OM nom nom nom nom!
What could be better than combining chocolate and beer? Frosting it. With cream cheese frosting. Oh, and putting it in a portable and cute cupcake form.
Last Sunday was my b-day and my friend Danielle and I made Guinness cupcakes for our friends to enjoy at my little gathering.
I [...]
Are you ready for this awesomeness?
Every year Ames has a throwback prom to raise money for American Cancer Society and this year’s theme was Night of the Living Prom. Zombies. Prom. Zombies. Prom. Prombies?
Of course, I had to cram myself into this awesome black dress I bought for last year’s prom that isn’t [...]
Yes. I am SO blogging about this. I’m trying to hold onto it as if it actually happened and wasn’t part of my random sick and twisted dream world.
I met MJ. Yes. MJ. In my dreams (of course. the man IS dead according to popular belief).
I was at one of his rehearsals for [...]
So if you didn’t get that … it’s the guitar line from Beat It. (duh)
Anywho, I’m participating in craftster.org‘s Michael Jackson “We Love the Gloved One” swap. Yes. Go ahead. Groan.
*insert groans here*
Good. Now that you’ve got that out of your system, prepare to be put in a State [...]

I opened my package and …
heeeeeee! I have to measure him now for my MJ craft swap so my partner knows what size to make his [...]
I’ve got a TON of stuff I have to do this weekend! It’s crazy, but I’m staying in and getting it done!
I’ve got a couple of paying freelance projects so I’m going to blow their minds and try to get a chunk of work done on them this weekend (one of them that’s not [...]
I had sent in an entry for the Diary 2010 Project a while back and I got an e-mail a few days ago from the organizer asking if anybody would like to do a 2nd page.
So, in the spirit of recent events and my latest re-surfaced obsession, I snagged [...]
I recently participated in a heavy metal swap on craftster.org. This was the first organized craft swap I’ve done through the site, and I think it turned out pretty well.
For those of you who don’t know, basically in a craft swap you decide that you’re going to make [...]
I realized that the official Michael Jackson site is now a memorial wall. Here’s what I wrote:
Michael, you’ve touched so many people’s lives in your short stay on this earth. You had so many gifts to share with the world. I’m glad you were able to give [...]
WARNING: There is not one cohesive thought in this post. Also – if you don’t know me very well, I am a HUGE Michael Jackson fan.
Where were you when JFK died? Where were you when Elvis died?
Whenever I heard people ask those questions I always thought that my generation’s [...]

Hi there. I'm Calee. Not Caylee. Also known as chimes or the chimes. I'm 27, a designer, a runner, a self-proclaimed fitness queen, a craftster, a foodie, a music snob — some might call me a hipster. Here's the unabridged version.
