Baby Book and Fondant Adventures

I can't believe it has been a whole month since my last post! Since we've last met...

 

I've been experimenting with cake decorating:

My sister-in-law has introduced cake decorating to me and we had an experiment with fondant and decorating evening. I tried this non-cook fondant (a Better Homes and Gardens recipe) but...let's just say I don't think it's the kind they use on Ace of Cakes.

 

I've been scrapbooking:

I've completed the baby scrapbook. It was a one year birthday present. This is the page I left blank for baby's momma to add a picture from the party too. 

SmugMug

In an effort to tie projects together I finally created a SmugMug site to house all the pictures that hang on the walls of FD Subs.

I've had quite a few customers ask me about the pictures over the years and if I sell them. Finally, three years later I uploaded them and added some other local flavor pictures to the site. I then pointed the SmugMug site to http://photos.fdsubs.com to tie it altogether. Hopefully, the Ewing-ites will enjoy the photos.

 

Baby Scrapbook Update: I've gotten so much of it done! It needs to be finished before this Saturday, so this might be record time that I've begun and finished a scrapbook. I think it's coming out great, of course it could help that the baby in all the pictures is just adorable haha.

Grand Reopening

Busy, busy, busy! I've been helping the husband for the past few weeks getting ready for his grand reopening.

 

We created new menus and had a sandwich board sign out front with helium balloons.

 

 

 

Gave out free samples during lunch, which included buffalo chicken salad wraps. I probably ate half of the tray myself.

 

 

And of course we had balloons from the Thumann's vendor. All in all it was a success, but of course we can never have too many customers! The husband has many more ideas I am helping him plan into action for FD Subs so my "makes" have been put on hold for the time being (although I did start that baby scrapbook for my friend, more on that soon.)  

 

Socialnomics

I know it's an arts,crafts,etc blog but a friend just sent me a great video on YouTube. Being a sucker for facts I thought it was super interesting and being that I'm blogging I felt it was relevant.   A few facebook stats I've heard before but many other social media facts were new to me. I'm pretty sure I will be reading this book. Check out the Socialnomics video for yourself.

Unprepared

I can't believe it. I went to Waterfront Park and South River Walk Park in Trenton today to take some pics. I brought my dog for some outdoor fun and Dan came with to also check out the scene. I get there, take my first shot and its not focusing. What? What's going on? Oh, I see I forgot to put the battery in after charging!! What a rookie move.

Skip to 2 hours later, I'm going to take a few pics of the West Trenton Train Station for FD Gallery, er I mean FD Subs and I take a pic and look at the display. What? What's going on? I get the dreaded NO CARD message. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I typically carry a spare card in my camera bag but I decided to just grab my camera. FML.
