S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y HEY!

I just love the song "Saturday Night" by the Bay City Rollers! (that's the reason for the title, it fits) I had an awesome Saturday with my mom and my friends!! So, if you haven't guessed it already, I'm going to tell you about my Saturday.

I started of with a Jewelry party that was hosted by my roomie Carla. Sadly there weren't many people that showed up (me, my mom, and one of our roomies). Yeah, not the biggest crowd, BUT she made good sales, so it turned out better than it started off. I got myself a new watch, I can't wait to get it! Also, got my cousin a lil something to brighten her spirits :)

So, after the jewelry party, me and mom went SHOPPING!! I needed teacher clothes bad, so this shopping trip was a must. We went to one of my favorite clothing apparel stores ever....Old Navy :)

I was able to find some really cute shirts and cardigans while we were here. Great teacher clothes, should have hit the mall as well, but we spent a whole lot longer in there than we thought we were going to. Oh, while we were there mom got me an early birthday present...

IT'S AN AWESOME TRAVEL MUG THAT'S BPA FREEEE!! Yeah, I know, I'm just a little overly excited about it, but it's so cute! I'm using it on Monday for my lovely long education class. This might be the accessory you always see me with from now on. I love coffee by the way..if you haven't already figured that out.


We also went to Hobby Lobby and there were sales in every section of the store going on that day. Needless to say, mom got a lot of stuff for her photography business she's starting, I know she's going to go far with it! While we were walking through all the isles of that amazing store, mom stumbled upon something pretty awesome...

Thought it was cool because this is what I put at the end of each of my posts, and after seeing this, we saw MANY more.

We ended our awesome and successful shopping trip by driving into the sunset on our way back to Oxford.

That wasn't the end to my day though. Later that night, me and some of my girls went out dancing and we had a blast! Thanks to the loud music though, woke up with my ears ringing...not so much fun. All in all, my Saturday was pretty awesome to say the least. Hope y'all had an awesome weekend as well!

As always...

Have Your Cake and Eat It Too...As Long As You Pay For It

In the fall of 2010, me and my roommate, Carla, started a tiny cake business. It all started when I offered to make my little brothers' friend's birthday cake for him...

I absolutely LOVE Spongebob, so this was exciting to make! Yeah, I know the writing at the bottom looks a little crummy (haha...crummy....get it?), but this was my first time really writing with icing.

After making that cake, it dawned on me that, this is what I want to do, this is my passion! So me and Carla made up a Facebook page ( Krista & Carla's Cakes ) that would help us get the word out. We've done pretty well, especially this month, we had 4 cake orders the first week of Feb! It was hectic, that's for sure, but it was so worth it in the end!

We do charge for our cakes when people order them, but trust me, these cakes are delicious and I'm always so envious of the people that order them and get to eat them....so jealous...I know, I have a sugar problem, but who doesn't (be honest)?

The lasted cake we embarked on was a Princess themed cake. Adorable right?

I thought it was just so darn precious!! It was our first big time sculptured type of cake, so it was quite difficult to get the fondant on (we make our own, it tastes better) but we accomplished it and it came out looking awesome!

Baking takes away the stress of a long school day. I do admit, that sometimes, it adds stress, but the end result is always worth it.

What's you're favorite thing to do that calms your nerves after a long stressful day? If you like to bake and decorate...we could become great friends :)

A Little About A Little Dog...

This morning when I woke up, I had a small surprise. My little dog Max was cuddled on my side, looking at me as I opened my eyes b/c of the wonderful alarm going off at 6am.

I dislike waking up so early, but it's the price I pay for having 8am classes on 4 out of 5 days.

It was so cute to see him awake and excited to go on his daily morning walk...I'm glad he likes it, but I sure don't enjoy walking out into the cold and windy dark morning with my pj's and a jacket on...but when he's got to go...he's GOT to go. That sweet little booger.

He's precious, but he's not always the nicest to new people, so I'm giving you a warning now...be careful if you come visit, it'll take him some time to get use to you. He still barks at one of my roommates every time she's around, and we've been living in the same apartment now since August of 2010. He's strange, I know.

Since this is/was my first time blogging, I promise to post more interesting things in the future. This was all I could think about at the moment. If you have any pointers/ideas on posts...leave me a comment!
