What NOT to do

Much to my dismay, my perfect job is NOT baking cakes! It may be sewing aprons, and it might be home decor, but I can for sure rule out cake decorating!!! Enjoy the pictures, they are good for a few laughs:)


Picture of my 2nd attempt at baking a cake... I got the idea from Williams-Sonoma to make a donut cake. I think I will try one more time, hopefully third times the charm:) Maybe it just needed better sprinkles!










The best letter of the alphabet! I went to Michael's and bought a boring letter "K" and ended up with a masterpiece! haha. this will eventually be hung in my new apartment:)







For all the cooking I have been doing I sewed an apron complete with pleats and buttons! I made my Aunt Marge one for Christmas.




Stay tuned for more jobs that I can rule out!

Have a great weekend!

Love,

Katie

Katie's Latest Adventures

If you thought my adventures were over, think again! They have only just begun:)

I am now beginning the ADVENTURES OF BEING HOME!

After being back from Australia for exactly 30 days I am proud to say my resume is updated and ready to be sent out! The fun begins with the job hunt. Now my days consist of searching for the PERFECT job. What is the perfect job? Maybe it's sales, maybe it's marketing.... ?!?!?!?!?

In my temporary retirement I have had some time to search for what truly makes me happy. And when I am not daydreaming of the perfect job or the perfect apartment (don't get me wrong my parents are cool, but I need some twenty-somethings), I have taken up cooking, baking and sewing! Who knew that sewing an apron was so fun:)

My inspiration comes from my friend Amy, check out her AMAZING blog here for crafty tips and inspiring thoughts http://amycrowle.blogspot.com/ . Amy has so many fabulous ideas and I hope that her perfect job would be to open a Bakery/Boutique:) I would buy ALL of her creations including the cakes and cupcakes she makes for events!

It is my goal to keep up with my craftiness when I come out of retirement. I hope that I will be able to share my hobbies the way that Amy has!

So from here on out you will get an update on the Life of a Gibbs Girl and my adventure out of retirement!!
