Cake

 I had a customer come in to order a cake. They asked if I had anything with dinosaurs which I didn't. I suggested that they get little toy dinosaurs that they could put on the cake and I could create a landscape for said dinosaurs. They liked that idea so we went with it.

This is the cake I made.

I wasn't there when they picked it up so don't know what they thought of it but I was told they liked it.

Entertaining myself at work

 On Sundays I'm the only manager in the store. I have to do double duty taking care of my bakery work and also covering the office and giving the cashier a break and lunch.

It gets pretty boring up at the register sometimes. The one day I took out my phone and started randomly taking pictures. It was either that or go totally bananas.

You might not carrot all but I took another picture down the produce case.

Then one final one of Bert on this bag of mandarin oranges.

I goofed off back in the bakery too when I ran out of work to do and was covering the deli persons break. I did a little drawing while I waited for her to come back.

Happy Labor Day

 It's Labor Day here in the U.S.  A day to celebrate the American worker. It's also a day to say goodbye to summer with picnics. My intentions were to repost an old Labor Day post but it was too much effort and well, it's labor day and who wants to labor?

So instead I have a quick, no frills, post. I hope everyone has a wonderful day no matter what you choose to do.

I do have the day off and plan on just hanging out around the house doing a whole lot of nothing. I also have tomorrow off so it'll be nice to have two days in a row off.

Out with the old and in with the new.

Welcome September. You would think by the title I was referring to starting a new month. Nope, I have a totally different subject for today.

 Some time ago I purchased a craft cart to hold my Cricut machine and to store craft supplies in the Ann cave. It has served it's purpose well but it is a bit on the ugly side in the room. 

While browsing Amazon one day I found a shelf unit that matched the other ones I purchased for my desk area. It was the perfect solution and it was on sale at a really good price at only $45. I had just received a $200 rewards Mastercard for switching my internet provider so it was an easy decision to purchase 

Here is the before

And here is the after

I'll still use the other cart to hold craft supplies but now it's over on the other side of the basement and out of sight.
