Ah, sweet




Aww. These are the first cupcakes I made! I wasn't really into baking, I preferred cooking - things like chili and Rachel-Ray-style comfort food. Then my best friend gave me these cute-as cupcake papers and the tiered display and I never looked back! I love love love cupcakes!
(they were delicious, by the way - mocha swirl with buttercream icing)

Femmes Fatale





I love film noir. I love the characters, I love the settings, I love the dialogue... But my favourite part of any film noir is the femme fatale. There is such a strength about all of them, whether they are intentionally deceptive or not, and the way they lead men into danger by beating them at their own game? Go chicks!

By the way, I uploaded the extra gigantic version of the second picture, so click on it and save to use as a desktop wallpaper.

Pin-ups




Two ATCs made for a pin-up girls swap.

Home Sweet Home


I knew I had to use this magazine clipping in something as soon as I found it. It was too big for an ATC but perfect for the focal point of a postcard. I textured the background with inked bubble wrap and corks. The chick slightly creeps me out... but in a good way!

Icing goodness


Mmmmm... creamy vanilla buttercream icing.... Deliciously bad for me!

Twinchies Galore!










Twinchies are so much fun to make, and are very quick... I can make five or six at once, very satisfying for my short attention span!
