Zebra Purse Mini Album

WooHoo I finally got this darn thing done. It was fun putting it together. She loved it! Here are the pics of each page. Enjoy!

I am also going to post pics of the cupcakes and cookies I made for my daughter's work shower. We made the little monogram picks from my HUGE collection of stamps and punches. I went and purchased a baby set of cookie cutters from Hobby Lobby. Gotta love the 40% off coupons. I knew I wanted to do a onesie but had to find the cutter to do it. They had it and they came out super cute. They have another coupon out this week so I may have to pick up some more cutters.

Tarynn went to the doctor & she is 80% effaced and still dilated to a one. She just has to hold off until Thursday lol. We were hoping she will have Landon on the 17th. It's our anniversary. Only time will tell.

Well I just received a cupcake order for friday. My mom flies in on thursday. I need to get baking and cleaning. I also have two other scrapbooks in progress with upcoming deadlines for both. Yikes! Until later my friends. ~Toodles

GLAM Cake

*Warning...Pics are horrible...I really need to take a class...get a background or something...SHEESH!

Anyways, here is the GLAM cake & cupcakes I did for hubby's co-worker. She is such a girly girl I ran with it. The pictures really dont do it justice at all. She loved it. She's leaving on a girlfriend getaway & wants to figure out how to take it on the plane. Not sure how that one will pan out. I'm thinking it wont. lol

Anyone else noticing a pattern with the darn stars? lol I told my daughter that I really need to move on. They just always seem to work with what I'm doing & they're the perfect size for fillers. So I am trying to expand my horizons & look for something new to add.

And I really am finishing up her zebra purse mini-album....seriously I am. They decided to give her the gifts on monday when she returns from her trip. Kind of a sigh of relief for me. I got a couple pages into it & hit a roadblock with all that hot pink. So how do you cure that....SHOPPING! Yes, a trip to the scrapbook store fixed me up just fine. So I will be back to share this weekend if not sooner.

Have a creative day! ~Toodles

Birthday Recap *Warning Lots Of Pics*

ll the birthday went off without a hitch. He had a great day at work. Our daughter got him a huge bouquet of balloons. His co-workers got him a very nice card & Best Buy gift card. Now what man wouldn't be happy with that? The chocolate cupcakes with mocha/caramel mousse filling were a hit. In fact, I got an order for a dozen this friday. I'm rather excited! He LOVED the fish tacos too. I have to say they were the best ones to date. I haven't cared for them lately but they were delish lastnight. The white sauce was to die for. *Ü* I have to share a few pics from lastnight. Our daughter Tarynn got him a pig snout as a gag gift. Now that we live in Arkansas she is determined to make him a "Hog". He is determined to fight her every step of the way. LOL She was going to buy him a shirt but feared he wouldn't wear it. She was probably right. So she decided to get him the snout. It was hilarious. He was a good sport & we got some great pics. It amazes Jim & I how dedicated the people are here about their Razorbacks....WOW! They have their cars plastered beyond recognition as well as decked out in all the garb on game days. I have never seen anything like it. Kind of like stepping into the Twilight Zone. Hahaha

I also wanted to share a few pics of the cards we made for him. Honestly they could of been better but I didn't feel well & was kind of crunched for time. Looking at the pics I can see all the flaws. I have vowed to do better next time. He didn't notice & that was good. :) My card (the black & white one) was an adaption from a tutorial here. It was fun to make & will probably do more. I didn't get a chance to read a lot of her blog but what I saw looks fun. I will be going over & catching a few more posts & craft ideas.

I better get going. I'm making Eggplant Parm from a girlfriend's recipe tonight. It is so good. I know my daughter will be hitting my door when she finds out. She loves it too! Have a great day. ~Toodles
