Daddy's Girl

I wrote this poem back in 2004 for my husband, from my daughter - it hangs, framed, in his office.

Happy Father's Day, Handsome...we all love you dearly and you mean the world to us!

Daddy's Girl

Hold me in your arms, Daddy

and give me lots of love

For I've just left my heavenly home

From the skies way up above

Hold me by the hands, Daddy

and teach me how to walk

My little legs are wobbly;

I cannot yet begin to talk

Hold me on your shoulders, Daddy

up high where I can see

This great big scary world

that is so unknown to me

Hold me by the hand, Daddy

as I learn and start to grow

Skipping off to friends' and school

little by little, letting go

Hold me closer, Daddy

As I struggle to find my own way

My choices may not always be right

but love me anyway

Hold me by the arm, Daddy

as you walk me down the aisle

It's time for me to start a new life

'Tho I  hope I always make you smile

Hold me in your heart, Daddy

love me and let me go

For "Daddy's Girl" I'll always be

and I'll always love you so!

{Cake Diva}

She hates the name "Cake Diva" but I don't know what else to call her...

Isn't she great?! I {LOVE} her!!!

Bella started taking cake decorating classes in January and took about 10 weeks worth of classes. I just wanted to share a few of her cakes to showcase her talent and skill...

This first cake she made for an Accessory Swap party that I hosted at my home back in April. I told her that the only requirement was that it was "Tiffany" blue and had leopard print on it.

Here is what she started with...

And here is the finished product - it was so pretty that we hated to cut it and eat it
{but we did!}

It was the {crowning glory} of the food table...and received many oooh's and aaah's

This cake is the first cake that Bella was paid to create - it was for a friend's parent's 55th wedding anniversary. Their colors were peach and aqua and Bella used a picture from their wedding cake to recreate the flowers.

And, two days later, she created 48 cupcakes for Easter...

Next up, she is in the process of making two cakes for her Mimi and Papa's 70th birthday party...one for each. I'll post pictures of those when they are done.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my little "Cake Diva"
