This semester, as a fun elective, I’m taking an acting class. Here were the directions for our first assignment:
“You may use any medium– song, dance, drawing, etc.– to present to the class a self-portrait. It is your opportunity to share who you are as a person. Be creative.” Pretty open-ended assignment, huh? I love projects where you get to be creative. At first, I thought about making a scrapbook.
I’ve blogged about my passion for scrapbooking, here: My life in scrapbook pages.
But then an even more creative idea came to mind:
“All About Me” Cupcakes! So here it is– my life in cupcakes:
.
I was born in England.
I’ve also lived in Philadelphia…
Japan…
China…
and Texas: 
From living all over the world, I developed an interest in learning about other cultures and languages. Fittingly, I’m majoring in Spanish.
.
I’m also very athletic. In high school, I played both varsity soccer and tennis.
I’m also very athletic. In high school, I played both varsity soccer and tennis.
I still play tennis, but just for fun.
And I’m a fervent sports-fan, too… especially when it comes to the Dallas Stars!
I’m an avid scrapbooker and love anything to do with arts-n-crafts. 
And, after taking a class in high school, I became hooked on Adobe Photoshop.
Helping others is really important to me; right now I have two charity projects: Project Pillows and AfriCards (more on those in a future post). I also am a volunteer dog-walker two days a week at a local animal shelter.
Oh yeah, and I’m a vegan.
All together now:
Oh my gosh!! This is so cute!
It must be fabulous to have lived in all those places! It seems amazing to experience all those different cultures.
Que bonito cupcakes, Katie!!
That’s so cool that you were a globe trotter and visited so many places.. there is nothing more that I would like than to to be able to travel the world!
Good luck with school and all.. lookin’ forward to the next post!
What a fabulous way to fulfill the requirements of the project–and you forgot, you are also an awesome baker and cupcake-decorator! Love the vegan one (such a cute piggie!). The frosting you use always looks so luscious–have your ever posted the recipe? 😉
Forgot to say–can’t wait to hear what the prof thought of it!
