So I just finished a 4 hour baking frenzy, trying to get all of the cupcakes done that I volunteered to make for my kids school fall festival! I love baking and too much so love giving away cupcakes, but these mid-week sessions in our little kitchen just stress me. I think it's more of a reminder that I need to find a kitchen space that I can rent and work in. I also need another Kitchen Aid mixer and extra bowls and paddles. I wonder if Santa would agree with me??
I put together a cute little gift to send off to someone as a surprise, I cant wait to post pics of it, but I will wait until after they at least see it first!
I'm about to go to bed for a few hours, and tomorrow, Im going to try to come up with a schedule of how I think I want my postings to flow. And then I have to squeeze in that schedule into my over-crowded existing schedule! I really don't know how us working mother's do it!
Ya'll have a good night!

Introduction....
Believe it or not, my mind is completely blank! I have been agonizing over what to post as my introduction. It seems silly and I'm still in shock that I was short of words!
So let's just get to the point. My name is Holly Johnson, I have fallen in love with baking and crafts! If my mom was dead she would be rolling over in her grave. Thank the good Lord, she is still alive and kickin' and I would like to think she is proud that her little girl has FINALLY taken up one of her passions.
It was nothing short of a miracle that I took up these hobbies. You see, I was a single mother of 3 wonderful kids (Collin, Sydnee and Gavin) and 1 chocolate Lab named Meg. When out of nowhere (the neighbors yard actually) came my knight in shining armor Joby and he swept me off my feet and promised to love me and my crazy hectic life, forever and ever! Fast forward 1 1/2 years, 4 kids (I gained my precious loving step daughter Destiny, and Joby got my 3), and all of a sudden I had a wedding to plan.
As if I wasn't busy enough with my full time job as an Accountant, my 24/7 job as a mother, cook, maid, chauffeur, referee and anything else my family needed, I decided that I wanted to plan and make everything for our special day. Yep, I did everything (with the help of my wonderful Mom and new Mother-in-Law).
In the process I learned that I love baking, cupcakes specifically, and I am actually pretty good at it. I also love making things (bunting, invitations, etc.), I adore blue mason jars, hay bales, quilts, candy buffets, and DIY weddings!
So after the wedding was over, I decided I had to keep on baking and I would love to offer my sevices helping people plan meaningful and personal weddings and parties. So that is how Holly Lolly Candy Buffets came to be!
So please stay tuned! Candy buffets, cupcakes and party ideas, what could be more fun??
