J and I had a very quiet new year's eve. My baby sis came over and we ate some good food, listened to some retro music, played games and toasted with some apple cider. It was a very fun night. And I did get a couple of pictures.
I told you it was a couple of photos. Check out my cupcake blog for these delicious Champagne and Blackberry cupcakes. They are absolutely divine!!
Thanks so much for all the comments on my garden. I'm quite proud of it and totally loving it too. It's kind of cool to go out there every day and see what's grown more or what's popped up.
Still enjoying my summer and trying to do lots of stuff before school starts again. Can you believe it's already August, it's flown by so quick.
This past weekend was a long weekend over here so, Jared was home all weekend. Which was nice. He's finally finished up the bathroom, there was only drywall left. And for the fist time in my life I got to paint. We've chosen a blue..very pretty and calm. It's called Honolulu Blue reminds us of Waikiki Beach on our honeymoon. So, we did some work around the house, and some more organizing and cleaning too. Since it looks like we will be living here for awhile, I'm trying to make our place more like a home. Have some pictures and prints that I have been collecting that I need to find some frames for so, they can be hung. And still looking for some other things to decorate with, but that will take time, got go out and do some more thrifting.
Wanted to share some scrap pages and a card I made too.
My Garden <3
My sister, Ness and my niece Naomi <3
And a card, I finally got around to making thank you cards for the kids that gave me end of the year gifts. Yes I know, procrastinator...
The scrappy pages are made with the June Studio Calico kit. And the card is leftovers.
I also decided that for the month of August I'm going to participate in a Photo A Day and so far so good. I will share once I've got one week done. This is something I hope to continue with, I've always wanted to do it too.
Also wanted to share that I've started a cupcake blog it's called Love, Cupcake I've only just started but check it out and tell me what you think..there's still more to some with it.
And I leave you with a cute photo of Nomi <3
Have a good Wednesday!!
It's been a good Mother's Day weekend!! My family had a lunch for my Mom yesterday and my sister's house. It was also her first Mother's Day so it was kind of exciting!! We had soup and sandwich. Homemade carrot soup my sister made and a salad. Along with some delicious cupcakes that I made :) It was a-lot of fun, a good day. I love my family. We got a shot of all us girls..this one will be scrap worthy for sure!!
It was hard to get a good shot with Naomi looking at us most of the time rather than the camera.
And my cupcakes....strawberry cupcakes with cream cheese frosting..they were delicious!!
And today, I was lucky enough that my Mom and Dad came over to help me with my garden. Jared got it all ready for me on Friday so, I could work on it this weekend. He was away all weekend taking a soccer coach course so, I had a-lot of help from my parents. It was awesome and fun. Lots of hard work, raking, digging and hoeing (haha). And now my veggie garden is all planted. And I still have some more room for a couple more strawberry and cucumbers. I'm excited. I need to take some photos of the beginning still, which I will post. Also have some sweet peas and my mom planted some of her sunflowers too so, I hope they grow.
I am so lucky to have an awesome family!! Hope your weekend was good!!
Hi everybody!! How was your weekend?! Mine was good, got lots of work done and spent some time with family yesterday. Time with the nieces is always welcome.
So, I thought I would share some of my fave things to bale. Cupcakes!! I love to bake them and eat them too of course. I have a whole list of blogs on my Google Reader dedicated to cupcakes. I get lots of ideas and inspiration from there.
These were my Easter cupcakes this year, how do you like my grass? It was hard to make and a little tricky. These are Devil's Food Chocolate cupcakes with Buttercream frosting.
I made these ones this past weekend for lunch at my parent's house yesterday. They're Chai cupcakes with Condensed Milk Icing...delicious. Chai tea is one of my faves.
These are Peppermint Mocha cupcakes with Cream Cheese frosting. I helped my sister make these to give away to friends this past Christmas. YUM!!
These are Strawberry cupcakes with Cream Cheese frosting. These are my Mama's faves.
Did I make your mouth water a little? I have to remember to start taking more photos of my Cupcakes before they're devoured!!
Thanks for stopping by!! Happy Monday!!
