Ice Cream Soda

Cherry On Top

Who's Your Boyfriend?  I forgot!

Is it A, B, C, D, E, F, G......?


Do remember singing that jump rope song as a kid?

I completely forgot about it until my daughter was skipping rope on the back patio while singing it.

Of course, we had to make Ice Cream Soda Cherry on Top Cupcakes!

Ahhh....Memories.  Days of jump ropes and silly songs!

Chocolate cupcakes with cherry cola frosting.  Top it with sprinkles and a cherry and you have got yourself a cupcake sister!

Now, off you go.  Jump rope with your little girl today!

Goodbye School ... Hello Summer!

Hooray!  I am so excited the kids are FINALLY out for Summer Break!

I love living in Southern Utah, the kids are out of school before Memorial Day, the weather is fabulous and screams "HELLO SUMMER!  COME AND PLAY!"

This year my Little's (they really aren't little anymore - soon to be 4th and 2nd graders) wanted to take a little treat to their classmates.  A treat that said something like

GOODBYE SCHOOL
HELLO SUMMER!

  I remembered I had about 50 baby food jars!  Perfect for storing little treats.

Want to make some for your Little's?

Here is what you will need:

Recycled baby food jars
Ribbon and twine
Printable Labels - You can use mine if you want too!
Spray Paint
Mod Podge
M&M's or Skittles

Print labels and Mod Podge labels to clean jars.  Spray paint lids black.  Fill with M&M's or Skittles and tie with ribbon and twine!


HAPPY SUMMER!!!

Who loves a birthday?  I do, I do!

Seriously though!  Who wouldn't?  What is a birthday without cake?  And what is cake without FROSTING?  So, here is the latest SPRING cake and cupcakes for some fabulous birthdays I have had the privilege of being apart of!








These sunflower cupcakes are to DIE for.  My sister ordered these for her boss.  She told me requested:

"SOMETHING CHOCOLATEE, LEMONEE, AND MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A SUNFLOWER....PLEASE."

Chocolate Cupcake, Lemon Custard Filling and Lemon Frosting decorated into a Sunflower. 

Simply Beautiful!

Shutter Up

Really.


I LOVE Char over at Crap I've Made.  She is hysterical.  And, I'm in love with these. 
I want to track her down and take them.  But that would be mean.  So I won't.

I will, I must. MAKE. MY. OWN.

I headed out to Habitat ReStore and found my own set of of shutters. 

Only FOUR DOLLARS.

Yeah, I'm that good.

Stay tuned... Those bad boys are in the works and will be posted soon!
