Word (more or)less Wednesday

I've seen this funky bus all around town for several years now. It makes me smile.

Fair

At the start of the semester we hit up the Eastern Idaho State Fair in Blackfoot and had ourselves a good time!

View from the top of the ferris wheel.

Feeding the llamas at the petting zoo.

This llama legit ate all of our food.

It was a fun way to start the semester! We had lots of good food and enjoyed being together!

Cake Mania!

My old roommate, Stacy, asked me to make her a birthday cake for when she rolled into town this weekend. She's had the design picked out for months now. I like how it turned out, but it was A LOT of work. I haven't really decorated a cake since my cake decorating class ended.

She loved it, and everyone else loved it too!!

I was up late last night making the roses for the top. In total, I made 35 royal icing roses.

I used 3 batches of butter cream icing. 2 batches of royal icing, and 2 cake mixes. I think it came together nicely, and I'm kind of proud of it!
Please ignore my trashed kitchen. I've been working on this cake for most of the day, and I ran out of dish soap. It's on my to do list...

I'm a Total Girl, but...

I love these!!!


Both from Torrid, and both awesome!!

Woot!

I found these expandable racks at The Dollar Tree for $1 (duh). They are the perfect solution to my purse storage problem! I'm only sad that I waited until now to do it. I could have been enjoying them for many a semester. This frees up space under my bed so I can put the shoes I don't wear very often under there. Sweet!

FUN FACT:I found my missing Bose headphones in one of the pockets of the orange purse in the picture. I am seriously so stoked!!
