Teacups and Wildflowers
I am totally blessed and happy with my life. Of course there are ups and downs, but there are too many wonderful things to let anything keep me sad.
Life lately has just shown me how truly grateful I need to be for the big things like my supportive husband, perfectly healthy happy baby boy, my humble house, my working legs & arms and the smaller things like the flowers I planted outside, chocolate milk, carpet and stickers.
There are few better ways to enjoy your life than to inspire others to a appreciate theirs, too.
Here are some recent pictures of the garden and life around here lately.
This is a red poppy. I love that its such an intense color, but its less than paper-thin and fragile.
a sprig of blueberries that are coming in nicely
The strawberry plant that is roommates with the raspberry bush.
Wildflowers from the garden. Also, this is a great holder for flower. I made it with a regular teacup. The teacup I got for Mother’s Day. (this would make such a cute gift!)

New Watering Can and Flowers
Today, Shalisa and I went flower picking in my garden this afternoon. It was the perfect day to use the new watering can. This is what we came away with.
Enjoy your day!

Wonderful Family
Today I woke up to find these three Katie Brown “cozy mugs”, as I call them. Nathan surprised me with them and this great ceramic square plate to house them. I wanted one for Mother’s Day, but when we got home, the mug we thought we got wasn’t in our bags 🙁 .
But today he got me two others, along with mine, so I can have two friends over for tea! Wanna join me? ? 🙂
Chamomile anyone? <3

They are the best thing I could imagine. <3

Printable Cupcake Wrappers & Template
I was thinking about cake decorating & cupcake decorating recently. I have a huge respect for cake decorators (professional or hobbyists). I want to decorate cakes for a hobby one day when I have more time. Until then, a quick and easy way to decorate cupcakes (essentially tiny cakes) is to use cupcake wrappers.
There are a few cupcake templates online. With these templates, you can use the template to cut out cupcake wrappers from decorative card stock or scrapbook paper or print them directly onto white card stock and use my designs.
The size is for the standard cupcake size.
Supplies :
*Cupcakes in their paper cups they were baked in
*Card stock and/or scrapbook paper
*scissors
*tape or hot glue
Step 1: Print the wrappers onto card stock
Step 2: Cut out the wrappers along the outside lines.
Step 3: Attach the two ends, slightly overlapped, with tape or hot glue.
( I prefer tape just because glue around food makes me nervous)
easy peasy!
ENJOY!
