Lots of Catching Up!

According to my name tag on the blog, it would appear as though my last post was.... in early December. 

Please accept my most sincere apology for that. 

We are desperately trying to get the blog up an running again, so in my own effort to restart, I'm going to go through my flickr and show you some of the photos that I've taken in the first half of the year. 
That way, I can focus all of my upcoming posts on new things that are happening :)

Do be warned, six months is a long time, and this post will be VERY long.

During the last six months I:

Molded and painted chocolates.
Chocolates, Anyone?
Babysat some adorable kids.
J & E

Forced my siblings to let me take a picture of all three of us.
I would have prefered all five, but that's like asking for daytime rain in the desert.
Remember that time I tortured my siblings?

Made myself stand in the cold for pictures in a new dress.
Silver Decorations

Turned 20 with my brother and some awesome cakes made by my mom. (Katniss: Girl on Fire for me and a little Duck Dynasty humor for my brother)
