Cupcake Poppers!

These little cupcakes are so bright and colorful and totally delish!!

These Cupcake Poppers are perfect for ANY occasion!

I am so excited to make them for my parents anniversary party 

and more celebrations in the future...

hmmm....they are perfect for a baby shower.

 I love that they are totally versatile and the colors can be switched

to coordinate with any celebration.

These are the cupcake poppers

These are a bit bigger...I was trying out new options for sizes!

ADORABLE!

Baking Extraveganza!!

The first week of my Winter Break flew by in part to all the baking I did!

My best friend asked me to make some cupcakes for her brother and husbands birthdays....

so I made my YUMMMYYYYY Half Baked Cupcakes.

These are half vanilla and half chocolate with cookie dough baked inside....heaven!

(Sorry it is upside down! I couldn't get it to turn...but you get the idea...

LOTS of J's since their names both begin with J!)

Then...my best friend asked me to make an Anniversary Cake for her Grandparents. A previous post showed a birthday cake for Grandma...and ever since then, Grandma has requested my cakes! I am very proud of this!

Flower Girl!

My sweet niece has been a flower girl two times...

once for my sister-in-law (her other aunt) and once for me!

She asked if I could turn her flower girl dresses (that she has now outgrown) into a pillow!

So I did!

Diaper Vases!

This weekend I was one of the many fabulous hostess for a friend's "Sprinkle."

(Since it is her second baby...it is a sprinkle!)

I made these amazingly adorable Diaper Vases!

Originally we were going to make a Diaper Cake, but because of space,

it didn't allow for that...so I dreamed up these babies.

Oh my, they were a hit!!!

They had different ribbon on each and had things hanging from them as well.

They really turned out beautiful!

I have a few girlfriends who just announced they are pregnant...

I can't wait to host more showers to make some more!!! :)

Hannukah Is Upon Us!

This year, Hannukah starts very early...

so of course, right after Thanksgiving, my house was decked out with Hannukah spirit!

BUT I could not find Hannukah dishtowels that I was in love with...so I made some...

And no Hannukah is complete without gifts!

I have been very busy lately making gifts for my sweet cousins.

Here are some fun ideas!

I can't wait to give them their gifts :)

Baby Scarves!!

One of my oldest and dearest friends had her baby!!!

Since they live in CT ( in the cold!) I wanted to make Gavin something warm....

so I thought of Baby Scarves

And then because it was just so darn cute...

I decided to make one for my favorite baby boy for Hannukah

Can't wait to see them both sporting their Baby Scarves :)



Happy 1st Birthday, Ethan!!

I was asked to make a 1st birthday onesie for our very good friends!

Their son, Ethan, turned 1!!

They used this onesie in their professional pictures... I can't wait to see them...

Hooray!! Marin Is Here!!!

We are so excited that our friend's received a baby girl!

So of course I went out and monogrammed the cutest little onesies!

Gobble, Gobble!!

My Favorite Holiday is just around the corner!

To celebrate I have made a Turkey for the front door...it is just as precious as my candy corn!

 HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Just Monogram Me!

A good friend needed a towel monogrammed for a new baby (who doesn't love new babies!)

So she dropped this adorable Prince Hooded Towel off....and I did what I do best!

My Goddaughter is 4!!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SWEET LANE!!

Of course she is ALL girl and I love it!

She is always so much fun to shop for....this time I got creative!

I made this adorable little bag (all girls need a monogrammed bag!)

And then another friend and I filled it with all things girly

(nail polish, lip gloss, notebook, pens, markers, mirror, wallet)

It was a huge hit! She hasn't stopped wearing it!

Burp Cloths With Bows!

I had an order for some burp cloths for a sweet new baby in Chicago.

I decided to try putting a bow on one....and it came out so sweet!

Happy October Birthdays!!!

October is the month for birthday celebrations in my family!

So for family dinner, I made three sets of cupcakes in honor of the birthday folk.

These are my cousin's cupcakes...the 13 year old requested

strawberry cupcakes with strawberry filling.

Monster designs of course!!!

These are My Hubby's---he wanted chocolate cupcakes with raspberry frosting

And I decorated them with soccer balls!!

 These are for my Aunt ---covered in flowers and she got a mixture of both flavors!

They were a hit!!!!!!!

A Little Love Sent to Denmark!

I have a friend from Denmark and her sister in law just had a baby!!

So she asked me to make lots of burp cloths and to monogram these PRECIOUS hats!!!

This was my first time monogramming the hats and they came out wonderfully!

I hope Emma in Denmark loves these!!!

It's Fall...It's Halloween...It's Candy Corn Time!!!

:Look what I made for the front door!

It was so fun to make and it turned out fabulous!

I LOVE Little Bags!!!

I love little bags!!! I put bags within bags (my purse is full of them!)

So I taught myself to make some. My first one I use for coupons and gift cards in my purse.

(So does my best friend!) They are just so useful.

So I wanted to give those sweet freshman a gift for initiation into their sorority.

I thought a bag would be the perfect gift!

They can use it to carry pens, pencils, and etc to class daily.

Or just to keep in their purses.

I am pretty proud of how they turned out!

Celebrating a Sweet New Baby...For An Old Friend!

My mom and I went to a shower for a very old friend of mine--

that I have known since I was 7 years old!

She is having a little girl in November and since her theme is Ladybugs,

I was on the search for new fabrics.

And I found the cutest ladybug print!!!

Housewarming Idea!!

A friend asked me to monogram these

dish towels for a housewarming gift....they turned out great!

Ohhhhh and of course, I did these burp cloths for a friend!!

Happy Fall!!

This week, I got really excited to decorate my house

with lots of fun fall stuff

AND Halloween goodies!

I saw a plain pumpkin and decided to personalize it:

It is so adorable! I have already had several requests for them!

They can be designed however you want and with whatever you want.

What a great way to start the fall season!

Fun with Cupcakes

One night I just started to play around with fun cupcakes! Here are a few of them:

This is the inside---blueberry cupcakes filled with raspberry jam
