Cupcake Heaven

My husband and I made some sweet stops at our favorite cupcake shops, "Susie Cakes & Kara's Cupcakes" for my Birthday favors! I wanted edible favors that also serve as place cards for a dinner celebration with my dearest friends! I found the cutest take out boxes in clear white & silver that hold a mini cupcake in place perfectly. Everybody's sweet tooth was satisfied! Thank you again for all the Birthday wishes! I had a wonderful week indulging in sweets with family & friends!

Gingham Galore!

My "April Birthday" buddy Brian celebrated his special day yesterday! I've known him for 11+ years and he's always dressed to impress, lol! At the pool, during a game of golf, or just dinner on a Thursday! His trendsetting ways often include high tops, hats, and you guessed it, gingham! I really wanted a cardigan so I improvised. What do you think?! Matching gift box, check! Happy Birthday Brian, I'm glad you had a blast in Napa!

My Pink Stamper Design Team Project: Favors

April is quite the busy Birthday month! Today, it's all about favors for any occasion! For this project, I wanted to brainstorm ideas for a Sports themed Birthday that I will be doing in July! Basketball, football, and soccer it is! Touchdown, My Pink Stamper's "Boy Crazy" stamps had the cutest sentiment for my favor box!
