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 so cute!
It must be fabulous to have lived in all those places! It seems amazing to experience all those different cultures.
vegannurse says
Que bonito cupcakes, Katie!!
That’s so cool that you were a globe trotter and visited so many places.. there is nothing more that I would like than to to be able to travel the world!
Good luck with school and all.. lookin’ forward to the next post!

As much as I love your cupcake posts, I’m going to have to ask you to stop because everytime I see one, I want to make cupcakes!!! Which is not necessarily a bad thing but right now I’m about to leave to travel across the country and don’t think I can bake cupcakes in my car =/

I LOOOOOOVE this post! And I love the idea of doing your life in the form of cupcakes! You are too creative for words. Every single one of those cupcakes is adorable 😀
River says
You have talent to spare! I love all the cupcakes!
They show where you were born and were you’ve lived, but what they really show is that you’re super sweet! Just like cupcakes! 🙂
I bet you were the only one that brought cupcakes to class.
Melody Polakow says

I love the Texas one for some reason. Send me a Michigan one… heh.
They remind me of merit badges. Screw the ‘Official Vegan Sash’ I mentioned before… all rewards should be edible.
