Lately I’ve been referring to dear old Dad as the Empire’s Art Department. It’s been so much fun working with him on designing and planning my cupcake accessory business. And I think it’s kinda funny to think about my big Texas born dad surfing cupcake websites to find ideas and inspiration.

This is the first Holiday in a LONG time that I haven’t gone crazy being away from the office. I’ve taken extended time off, almost a whole two weeks. Yes, I have checked in a few times, but not obsesevely.
