Happy Friday Everyone!

I am in such a happy little mood today~ 

The sun is out, my house is clean and I have the whole day to craft! 

How lucky of a girl am I?

 Hope you all are having a magical day as well- 

if not pull those pink colored shades out of your drawers and purses 

and join in the sweet candy colored explosion of 

just being plain ol' happy go lucky!

A Very Busy New Year~

I'm afraid I have been neglecting 

many of my blogger friends as of late.

I have been so busy creating magic 

for the All Dolled Up Valentine's Party

 in honor of Lollishops grand opening. 

I've been diligently crafting and working on new ideas

 for my Keepsake Cakes Shop.

& I just opened a second shop~ ittybittybirdy

A shop full of sweet vintage treasures for your little ones.

Two of my favorite items are in the new shop~

This adorable Strawberry Shortcake dress

And just in time for Valentine's this most precious baby girl dress

 in bright cherry red with white polka dots!

Also I created a new blog just for keepsake cakes~

I really wanted to start a website but someone already took the url 

even though they aren't using it... 

and also the blog url was gone too! 

So I put a dash in between the Keepsake and the Cakes.  

But still no-one will find me through a google search

 unless the google-bots find me...

So I would really love it if you would visit my new blog 

and maybe even add it to your blog role~

Also, I am still trying to find a job! Blah!

Hope to visit you ALL soon!

Jake Weimer!

My little brother WON his heat and the main event last night in Anaheim, CA!

From butterflies and tears, watching Jake cross that finish line on live tv (speed)

was the most nerve wrecking and exciting experience!

We all screamed with joy!

What a way to start the year! 

Congratulations Jake!

You proved to yourself - You're a winner!

I also wanted to say Thank You to Warren Price for letting me purchase the rights to the this beautiful shot he took of Jake last year. And also for his loyal support for my little bro!

Warren is a professional photographer who is working to get a new stock image website off the ground. The site was super easy to use and I found many more hi-resolution images that would be fun to use on my blog. Check out Cutcaster to see how you can buy or license out your own images! 

Good Luck next weekend Jake -in Arizona- We will be watching!

Go Rooster!

At age 3 my brother learned to ride a bike without training wheels. By 4 he had graduated to his own pee wee motorcycle. Before he could have it he had to be able to pick it up on his own. Everyday Jake would go to the bike shop and would give it his all. He has been giving his all to the sport of motocross ever since.

My brother is a driven young man. A man any sister would be proud of. He is hard working, ambitious and extremely humble. Life hasn't always been easy for Jake, but he never gave up on his dreams. His childhood was filled with long days of practice and endless sacrifices.

Today my little brother is a professional motocross rider with a bright future!

Jake, 

I wish you a successful and safe season! 

I LOVE YOU!

Make yourself Proud!

You already made me proud!!!

Love Always,

Chelsea
