Good morning ruffles.

Sorry…i was a bit distracted by looking at all of these ruffled camera straps.

I am so excited this morning to tell you a bit about my newest sponsor and her straps….

Shey B …who’s also knows as Camera Strap Girl started making these when in 2008…

she was frustrated with her own strap and out of it…she formed these absolutely adorable

and totally chic straps.

This is my favorite….the turquoise.

I was chatting with bryan this morning and showing him these straps …because i

just put one on my ever growing birthday list.

Yes…i do not have one. Shame on me.

I also put this pleated ruffle one on my list.

*wink.wink*

Shey B has so kindly offered to giveaway a camera strap today….

so you can carry your camera around all the while looking totally cute.

They look very comfortable too.

I’ll take one of each Shey….let me know if you need my addy.

Even though i am not the most creative bakeress in town…..i do love it.

I don’t even think bakeress is a word…but now it is….because on Friday…

Bakerella….got to meet me…..bakeress.

Of course she rolled her eyes at me when i gushed and slobbered all over her

as i told her how much i love her cake pops.

I am a faithful reader of her blog…and follow her on twitter…so when she

announced that she was heading out on the road for a book signing tour…

and chicago was on her list…i knew i had to make it out to meet her.

Except on Friday…i didn’t have anyone to watch Fin for me.

So..i did what any other normal mother would do.

I put his lunch on the table….his backpack next to the clock…and set the alarm

so that at noon….he could walk himself up to the bus and go to afternoon kindergarten.

Easy Peasy.

Except i know for a fact that Child Protective Services watches me.

With all the crank 911 calls my children make…and the Trader Joe incident last year…

i thought twice about leaving him…

and called my neighbor to watch him.

Thank goodness she pulled through.

I mean….what good am i if i’m sitting in jail right?

I can’t bake if i’m there….or fold laundry for my family….so it’s best if i follow the rules

of not leaving small children unattended.

I drove into the city….and walked into Williams Sonoma where the book signing was held.

I bought my books…..

one for me

one for a friend

and one for you.

Bakerella gave a small demonstration….then answered a bunch of our questions…

and went on to sign our books.

When she signed my book…she looked at me and said…

oh…i know you….you’re bakeress.

Alright….

she didn’t really say that.

She smiled at me though….so that should count for something.

So….

i have an extra book that i got signed for one of you.

I wish i could have gotten LOTS of them…

but until my alter ego….bakeress…gets noticed and starts making oodles of money…

then i can get all of you a book.

But for now….i can only afford one.

One is better than none…right?!

All you have to do is comment for a chance.

Actually….just tell me your favorite dessert to eat…..

{and by saying cake pops…doesn’t get you extra credit}

p.s. You can see if she’s coming to book signing near you {here}.

p.p.s. Tell her Bakeress sent you.
