Day 69, 70 & 71/100 Birthday Cake, Mandala and Photo App

What a cutie!! No real smashing took place – maybe too full from dinner or overwhelmed with all the festivities. The carrot cake was a hit though!

Sunday night I used a pigma graphic to outline this mandala.

I also got a new phone – Huawei P30 Pro…a bit of a learning curve! And having to sign in on all the apps is a real pain!

The camera is great, but I didn’t take any stills of the cake smash so I had to download an app to get the pictures above.

I used Video to Photo Frame Grabber.

It’s not a huge creative endeavor but I’m counting it for today.

Day 66&67/100 Cupcake Cake and Torus Mandala

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.
