Orange October

UgH!! I've been horrible lately! I haven't posted since October 1st? Shame on me. Life has been busy. Work has been busy since it's the end of the quarter, I traveled to Vermont for a wedding and, most importantly, THE GIANTS ARE IN THE WORLD SERIES!! This is serious stuff people. I've been glued to the TV and have been engulfed in Giants fever. Phrases like, “Fear the Beard”, “Let Timmy Smoke” and “Giants Baseball: Torture” have been spilling out of my mouth all month long. It’s been a thriller and we are only 2 games away!!

So, in honor of the magnificent San Francisco Giants, I have devoted my Halloween activities to the Giants and Orange October. First off, My friend Brenda is a DIE hard Giants fan. I mean, no one loves the Giants like her. So, I went to her house to help her and her siblings carve pumpkins and we HAD to dedicate our pumpkins accordingly. This is the result.

Also, her lovely younger sister carved a scary, mean face. Appropriate? Yes, because we are going to scare those Texans far, far away.  

Other Halloween activities that turned into Giants mania? CUPCAKES!!

Here are a few of my favorites up close and personal...

LET TIMMY SMOKE!!!

FEAR THE BEARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, they are amazing. Enough Said. A few girl friends came over for a Glee/Cupcake decorating party. It was magical and the results couldn’t have been better. Well I hope you all enjoyed this long post! I feel like I had to make up for lost time. I will be trying to post more photos soon! Oh, and as always, more photos are viewable on my Flickr.

Cupcakes and Sprinkles

Did I mention that I LOVE cupcakes? They are a passion of mine. I love to bake them but I love eating them even more. Unfortunately, this isn't a cupcake that I baked, this is from a bakery in Connecticut called Crumbs.  Don't you want to take a bite?

A Little About Me!

My name is Natalie. I'm a small town girl living in the big (well, really small) city. I adore cupcakes!

I get inspiration from the people and things around me. I love the randomness of life and how unexpectedly people and situations happen.  I admire the unexpected beauty in things. I feel like you can really capture an image in B&W. There is something pure and innocent to it, yet it leaves you open to possibilities. Architecture and landscapes tend to take my breath away. Puppies and animals are a weakness of mine. I enjoy photography because it’s lively and free. There are no rules, no limits and no boundaries.
