spice up the sweetness

Sass's cupcake party has evolved into a sugar and spice party. I discovered this gal in my never ending web surfing. It's so stinkin' cute! Those above party favors are filled with cinnamon and sugar, people. The Sass loves her some cinnamon toast..a very personal party favor for her party.

Dum Dum topiary, seriously!?! Gotta make that!

12 five year olds let loose to make their own pizza, cupcakes, and fill up on a candy bar? What in the $%$& am I thinking??? Ooooh, I don't care, I'm as excited as she is!

Blogging about books

I've been lurking around blogs for quite some time....just now I am starting to find my voice and write my own. I've been reading this book for quite a few days now. I'm totally enthralled. I've decided to begin blogging about all of the projects in all of the crafty books I've been reading (by reading I mean hoarding!) I'll post some pictures, and share my success and my failure.

There's no place like home

This is my favorite craft project I have ever made. It says it all. I learned how from this fabulous lady. She actually did this exact project and once I saw it, I had to make it for myself.

I am planning a cupcake party for my soon to be 5 year old daughter, The Sass. She wants boys invited, so I thought a cupcake decorating party would be a lot of fun. I found this inspiration board here, and I think it is a great place to start. Lord, do I love cupcakes!

Shoppe Debut

Hello and welcome to my "shoppe"!
Ruby Belle are the middle names of my darling 2 girls (not that my 2 boys aren't darling themselves) , and this is my imaginary "sweet shoppe". It is here I plan to share the hodgepodge of things I adore: motherhood, expressions of creativity, cupcakes, girliness vintage, sparkle, fabulous shoes, pink, reading, ...... To quote Sheryl Crow.... "Here I come and I'm so not scared......"
