Big Girl Party

Announcing Potty Princess

Today was Big Girl Day for CD. She is officially potty trained so we went all out celebrating today!
First she delivered all her pull-ups to Baby S.
She doesn't need them now that she's a Potty Princess!!

Some rides at the park gave her time to work on her royal wave.

One of CD's favorite people made her the sweetest cupcakes in the most adorable inspiration-filled-personalized cupcake box. We read some of the hopes, wishes and advice on the way home. (She really could write a book! It was beautiful, kind and very touching!!) Thank you special lady!
CD could hardly wait to get home to see what the cupcakes looked like.

An excited and breathtaking "WOW"!

We are so very proud of you Big Girl!
You are indeed our Princess!!
xoxoxo

(The announcement at the top is the little card she handed out to everyone today as she announced her arrival to all... "Announcing the Potty Princess, CD!"

Kisses for Cupcakes

Little Cakes a la Saucy!

The girls were once again treated to little cakes from Saucy.
CD has Saucy curled around her little finger & is happy to exchange kisses for cupcakes!
Sassy & I agree it'd be a cute teeshirt!

These beautiful little treasures are what
we enjoyed after supper ~
one for each of us.

I tucked the girls into bed tonight, told them to have sweet dreams and think up names for each of the Little Cakes we enjoyed. They really are mini works of art!

We love your little cakes Saucy!
Anytime you want us to taste test them our Mommy will drive us over!

Thank you for my Little Cakes Saucy!

Little Cakes!!

The other night my darling 2 year old
wheeled out her luggage and said,

"Bye Mommy. Saucy's house. Make me little cakes!"

Now, I've made me some cupcakes around here and learned from the best but I guess they just aren't as good as Saucy's!! We ran into Saucy and the Fan on the weekend at the
fancy schmancy garden store downtown
while browsing for Christmas decorating ideas and I told them the story.... well just look what was delivered today!!

Little Cakes!!

She knew right away who they were from and was THRILLED!

What a lucky little girl!!
She definitely loves her LITTLE CAKES from SAUCY!

Thanks again for such a
sweet treat for our little lady!

Halloween Charm Party

I spent yesterday afternoon with a great group of crafty ladies.
Saucy & Sassy hosted a Halloween Charm Swap which was
"spook-tacular"!!

Look at all the goodies on this bracelet!! I made the Michael Jackson Thriller album cover shrink art and the little bones (made from dollar store candy) following Saucy's tutorial found here.

No Saucy event would be compete without cupcakes:

These little test tubes were embellished with rub-ons and filled
with Halloween sprinkles for our hostesses
(and one extra for a give away.)
Saucy always has prizes!

Can't wait until the next time we all get together!
You can read more about our party on Saucy's blog.
Thanks again ladies!
My bracelet is "BOO-TIFUL"!

Cupcake Saturday and A Hootenanny

It was a busy, hot afternoon of baking and frosting. It started with
good old game of hide and seek for our friends to find us... sorry
about the tour you had to take to find the kitchen!
Saucy
walked us through how to make Camo-Cupcakes and
Red Velvet Elvis Cupcakes for Father's Day.
Thank you Saucy for ALL your planning, prepping, and
hosting this great event for us!

Look how great they turned out!

CJ was thrilled to give them to Dad!

Look at the sweet card from Karen. She must have designed it to look great
with the Red Velvet Elvis cupcakes!
She is one crafty lady!!
Thank you!
(Leave me a comment so I can link back to you!)

I must admit that I was running things a little Commando there for a bit,
trying to hurry us along. Sorry ladies! You did a great job and it was nice to meet you!

I had to run off to take CJ to her final guitar lesson... a Hootenanny!
CJ's instructor Duane and his family hosted a campfire sing-a-long for all this year's students and their families. The girls had so much fun and CJ is planning what we'll be singing when we go camping! (Yes, camping Saucy!!)

It was a fun, busy, good day!!

Cupcake Saturday is Almost Here!!

If you want to join us for virtual cupcake Saturday, pop
on over to Saucy's Sprinkles!! It's going to be SWEET!

Charmed Life

How lucky I am to be able to get together and craft with a great bunch of ladies. I attended a charm bracelet party hosted by Sassy and Saucy, look at the darling little home-made Valentine from Saucy, and the cupcake and strawberry shortcake by Sassy . They both smelled like strawberry!! They are giving away one of our fabulous charm bracelets, pop over, leave a comment and they will let the lucky winner know on Tuesday.

Here are the charms that I made ~ chocolates and sugar cookies.

There was talk of learning how to use our new Christmas cameras better ... I'm up for a little Canon Workshop, just let me know when and I'll be there!
