The Magic of Christmas

2011-12-23T23:22:00.003-07:00

It's almost here! I can not believe it is Christmas! Where did the time go? I have been so stressed out with school. I just completed my final in algebra II. I survived and got a B. I never want to take another math class in my life. It consumed so much of my time. Once again I did not get enough crafting done for my favorite time of the year. I decorated a little different this year. I used more greenery and used a fake green tree and lightly flocked it with shimmery snowflakes on the ends. I used pink in my tree which I was just going to go all silver and white put I could not resist. Here are a few photos of my home this year. I missed my white tree and will go back to it next year. My favorite thing this year was a saying I bought in vinyl it says "The magic of Christmas is not in the presents, but in HIS PRESENCE". I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic Treasures Fabric

2011-08-22T23:20:00.003-06:00

Have you seen it? I love it. Just when I thought I was moving on from the Shabby Chic style into French Chic. I saw this fabric and I am now leaning that way again. I guess you can mix pink roses with anything right? This fabric is called Rose Garden and it looks just like the old high end Wildflower. The colors are just a little lighter. Love all of the line she just came out with. Check it out I have not found it locally but online it is available and not expensive! I made mouse pads with it.

Thanks for stopping by, Lisa

My new Obsession

2011-03-14T12:17:00.003-06:00

As you may or may not be aware I love cupcakes! Everything I find cupcakes I have to have. Well I ran across this cupcake embroidery pattern and thought I can't embroider but what else could I do with it? Well I decided to try to embroider. I got online and looked at blogs, you tube you name it. For never sewing before I am doing ok. I have not mastered it yet. I thought cupcakes embroidered on towels would be so cute. So, I am trying to get good enough to actual make a towel and hang it. Then hopefully sell some. I just love the colors of the thread or floss and "they" call it. I'll get you updated on my progress.

Pink Coffee filter Heart

2011-01-28T21:40:00.004-07:00

I can't seem to get enough of coffee filters. I love how fluffy they look when on a wreath. I had a foam heart I bought last year and never used it. I pulled it and already had some coffee filters died pink so I just started gluing. I love how it turned out. I should hung it with small ribbon but instead I just wide satin ribbon. Oh well next time. I can't wait to do some Easter Wreath's love Easter colors. I think I am way ahead of myself I'm thinking Easter already! Need some sun tired of the dreary dark sky's. Preparing for my big day tomorrow The Big Birthday. I'll let you guess which one it is!

Birthday Cupcakes

2010-07-13T22:49:00.004-06:00

Today was my big sisters birthday. She would not let me photograph her so I took pictures of the cute cupcake toppers I made for her. Along with other little decoratons and some cute pink cupcake soap I made for her. She like cupcakes almost as much as I do. I think I am a freak for cupcakes and she just likes them. I attempted making her some big tissue paper roses. They did not turn out as good as I wanted them to but it was my first attempt so they were ok. The little image on the cupcake pick is from Free Pretty Things for You blog. Isn't the little girl on it so sweet.

Penny Candy

2010-05-30T16:35:00.004-06:00

One of my thrift finds over the weekend. A cute pink and white stripe Penny Candy container. I just added some roses and put it on my outdoor table. I then hung a little chandelier above it to make it a little sweet outside. I like sitting outside in the evenings. It is just now getting warm here. It has been very rainy and dreary. Bring on the sun!

Everyday Is a Holiday Cupcake Journals, magnets and Notecards

2010-05-17T13:02:00.007-06:00

Ok, I have been seeing information on different blogs about Everyday Is A Holiday Jenny Heid and Aaron Nieradka having items at Michaels. So I called my local Michaels and they had no idea what I was talking about. So my sister and I went to Boise and went in and started looking. Then we found them! We were digging through all of the items. We could not decide on what or how many items to get. My sister say's to me "you are giddy" I said yes I love this stuff. This little trip made my whole weekend! So RUN don't walk to your local Michaels store and get it while it is there. I think when it's gone it's gone.

