More than a Mouthful...

...I tend to bite off more than I can chew. I guess people think I make great cupcakes so I have had 3 requests. Two for this Saturday and one for December 6th. This is great but I can't just make a cupcake and throw some frosting on it. It has to be spectacular...amazing...stupendous! I get an idea in my head and I just have to make it work. I end up spending more money than they are worth but it's so much fun for me. I love it when I can make something for someone and they are absolutely wow-ed. It really gives me a feeling of accomplishment and self-worth.
My full-time paying job gives me that on occasion but not as often as I'd like. Working with numbers is difficult for me as it is and sometimes I feel inadequate because it takes me so long to find my 'ah-ha'. But, I get it eventually. My job is great but not quite as much fun as making cupcakes. Isn't that just like any 'job'? As soon as it gets the 'job' label it's no fun at all...

Stay tuned...I'll be starting a new blog all about cupcakes / cakes.
