Tim!

Happy Birthday, Tim!

Ninja Turtles came on the scene the same year Tim did....
besides, this cake was way too cool to pass up.

We love you!

Isn't she beautiful?

Happy Birthday, Keena!

Connoisseur

Connoisseur

Main Entry: con·nois·seur
Pronunciation: \ˌkä-nə-ˈsər also -ˈsur\
Function: noun

1: expert; especially: one who understands the details, technique, or principles of an art and is competent to act as a critical judge

2: one who enjoys with discrimination and appreciation of subtleties <a connoisseur of fine cupcakes>

Okay, so I may not exactly be an expert, but I do know what I like. Yes, I’m aware that I’ve got a preoccupation with cupcakes. They’re clever little things, aren’t they?

The "classmate cupcakes" are darling, and the butterflies look so easy, even I could do that.

For Doug's first birthday I made and decorated this totally amazing Cookie Monster cake (that nearly killed me). Ohhhh how I wish I was into cupcakes then! How much easier would that have been?!

Grandma would have really liked these rose cupcakes. She loved pink roses and would often say, "They bring me peace." (Yeah, well.... anything with a glob of frosting that big would bring me peace too!)

Movie Night

Isn't this just the cutest idea ever?

Popcorn Cupcakes
for Movie Night!

(more popcorn cupcakes!)

Hush

Little Daylan checked out a book yesterday… all about sea turtles. “Mrs. Lundberg? Wanna know why I’m checking out another book about the sea?”

“Why’s that, Daylan?”

“Cause I’m gonna read it to Hush.”

“Hush?”

“Yeah. He’s my goldfish.”

“And you’re going to read him a story?”

“Yeah. I figure since he’s from the ocean, he’d like that.”

“Hush is a lucky fish.”

“Yeah.”

I just can’t seem to resist the urge to write a children’s book about Daylan and Hush. I already know the last word.

Flush.
