedding guest book. Today, I’m featuring the books I made for their groomsmen.
I LOVE making lots of books at once. It’s so satisfying to make an entire collection, knowing that although they are alike, each book will be given a different home.
I made six books for Sam and Candace: [...]
Last year, I had the privilege of working through a 12-week program called The Artist’s Way with two amazing people, including Sam DuRegger. Because the journey of AW inspires you to take action in making your dreams come true, it’s no surprise that many things changed for the three of us in the group. My [...]
With Valentine’s Day around the corner, it’s time to start considering a thoughtful, handmade gift for your sweetie. ((I can help!))
Two years ago, I made this book for my (then) boyfriend, who is now my husband!…not that the book caused that transition, mind you, but I’m sure it didn’t hurt either.
It was a [...]
This past Fall, I was flooded with orders for personalized journals. It was great fun to be so involved in so many people’s gift-giving for 2009!
I got a great email from a woman I’d never met before. Her name is Peggy and she wrote: “My children are grown and married [...] for Christmas I want [...]
Before football season even began this year, OU was on my mind. As you can imagine, just thinking of OU is a disturbing idea in our household, as I am from Nebraska (Go Huskers!) and my hubby is a huge OSU fan. But sometimes you make sacrifices to help a friend, and since my buddy [...]
Last fall, I was asked to make my first-ever Bachelorette/Personal Shower cake. I wasn’t even sure where to being on THAT assignment, so I was lucky that the hostess sent me a photo of a cake she wanted me to copy.
I made a sheet cake and two 6″ round cakes (guess why) and designed a [...]
Today you’ll see the fifth and final book from my bridesmaids collection. For the past four Thursdays you’ve seen the books I’ve made for Allison, Zoe, Jacee, and Arica. Book #5 was for Megan, my best friend from college.
Megan is an amazing designer and creates adorable patterns and textiles for a children’s clothing company in [...]
By now, you’ve seen the books I made for three of my five bridesmaids: Allison, Zoe, and Jacee. Book #4 was for my sister Arica (fyi: it’s pronounced like Erica).
Making Arica’s book proved to be the most challenging. Arica is a very talented writer and loves to journal, so through the years I have made [...]
