TWIN GIFTIES

I'm going to my sis-in-law's baby shower this afternoon & wanted to show off the gifties I'm giving. Last night I made these onesies for the twin girls. Cupcakes--of course, right?! I LOVE how they turned out!

My brother has been referring to the babies as "thing 1" & "thing 2". The babies are not yet born & he isn't telling ANYONE the names they've chosen. So, I thought it would be fun to get them this awesome bag from Gato Negro. It is so perfect, I can't believe it!!

OK, I'm off to wrap up the gifties!!!

It's Only Just Begun...

Why, hello there! I have officially begun my March goal of learning to make cupcakes from scratch. I was able to hop on over to the library today while the wee ones were in preschool & I picked up a few books. I think I'm going to narrow it down to 2 recipes to try. I've had fun drooling over which flavors to pick! Too bad you won't be here to sample them. Bummer for you.

On this rainy afternoon I decided to celebrate the soon-to-be arrival of Spring! It's only a week away! I splurged & bought myself a new yard friend. Isn't he cute? He actually looks frightened in this photo. I buckled him up---for safety! I guess he's not used to that.

I had a fun time at my MOPS spa day. Sorry, no photos! But I did get inspired by the whole experience & decided to create a mini-spa night for my girls sometime this weekend. I'm going to give them pedicures, manicures, a giant bubble bath (& they can wrap their hair in a towel like mommy does), they'll wear their robes & slippers, we'll have a fancy dessert (blackberry shortcake that I'll make the cheater way), foot massages, facials.....It'll all just be for fun & for no reason in particular!

Clownie Cupcake is now in the shop!
