make lemonade cupcakes and then get back on your horse!
(These are so very good, and since they *ARE* from cooking light, I thought it would be permissible to have not one, but two, three, four! My husband is not a cupcake kinda guy and he beat me out at five. We are sick, sick, sick. BAD lemonade cupcakes. I'm sure they will be in good standing again by tomorrow morning though, just in time for breakfast.)
Just a couple of photos I took while messing around with my camera. I don't have a super duper camera, but it does allow for some manual functions. I was going for the blurry background in both these shots. BTW, the pink flowers are moss rose, my all time favorite plant that I pot up each summer. The funky prickly guy in the top photo is a Madagascar palm that is 3.5 feet tall now and I've had him since he was a wee little baby at about 6 inches. I put him outside every summer and he looses his leaves and then they come back in full force. These are the new leaves just coming back in. I've read that they are supposed to bloom when they reach 3 or 4 feet, so I keep my fingers crossed every summer that this will be the year!
In other news, I finished up my end of Sarah's kitchen swap and mailed the package to Clare yesterday, I am so excited for her to receive it, I hope she loves it!
I'm going to leave you all with some links that are sure to inspire, so enjoy!
- Mexican tissue flowers
- Knitted dish scrubbie
- office supplies decorated with fabric
- fizzy bath bombs
- button stamps
I think that'll do it. Have a good week lovelies!!
