3 Day Weekend!

I had the pleasure of enjoying a 3 day weekend (Thur-Sat)!!! It was packed full of fun and exciting things!!! Thursday: I had a freelance interview and ran into some MCAD friends, Tim and Ash (!). I met up with Brent for a bite at Lions Tap, before going to see COHEED & CAMBRIA!!! I think I orgasmed when they came to play an encore! My high school friends Marisa and her BF, Matt was there too, it was nice running into them. Friday: Early walk with Christina to get groceries that we needed for making cupcakes for Anna's 1st Solo Art Show (during Art-A-Whirl). We made Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes AND Champagne Cupcakes, I'll put both recipes on my baking blog, hbDesigns Cupcakes. Both were a huge hit, I got the Vegan thumbs up from Raighne, one of the owners of 2D Cloud Studio, where Anna's show was being held. After the show's reception, a handful of us grabbed some Japanese food at Kikugawa, near the river. And last, but not least, Christina and I finished off our Friday night by doing some dirty/cheap screen printing. I'll make a tutorial for this in my next blog posting. It was a lot of fun and very worth it for the price of materials. I'm happy to take requests for a reasonable price. Thanks to Christina for putting up with me for over 24 hours!!! And thanks to everyone else for the awesome weekend. Photos, photos, photos to share with you all the fun!!!

Now, I know what you're thinking, "Heather, what about Saturday?" I used Saturday for sleeping in, relaxing and enjoying some time to myself. ^_^.

No Ice Cream May


During the month of May, I will not be eating any ice cream. No reason at all, but there are benefits. I have not been able to start my Helen/Heather Project because the boxes of recipes are in storage, but at least in this way I can still work towards a healthier me.

Craftstravaganza

Today was Craftstravaganza!!! Marisa and I had a fun time seeing all the jewelry makers, clothing designs and plushies! OMG, the plushies! Makes me want to start back up on my own collection soon.


The purses are handmade by Jenna Lou from Mankato, MN! I just love both of them. MOPEDS!


These cute little cupcake magnets are made by Giraffe. They also make LOST coasters!

The small mirror and buttons come from Book by J-Me.

And the 'stash is from Gentry Night Studios.
