The crappy compass that didn’t hold the pencil tightly created a messed up torus mandala…I tried again today with much more success…foreshadowing to next post!
Trial run using a Wilton Cupcake Cake pan…it worked great!! The instructions at https://blog.wilton.com/how-to-make-a-giant-cupcake/ said to use a dense cake and the carrot cake recipe from my old cookbook worked awesome!
I’ll post a pic of the cake smash in a couple of days – should be fun!

Whoops, forgot to post this yesterday!
I’ve been doing most of my posts for FB, IG, and websites on my phone, late in the evening when I should be in bed – not a good plan! As in no plan is a bad plan!
Time to start scheduling I think – then following through on it!
Typically when I write in my planner it’s to log what I did the day before. It has value for looking back to when I need to remember something but it’s not a plan for the day.
I started the backwards planner because in the past when I’ve written the dreaded To Do lists or action steps towards goals they didn’t get completed, then I felt like I failed.
I’m dedicated to completing the Creative Challenge and the Clear the Clutter challenge at http://aleapintolife.com/ so it’s time to start planning out my days a little more.