A New Chapter

2010-01-25T21:25:00.004-07:00

I'm taking a huge step! I'm going back to school. First just going for my Associates degree then onto my Bachelors in IT with an emphasis in Web Design. I'm excited but scared. It hopefully will be the icing on the cupcake! I hope that I can keep up with School, Work and Ebay. I wish I could just stay home and do ebay and etsy but, now I will have less time to do what I really love! I'm going to try and still dream up new ideas and make Shabby Cottage items that I love! So, I will post again soon.

A work in progress. As always I'm coming up with new Idea's. It snowed here in Idaho today! I'm working on Sweet candy, cupcakes, cakes and candy whimsy Christmas. I made a faux cake and added a cute little Shabby Sweet cottage a little green bottle brush tree and a ballerina. Can't decide on ballerina or a glittered reindeer. Anyway here are a few pictures of the faux Christmas cake and a bottle brush tree topper I added a vintage looking rose with pearls and lace with pink pearls. So many idea's with so little time. Story of my life. Thanks so much for stopping by, Lisa

Shabby Faux Cupcake with Parasol topper

2009-09-05T22:58:00.004-06:00

I found these sweet plastic parasols at a local antique mall today. Actually my sister found them but, I had to have them. The package came with about 12 of them some light pink some darker pink and 2 light yellow. They came just as they are pictured roses and all. I thought they would make cute cupcake toppers. So, I got right to work and this is the result. I'm going to try to make some to get on ebay or etsy. Have not had much time between work and trying to get my house in order. Still don't have much up on my walls yet. Work in progress. Also trying to get Christmas cupcake ornaments done. Off to work I go (at home).

Oh Moving!

2009-08-18T17:14:00.005-06:00

I just moved oh what a task. At least it was not to hot! My little house is about the perfect size over 1550 square feet and a hudge back yard for my Bailey. Just wish Bailey could mow the lawn. I added a picture. It had not been lived in, in about 6 months so the lawn is just starting to pull out of it. Tons of water I can't believe how it pulls out of it with just water. It is driving me crazy I have not been able to do anything for Ebay or Etsy.I'm also working 6 days a week right now. I'm exhausted! Finally getting a little settled in. I'm thinking Christmas already! I can't wait for a Shabby Sweet Cupcake Christmas. I'll be making all sorts of different Sweet treat ornaments! Both for me and you! Hopefully next post I'll have new goodies to show!

More Sweet treats! Ice Cream Sundae

2009-07-13T17:39:00.006-06:00

More sweet treats! My mom and sister went shopping without me today! I was working. They surprised me and brought me more of the sweet treat collection. Ice Cream Sundae tray, tablecloth, place mats, and sundae dishes pink and aqua. I just love the colors and stripes and polka dots.

Today is my sister B-Day. Happy Birthday Leslie. I made her a sweet little cupcake doll pick. I also made her two little faux cupcakes to put them in. I did not take pictures before I gave them to her. They were not perfect but, she loved them. I'm trying to make more I think they are so cute. They just take so much time. July is Nation Ice Cream month So, eat Ice Cream all month long!!

Sweet Treats... We all Scream for Ice Cream

2009-07-05T22:02:00.008-06:00

Oh summer is here! 100 today! Way to hot. Made me want to eat Ice Cream all day. But, I didn't. Just found cute Ice Cream treats!

Oh, I went shopping this weekend and found some of the cutest Ice cream stuff. Ice cream cone bubbles, a sundae towel set and the best a ice cream sundae straw holder with pink flexy straws. Nothing I bought was over $10.00. I love to find cute stuff and it's not a lot of money. Oh yeh I also found a cute tin of cupcake band aids. They are in the shape of a cupcake and the little tin is like the old fashion kind but, with cupcakes on it. So Cute. I forgot to take a picture of it. A gift bag with lollipops ,cake and cupcakes and the perfect pastel shades of candy neckles. Now, what to do with all of it?

My sister and I went to our favorite Antique Mall in Boise and she walked ahead of me and found two great vintage Nancy Ann Story Book dolls in great shape. I hate when she walks way ahead of me she gets all the great finds!

I also ran across the cutest little vintage cupcake girl that I made decals out of. I have a cute pink little candy jar I have listed on ebay.
