Another Batch of Cupcakes...

So, I had to make those annual Cherry Chip Valentine cupcakes to take to work...and give to a couple special folks! YUM-O! I think it might be time to step it up and start experimenting with some 'gourmet' or unusual cupcakes...maybe in exotic flavors or with fillings, etc.!

Thank God It's Saturday?

Whew...what a week! I spent the first few days this week in Longview/Kelso teaching a Homeland Security class. What a blast I had. My co-instructor was great fun, and I really enjoyed meeting and spending time with her, as well as the the rest of the cadre - including the 3 FDNY firefighters who were there to teach as well, one of which is featured in this Elmo book (how funny, huh?). I'm so glad I did it, and can't wait to do it again!

One Week and Counting...

Can you believe Valentine's Day is only one week away? I swear before you know it we will be trimming the tree again! Well, first there's Spring and Summer :) As I'm running around getting ready to head out of town, I had to stop and quickly (well...quickly for ME) make my nieces their Valentines so I could get them in the mail before I leave. One looks kind of familiar, huh? Hope they like them.

TGIF

Whew...what a week. Thank goodness it's Friday! Here's a couple little cards whipped out...can you tell Brown and Pink is one of my favorite color combinations??

Superbowl Sunday!

Happy Superbowl everyone! I whipped up some of my 'famous' cupcakes to take over to the Butler's for out big Superbowl party. Along with most of the gals there, I'll be munching, chatting, and just watching the commercials!

Cupcakes, Cupcakes...

Happy 'Bee'-Lated

Happy Birthday Sharlyn

This morning, I met Billie, Kim, Paten, and of course Sharlyn for a birthday breakfast at Cousin's. Happy Birthday Sharlyn!!

Happy Birthday Troy

Last Saturday was T-Roy's birthday. We all gathered at the Butler's to feast on a dinner of semi-homemade Asian foods and to watch Gran Torino. Even though we are not a very exciting bunch, I am greatful for the great group of friends I have!!

Thanks Snow Much

I can't believe two months have come and gone in a flash. Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's are only memories...and now back to the norms of everyday life. This is a Thank You card I made for a few folks to express gratitude for wonderful Christmas Gifts. Hopefully this will get my juices flowing, and the creativity will return, and you will see many new posts soon!
