Sweet Valentine Love-ings!!
Well I meant to post this much earlier than today but time flies, when you are having fun wasting time.
Which, let’s be honest here, is most likely what happened.
I guess I would rather be on time though, than late, so tonight is the night! 🎵It’s the night of our nightmares, it’s the night of our dreams,🎵 (Highschool Musical anyone? Anyone?)
Since I have no coworkers at the moment, I decided to bake cupcakes for Brandon’s!!!!! He was having a meeting and it’s nice to know that at least 12 people are eating the things I bake. Now whether it’s because they taste good or because they are made by the boss’ wife, we can’t be sure. But I’ll assume it’s because they taste awesome!
They are mini cupcakes! Featuring:
The swirl rose (2 pics) and the star flowers using Wilton tip 107.
3-5-7 Roses . Also to make flat petal roses. Using Wilton tip 102. Neither pictured here…because I forgot to take a picture of them.
And here’s a pic of all the types.
That’s not all the cupcakes,don’t worry.
To continue my valentine kick, I made some cards to send to some peeps! In the process of my creative card making I made 2 discoveries.
1. I over think what I want to create and spend more time thinking then doing.
2. I don’t have a heart shaped stamp…or punch… Or stencil.
Ok well I do have a heart shaped stamp that is very beautiful and I totally love! But I don’t hand a regular one. And more importantly, and useful, I don’t have a punch or a nestability frame thing to cut out hearts!
My very loving and understanding husband gave me the ok to go to Joann’s and get a heart stamp. The day before Valentine’s Day. Cause I’m like that…last minute lady.
PROBLEM!!!! There were 0 heart stamps (in their selection of like 20 stamps in the whole store….seriously lame).
Ph but wait here’s 3 nestability type cutting frames…. One is all bubbly-lacey-weird and is $25.00….PASS!!!
The other two are super weird shapes hearts…PASS!!!
Let’s see… Ahh punches! Here’s one that is nice shape, and pretty cheap, especially with my coupon. Ooh but I have to buy the $30 starter kit separately first…. Yeah, no.
Well looks like it’s this one stamp. Looks like it’s been returned before and resealed with scotch tape…. Well looks like it will have to do!
Oh and I need more paper…and ribbon…OOOOOH! And glitter!
So there they are. And now they are in the mail whisking their way to someone’s mailbox!
Love you guys!
Happy Valentines Day!
DFTBA

P.s. Most people don’t know this, but “Happy Valentine’s Day” spelled backwards is “Yad Senitnelav Yppah,” which means “You Stupid Sucker” in Cherub language. Cupid told me.
