Fine Arts Awards
Over The Hill Cake
I recently made this cake for a friend, who's husband was turning 40. I got the spinner idea from a cake I saw online. It turned out pretty cute. I think it's time I took some real classes so I can figure out how to get the super smooth look. My cakes always have bumps and uneven spots. If you know the answers I welcome your comments.
Happy Birthday Emma!

Emma is another year older and it's really starting to show now. She's suddenly looking so much more grown up. The has the only math/science, left brain in the family. She excels at those subjects, but amazingly also seems to be blessed with a love for music and sings like an angel. (More on that later.)
Summer Themed Art
The art teacher at our elementary school is retiring this year and my kids are so glad. For two years now I've been hearing horror stories about art. Apparently she's "really mean." Okay, so her classroom management skills may be lacking, but my kids have come home with some really cute art projects. Here's hoping that next year they will have good art AND a fun teacher. I always think of my friend Brooke, the best art teacher on the planet, and wish she could be the world's teacher, or at least my kids' teacher.
