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 TOO ADORABLE!
This post is too cute! I love all of your cupcakes 🙂
i must admit..i like your blog soooo much!! since i discovered it today im like stalker 😀 but i must say..this is the most wonderful idea i have ever seen ^_^
Wow, you are very talented! What a creative idea. You’ve lived in so many cool places! I also volunteer as a dog walker at a local shelter, it is a lot of fun!
wow, i’ve never seen this post before, it’s AMAZING! so lovely 🙂
Those are the cutest cupcakes ever!
aww thank u!
I love the tennis cupcakes (and all of them for that matter) – wow those must have taken such a long time considering all the attention to detail 🙂 LOVE THEM!
Thank u!!!
I was just making one of your strawberry shortcakes cupcakes and I clicked on the link to this page…I had no idea you were a Dallas Stars fan!! That makes me so happy 🙂 sometimes I feel like the only Stars fan in Texas because hockey is so overlooked here :/ so glad to see you appreciate the sport!
I know this is an old post, but I was looking for something ‘strawberry’ and linked on over to this. It is a wonderful thing to get to experience other cultures the way you have. I was born in Germany (my mother is German, father is American and was in the Army) and lived there a few different times. I grew up in the US essentially, but we’ve traveled to so many different places all over Europe, and I was raised speaking German and keeping the German culture in tact, as much as my father would allow, within our house. I would have loved to experience something as far east as Chine or Japan…one day. 🙂 You’ve got a blessed life. 😉

OMG!!! Those r ADORABLE! Did u actually eat them?
