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:
BEST. IDEA. EVER.
This is such a cool idea. You are really creative.
I love the panda cupcake!
You are so creative! The frosting on the cupcakes makes me want to lick the screen :]
What a great idea! Your cupcakes are so cute! How great that you’ve lived in so many places.
I play tennis for fun too 🙂 and when I say fun, I mean chasing after tennis balls and laughing with my friends because we can’t play for beans =P
What a beautiful way to display the life and times of a Chocolate covered Vegan! You really are an angel arn’t you?

I am so jealous of your athletic ability. I’m terrible at tennis! I can dance and follow a workout routine just fine, but when it comes to most team sports, I’m hopeless 😉
