Crafter. Baker. Apron Maker. Award Winning Cookie Creator.
I would probably call this the post I never planned. But I have so much to say and so many emotions that I want to just blurt it out there. This morning I spent time chatting with the casting department from the ABC series Shark Tank. You know the one. The one where entrepreneurs bring [...]
I thought it would be fun to post the Q&A session I had with Heather from Mama Dish, otherwise known as the getting to know you, getting to know all about you session. I really liked her use of questions and thought you might be interested in the answers. Or not. Or whatever. Read on. [...]
Ya’ll, I had so much fun getting to know my craft buddies that I want you to know them, too! And to see the goodies we exchanged. A few weeks ago, Lindsay from Two Bobbins Later organized a crafting swap amongst Blissdom attendees. Blissdom is the social media/blogging conference we’re attending in oh, 2 days. Eeeek!!!! [...]
I have the sweetest and most talented friends. And they’re the funniest. Sandy from Firefly Confections and I joke that we need to start a support group called “Buttercream Anonymous”. Sometimes our text messages go a little something like “My name is Aimee, and it’s been 2 days since my last bite of buttercream” to which [...]
Last year I watched with envy as cute girls set up cute booths and sold their cute handmade goodies at the Blissdom Handmade Marketplace. At that moment I said “self, you need a cute little booth with cute little goodies- make it happen next year!”. So when the vendor applications went out, I handcrafted my words just [...]

I did my engagement photos at the former Tezcuco Plantation in Burnside. I married in 2010 at Loyd Hall Plantation in Cheneyville. I spent my last anniversary at Nottaway Plantation. And [...]
It’s my birthday, ya’ll! If you follow me on Instagram then you know I’ve been celebrating all week. I truly believe that each day we are granted here on this earth is a gift, and when it’s birthday time one day is hardly sufficient. I plan on making a strawberry margarita pie tonight and if you [...]
If there were ever a time you might need an over the top, satin ruffled, monogram bearing, super froo froo apron that time is ….. Mardi Gras!! {I have no idea why gold embroidery thread ALWAYS photographs yellow. It’s so not yellow in person} I have been just dying to make a frilly apron for [...]
I didn’t really make New Year’s resolutions. Instead, I sat down with a quite exhaustive lists of goals for 2013. I even ordered a necklace with my “word”, and will post more about the meaning once it comes in. Part of those New Year’s resolutions/goal planning is to embrace 2013 as the year that I step outside [...]
Everyone has a go to recipe for tailgates and football watching parties. Mine is the spicy corn dip. No cooking. No baking. No complicated ingredients. No fuss. No frills. Just get in your belly yummy. I’m asked for the recipe every single time I serve it, and I’m almost embarassed with just how easy it [...]
