Cake Class

My new favorite thing is officially cake decorating. I've been really into making fancy cakes ever since I went to college- but never had time to actually take a class on how to decorate them. I just finished a 4 week beginners course and am so excited to move onto the more advanced!

Happy Birthday to Me!!!!!

My favorite things about my birthday:
-talking to family all day on the phone
-Doug making me a really fancy dinner
-decorating my own birthday cake at my cake decorating
class and watching it fall apart on the way home
-getting a really pretty framed mirror to hang over our marimba

My Senior Project

This is officially my last semester at BYU and I'm SOOOO excited to be done!

I don't know how I got so lucky, but some how I convinced my professors to let me work on a project I've been dreaming about for a long time and count it as my Senior Project. I'm so excited for it!

The plan was inspired by the fact that when you plan a wedding you are

a) supposed to automatically love ribbons, doves and hearts as a decorating motif and
b) spend WAY too much money

So my idea is to make a website with a bunch of wedding invitations that are designed to appeal to people with all sorts of different styles. Then the idea is to have the invitations available on two levels. One, you can order them to be printed by a professional printer. This will make them cost about as much as normal. BUT you'd also have the option of buying just the file (like a pdf image) of your invite and then I'll have links to tutorials so you can print them from home. That way you can still have pretty things even on a small budget.

Anyway, so my Senior project is to learn about web design (and as I do, put this site together) Right now I'm still definitely in the early learning stages, but I have a website and while there isn't really anything on there yet, hopefully every few days it'll get a little more put on it! Here's the link-

jessicageorgedesign.com

I'm also thinking of putting some free downloads on there too. Like, maybe some really pretty designs that you can just print out and use as really fancy wrapping paper or fancy place cards or....something... I'm trying to think of fun things that can still fall under the 'wedding' theme of the site. If you have any ideas let me know!

The Pinata

Just a couple weeks ago Doug and I got back from Ohio where we spent the holidays with my family. The Ohio Staceys aren't really big on traditions. In fact, I can't actually remember a tradition that we did when we were little that still exists... but about 7 or so years ago we made one up and it has stuck as the one and only thing that must be done when the entire family gets together.

The Rules:
Destroy the pinata using NO type of bludgeoning object.

Here's how it went this year.

We have a blog!!!

Hooray! We've started blogging! As noted in our title... we're not very exciting people...so our blog... well... it's gonna be great!
