Happy New Year!

           Happy New Year everybody! Today I was browsing on the internet for cute New Year's pics. I found this cute wallpaper! It had a little tiger with sparklers! You can find a link to it on the facebook page.
       But anyway, it made me want to make my own New Year's wallpaper. And you know what? I did! Here it is:

             What do you think? I drew it myself in 'Paint'.  This is now my wallpaper. You can use it as your desktop background too!
         Well, I've gotta go. Can't wait for fondue, meatballs, and asparagus tonight!

Dessert Exists!

          Hey everybody! Today I visited my favorite tea room, The Garden View Tea Room! (With a gift card :D) So while I was drinking my vanilla Earl Grey tea, (which was delicious,) I thought, Why not take pictures for the blog? So I did! These are two of the desserts I had.

           This is one of the tea cakes I had. There was an icing rose on top, but I ate that before I took the picture ^_^

             This is the Garden View Tea Room's signature pastry. A swan! It's a really light pastry with a white chocolate mousse filling!
         Tommorrow I might make some new T-shirts. I got a lot of inspiration today! I'll keep you all posted!

New Shirt!

           Hello everyone! Yesterday I told you that I might post some pics of my Christmas presents, so here we go! Last year, I got a cool T-shirt designer with fabric markers, a jeweler/studder, and a book of ideas. So this year I asked for a package of white T-shirts that way I could decorate them! So heres the shirt I made:

              What do you think? I'm really excited about making more shirts. Idea alert! Maybe I could make a Ballet and Bento shirt! What do you think about that? What ideas do you have about a shirt?


Here's a closer view of the shirt:

             Well, that's it for today. Be sure to come back for tommorrow's quiz and check out the new facebook page!

ANSWERS

Mostly A's: You are a master chef! The kitchen is your second home, and you love that!

Mostly B's: You're up and coming. You know your way around the kitchen alright, but sometimes it's just a little hard to get creative. Don't let the big fridge intimidate you! Just go for it!

Mostly C's: Where's the kitchen again? Even if you don't know a carrot from a parsnip, there are still tons of recipies you can make! Just start with something simple. (Like bento!) Pretty soon, you'll be an expert!



Well, that's it! Hope you guys enjoyed today's quiz!

A Great Show!

          Nutcracker season is officially over! It went great and everyone did such a nice job! All those Saturday rehersals paid off! Now it's time for a little rest before audition season. We dancers audition for summer programs. We have class tonight and on Thursday, but it's nice to have a little rest. Going almost everyday is great, but sometimes your body just needs some time to rest.
      Christmas is coming up soon too! I'm finishing decorating the Christmas tree. Instead of paper poinsettas, I decided to make Christmas lanterns. It looks really nice. Maybe I'll take a picture and show you!
         Also, just a thought, my picture (see right) is all black and white. Maybe I should color it???
