Celebrate Good Times .... Comeon!

Wooowzers (as my little sister says) I have so much catching up to do!
Where did the time go to? What have I been doing?

It seems the weeks trip to down under has got me all of track and out of whack - seriously need to catchup on my 52s.... i have the photos, just need to sort them out.

Hoping I can get this done before March... hmmmm... another year older next month- I'm sooo in denial.

My last posting was just before I headed down for my little sister's wedding - I was lucky enough to spend time with my gorgeous family, some divine friends (starting new friendships for Ms S in the making) and then to head to the most gorgeous ideallic location - bushfire free. Sadly that meant that  there was no canoe photo in the middle of the dam with burning embers flying around -  So some gorgeous Twilight reminiscent shots in a dry creek bed by Sheer Image Photography will just have to do!

So now that I have been back for a while- what have I been doing... hmmm not much! It's all been about the little man.

By definition a Multi-tasker is  'one person to perform two or more tasks simultaneously' that's what I'm good at (and actually the more tasks the better) but give me a single task I need to create other things to multi-task around the original item.... either that or I'll catch up on sleep LOL and then burn the midnight oil getting said project done by deadline.

What I have done is managed to conquer Master Z's 4th birthday which seemed to go on forever! 

Firstly, as his actual birthday fell on a Saturday, there was Friday Monster Cupcakes at school by request. Then on the actual Saturday that he turned 4 we purchased a beautifully designed and in no way tacky Angry Birds cake from Polar (:-) 

Then as I wasn't quite organized this year, his actual birthday party with all his school friends  was the Sunday a week later (two days ago) with a full Dinosaur theme. (yes... my name is Trini... and I'm a partyaholic!)

Me thinks he may be confused next week when there is no sugar celebration revolving around him. 

Sadly, I've not to my routine 'Shaky Shake' in a little while, since Oz actually, due to knee issues (and maybe a slight overdose on sugar)  I've been out of the loop for a while so finding the motivation to get there is hard . . but I've booked myself in for a session tomorrow (YAY!?!)  and from there I know it will get easier. I have to get back into it as Mr is now putting me to shame in his Dry Months and daily exercise that he has been rocking.

Sneak peak though...
 I'll be in March's Finder Magazine with an interview on the shaky shaky plate:

OK back to it.... till next I post

❤ For the Sweet tooth in you ❤

ok... I'm thinking it's about time to resurrect this tired sleeping blog . . . that's if there is anyone still there interested to listen. (??!!??)

I've finally got my laptop back (and working- woo hoo!) and have recently been reminded that there was this little space where I used to vent my thoughts, document my somewhat insane passion for parties and basically have a little outlet for rants on pretty much whatever.

Now it's been waaaay too long between rants to catch you up on everything - so much has happened as you can imagine, but I thought I would make my re-debut into the blogging world by showcasing some of my CAKES!

I'm often asked about cakes, and please let me stress that I do not wish to make cakes for a living, these are amateur and purely for my own pleasure (although I have made a couple and been compensated for my labour) But I really wanted one place that I could have photos of past works... this is not quite all of them over the years... but it's a enough to make their own post.

I have dug my own grave as far as my children are concerned, they now spend months trying to come up with intricate details for what they want on their cakes. Some days I wish that I had just stuck to the Woman's Weekly birthday cake book, but these feelings are very short lived when I see their eyes light up and them announce proudly that their mum makes the best cakes in the world (yeah a little biased I think, but I'll take it)  I even had the embarrassing moment when asked by Master 4 (now 7) why I didn't make the cake at a friend's party he was attending, not so subtly announcing that the standard of the cake was not quite up to his standards.

So enough already - below are some of the pictures that I have been able to find over the years.

As you can see, many of them had their own themed party to go along with the cakes, Miss S Rockstar Party, A Fluro 18th party, Fairy Party, Soccer Party(ies . . .yes recycled that theme :-), Rubix Cube 40th (that was so fun Miss Clare!) Master J's Roman Gladiator party, Magician Party, Superhero party, Miss S's very girly Sleepover, Mrs J's Angry Birds, Joint Master J & Master L's I-Fly Party, Princess Party, Vet party..... (as previously blogged)

Enjoy...
