Hulloooaa all you lovely people and welcome to all newcomers :-)  This Schweeet Mamma has been so very busy with my baking and creating, and I must confess that the heat in this part of the globe at this time of year sometimes makes me wonder at my sanity!  But here I am, still baking and creating and loving it - especially new challenges!  I have enrolled in a number of craftsy lessons, and my only real bugbear about that is that our internet signal is very erratic so a lesson that takes about 45 minutes can take a whole day to watch - so irritating!  But I persevere because every lesson and every practical use of the lesson makes be a better cake artist :-)

Well Daisy & Mandy
All is right in the world in my part of Canada. Christmas is in the air here. Expecting my 1st grandchild in about 2-3 weeks!! SOooo excited!! This past wknd was incredibly warm for mid-November. Hubby finally installed good overhead lighting in my caking area in basement. Re-doing laundry room in new year & cupboards there will be moved to my caking area....yeah!! Storage for all my books & pans. I was using my laptop to watch Craftsy classes...but sadly...laptop died..... boo hoo. But I treated myself and bought a IPad Mini this past summer. Love it...so now I can watch my Craftsy classes on it.
Glad to hear your busy Mandy caking away..... :o)
