Pumpkin Cupcake

This title is a little deceiving. Yes, it does sounds like I'm gonna put a great pumpkin cupcake recipe on here that'll make your mouth water. However, in all actuallity, we had a pumpkin contest at work. I was a bit reluctant at first, but finally decided to decorate a pumpkin to look like a cupcake. I do have to give props to my mother though, because as I was very short on time to finish, she was a huge help in this endeavor.

My cute like pumpkin cupcake. The icing is out of homemade play-doh. I think it turned out rather nice.

An Old Kind of New

I am the proud owner of new used car! Can you believe it? I've been on a car hunt for several weeks now and I finally stumbled on one that was perfect. PERFECT!
It's a 92' Toyota Camry (as old as me =)) but with only 107k miles on it and it's blue. Booyah! It's in great condition and I plan on it lasting me for a very long time. We are going to become very old friends. I already love driving it around. Getting new old cars is so exciting.

Oh, Yes. I'm quite proud of my new old car.

Please excuse the terrible lighting in these pics. Thank you. 

Who Me?

Last week I woke up Wednesday morning and I could not open my eyes. I soon realized that I had slept in my contacts. My left eye hurt terribly and I couldn't see really anything. Of course I had school in the morning and it happened to be my favorite classes (not). I had drawing and the thought of going with a paining eye was horrific. However, I dragged myself to school and when I walked in my teacher announced that we were all to pick an animal bone to draw. Animal bones, my favorite. I picked out a random bone, sat down, and started to draw not really sure what I should do. As I was drawing my teacher walked up and stared at my drawing, I shuddered expecting him to say, "What in the world are you doing?" Instead to my amazement he exclaimed, "Wow, keep doing that. That looks really good." So I kept drawing. As the end of class was nearing, my teacher once again came up and announced to the class, "Would you all like to see a really good bone drawing?", as he picked it up and showed it to the entire class. Then he proceeded to tell me that, "I'd really like to display this in the art hallway along with your charcoal drawing from last week." As he is saying all this, there I am thinking, "Who me? Are you talking to me? Are you sure you mean ME?"
Well, I'm happy to say he was talking to me and my drawings are now hanging in the hallway for all to see. I'm moving up in the art world =)
