Humility and Delight

"Authority exercised with humility, and obedience accepted with delight are the very lines along which our spirits live." --C.S. Lewis

3's a crowd...or a cake!

I received a cake order from a woman who was doing a surprise birthday party for her mom who was turning 60. The three things she said her mom loved were gardening, Kenny Rogers, and black licorice. What?! I had a challenge ahead of me. I decided to make it mainly a garden cake with Kenny Rogers song titles as the garden markers and a black licorice "60". Here's the finished product. I was quite pleased. :)

I have a very trustworthy husband.

Frilly Feminine Birthday Cake

Our friend Megs turned 18! Here's the cake I made to celebrate the occasion.

She loves stripes and frills with a touch of the funky. I thought the cake turned out to be quite a good representation of her.

Chic Barn Wedding

Another wedding job! I didn't get a ton of photos (and some are from the photographer), but you get the idea.

Hot times!

We've had quite a busy summer this year! We've enjoyed a few weddings, a family reunion, out of town guests, and general outdoor merriment. Here's a little taste of what we've been up to.

More than you can handle?

"God has promised to never leave us or forsake us; He has promised no temptation will ever be so bad that we can’t escape. But He never promised not to give us more than we could handle. In fact, He gives us more than we can handle all the time. If He didn’t, then we would not need to lean on Him for grace and strength."

I'll certainly think twice before I say that little phrase again! Thank you Mrs. Wilson! You can read the whole article here (and please do!).

No honeymooners here.

Day 2 of a 3 day potluck marathon! This is what I'm making today.

It's sublime.
