Have you seen this? Who is ready for January?

Shoebox Swap

So on Saturday I went to a Shoebox Swap for SCSers in the OR/WA area. Each participant in a shoebox swap is to prepare a card or project and provide the supplies for all participants to make it. I decided I didn't want to make a card, so instead I made a genie bag which was originally inpired by genie1314. To make a genie bag you use a paper sack and cardstock to cover it and then add whatever images or embellishments you wish. They are lots of fun to make and can be used for a variety of different things.

More Cupcakes!

Last Friday I was meeting a friend for dinner as well as her 4 children plus her cousin and the cousin's 2 children. I decided these would be kid friendly. After finally arriving after a small detour and scenic tour of downtown I finally made it. Thanks Cami and Sue for a fun evening.

I'm not sure what has gotten into me, but I'm on a cupcake kick. These are so much easier and more relaxing than making an entire cake. A few months ago I almsost sold all of my cake decorating supplies. Now I think I'm glad I held on to them.

Cupcakes!

I've been craving cupcakes for months. And I've been wanting to make some with sunflowers. My friend Emily made some last week and I was inspired to get my cake decorating supplies from storage and dive in. Here is a picture of the yellow ones. I made way more chocolate frosting than yellow, so I have some chocolate sunflowers but they are not near as pretty as the yellows.

School is in full swing. I'm only taking one class this term, but it is nice to be able to slowly adjust back into school mode. Just like I remembered from previous classes, math is gross! Just sayin'
