When I stand before God at the end of my life,
I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say,
"I used everything You gave me."

Cupcakes!

Not to let the loss of our cats overshadow K's birthday. We had a couple of her schoolmates and their families over on Saturday for cupcakes and pizza. We had a great time! I wanted to share the cupcake toppers with you. They were a cinch to make and can be done using any extra scrapbooking materials you have hanging around. I simply punched flowers out of scrapbook paper and used eyelets for the center. A straw is the stem with green ribbon tied for leaves. Easy peasy! And they matched her birthday banner I made earlier this month. For another cupcake idea, check these cute cupcakes out at my online friend Jessica's blog The Entertaining Kitchen. She also has many, many fantastic recipes!

  3. Just writing a quick note to say "thank you!" for stopping by my blog today and leaving a comment! I'm excited to have come across another crafty person, and you seem to have some great links on your blog as well. An etsy store is the next step in my own adventure; I might just have to pick your brain about that!
