Fall is around the corner

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Labor Day holiday. We enjoyed time with family and eating WAY too much good food and too much sweets. I am definitely in need of a water cleanse to flush out the junk! Our town had a Labor Day fireworks display set up for the whole town and it was AWESOME! We dont normally have a display for the Labor Day holiday. It rained so much during the real summer months, especially in July and our 4th of July fireworks display was postponed for September. I think they threw in a bit of extra fireworks because it seemed to have lasted longer.

The past 4 years we were not able to really enjoy the fireworks because Constance would freak out and cry the entire time. She would just get scared and not want to be there any longer. I told myself this year we would try ear plugs as I realized that she has sensitive ears. Worked like a CHARM! At first she started panicking a little because I didnt have the ear plugs ready when the lights started going out. Once I had them in her ears, she was amazed by them and thought they were awesome! I caught her clapping a few times. Finally I was able to just hold her in my lap and just look up at the sky with her - LOVED IT!

How did you celebrate your Labor Day weekend?

P.S. I shared one free printable on my facebook page. Stay tuned for the next one sometime this week!

Hello New Name!

Hey everyone! OH MY, has it been a while! I took a really long time away and had some decisions to make. When I started working full time in 2011, I became occupied with so much other stuff and pushed Sweet Memories Cakery (name at the time) to the side - Until I completely pushed it away. During my "away" time, I have realized that I missed it here! I missed designing pretty invites and the whole party scene.

I had to make a decision of whether or not I would keep the cakery side or get rid of it completely. As I was thinking, I realized that cake decorating was not really a passion of mine, it was something that I could do and was good at. Dont get me wrong, I loved it while I was doing it, but I seriously could not keep up with both. I will still do baking and cake decorating for my own parties and family, just not for business and selling purposes.

With all of that being said, I came up with a new name and a new logo to freshen things up! Sweet Memories Cakery & Designs is now....... Crystal Keefer Designs!
