Making Sally! Making Sally!
Feel free to sing the title of this post to the tune of “Making Christmas!” like I did while working on this progress. 🙂 httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKAxikZmY-0 Ever since I started making Jack I had a funny feeling I would feel the need to make a Sally to go with him. Jack was time consuming for sure,…
Big News for Jack!
If you were here yesterday you remember the conversation I had with Jack. I told him if he could be patient I’d start working on a life-size Sally to join him. He was THRILLED to say the least. He immediately ran down to my workshop to see what he could do to help speed up…
More Jack!

Barrel Cake
As previously mentioned, my daughter is having three mini celebrations for her 2nd birthday instead of one big celebration which means I get to make three different types of cakes/cupcakes. =) We did Elmo & Cookie Monster cupcakes for the first celebration, and then I decided on a chocolate & peanut butter barrel cake for…
Cookie Monster & Elmo Cupcakes
Last year we went all out and had a huge rainbow theme bash for my daughter’s 1st birthday. It was fun and we had A LOT of people attend. Since then we have moved to a very small town that is 1-2 hours away from the majority of our friends and family. This year for…
