Baseball Cupcakes


End of the t-ball season is here. We had a party yesterday and the kids got trophies, pictures and pizza. Lots of fun! After much deliberating  with Tagen about cupcake ideas and changing our minds several times, we settled on easy, which turned out to be anything but. But I did learn how to paint cookies which I'm positive I'll do again in the very near future. In the end the cupcakes turned out cute and I am in search of a new buttercream recipe.

New year, new adventures, new news!!

Happy New Year! New years always bring new perspectives and here in cre8iveland it's no different. Whether you call them resolutions or goals, I've always been one to write out how I hope my year will transpire and what I hope to say I have accomplished at the end of the next 12 months. This year is no different. And while I have the same "going to exercise regularly" resolutions as everyone else, most of my goals are centered on expanding the various aspects of my business and finding more ways to give back. While cre8ive Industries has always donated items to help with various causes and fundraisers, there is so much more that can be done. It is this that tops my resolution list. In December, I received a fun bit of news... one of my designs, the I'm the Baby Daddy tshirt , is being featured on Amazon. It's a design that I created for my Cafepress store, mostly out of a sarcastic state as the term Baby Daddy first started getting popular. My intention ...

Afternoon Hiking

Two days ago I posted on my facebook wall that I was done being creative for the day and was going outside to play. Funny thing about going outside to play… it usually gives me more work to do in the form of photos to edit. (-: The kids and I went to Lucia Falls and Moulton Falls Park, which were both beautiful and relatively empty of people. The water was cold but not as cold as you might expect for mountain run off in June. However, not warm enough to swim. And it’s all fun and games until someone falls in the river. In this case it was the little guy who now has a battle wound in the form of a scraped knee and a new story to add to his collection of adventures. Several new shots, one scraped knee, a mile or two of hiking and lots of laughs add up to a pretty good afternoon.

Birthdays, Bookmarks and Baseball

There's not much that keeps me from crafting, baking and creativity in general. However, baseball is one of those things. We have two kids in regular little league and one kiddo who plays for a tournament team that has more games during a much longer season. And while I love baseball, this could mean 3 games in 3 different towns on any given day and conceivably a game every day during May and June and All Star Tournaments in July. Craziness. It also means that I have a lot to do where my creative work is concerned to catch up. Here is catching up looks like... Graphic design  Since Cafepress changed the way they do business a year ago, I've been gradually moving my newer designs to Zazzle instead. I have over 800 designs at CP but will probably only move about 200 of them and put any new creations at Zazzle as well.  Zazzle isn't as popular as CP yet and I don't love what I feel are limitations, but I have hopes that once I get my designs listed, it will be better....
