Guest Diva Nicole Dennis and Whatever It Takes

Blurb:

It takes an eye-opening talk for Riley Gordan to realize there’s something wrong in his twelve-year relationship with Conor Flemming. He creates extravagant events for same-sex proposals and weddings to over-the-top holiday parties, but he never considered one for Conor and him. Busier than ever, he realized his time with Conor had shrunk. He decides to use his event planning skills and put them to work to rekindle the spark.

Conor Flemming creates extraordinary cakes for anything from a cancer survivor’s celebration of life to a same-sex wedding, but never one for himself. When it comes to his life with Riley, he knows it’s failing, but not sure where it all went wrong. The silence hurts and worries him. Until a flurry of text messages changes the situation.

When craftiness goes beyond the pages

Some of you who follow me (Lia Davis) on Facebook and my author blog know I'm about to be a grandmother again. Hayden Thomas is due to arrive November 21. Although I'm predicting he comes a little earlier.

Saturday was my daughter's baby shower so I took Friday off from my authorly duties to be crafty in another way. Below are the items I made.

A diaper cake. This was my first one. And I think it turned out pretty cute. 

Purse charms to go with the party favors. 

Hair bow for the mom-to-be

My friend, who helped host the shower at her house, made the cake (we were up until pass midnight on Friday playing with the fondant to get the bow right). 

And the blue velvet cupcakes, which my friends daughter decorated.

We had fun and it was nice taking the weekend off to spend with friends and family. But it's Monday and time to get back to work. i'm refreshed and ready to lit up my keyboard. Have an amazing week!
