And we thought she knew everything...

We often joke that my mom knows everything (including how to speak French, Linda). And while she is very wise and knows how to do a great number of things. Apparently making a cake isn't one of them. And here's the proof...






This is the finished product, we had not yet cut into it or even tried to tear it apart with our bare hands!

However, she did try to redeem herself by making this beautiful styrofoam wedding cake at work. I said it doesn't count if you can't actually eat it!





I LOVE YOU MOMMY!!!

... and tatts!

I posted about my cats and now I'm finally getting around to posting about the tatts!

Here's the new one I got last night (the flowers are crocuses):


Here's the whole thing together:



Those pink & purple Sweet Pea's are a cover up. All that was there is this (sad little thing):



Here's my Rosie the Riveter on the outside of my right ankle (For some reason this picture came out a little blurry. She's very crisp & clear in real life):


These are the pansies on the inside of my left ankle:


And the unknown type of flower on the outside of my left ankle. This was also a cover up of a small peach that was there. The tattoo artist that did the cover up had to come up with something that would fit over the peach, and this worked perfectly.


I'm eagerly awaiting the day when I win the lottery and can quit my "real" job so I can cover my entire body in tattoos, pierce my nose, dye my hair pink and be a total freak!!

Some people seem to think that tattoos have to have all kinds of deep meaning. Some of mine are very meaningful and others are just because they are pretty and I like pretty things!!

All of this fine work was done by Sarah Fish at GenX Tattoo in Willoughby. http://www.genxtattoos.com/
