SHOPPING @ MICHAELS CRAFT STORE

So today, after work, I decided that I JUST HAD to go to Michaels, Hobby Lobby and Joanns....I had coupons about to expire!! I was actually on the hunt for chipboard coasters, but I couldn't find them!! AHHH!! However, I did find these great items at Michaels in the DOLLAR BIN!!! Too cute notecards with envelopes, 4 tiny paper pads with my kiddies initials on them, 4 tiny clear cupcake stamps (if you have been keeping up on my blog you know that I'm cupcake crazy), and a circle cupcake rubber stamp! What a deal ALL items were only $1!!!!

Scrapbooking Deals!

Through my Paper Crafts emails, there was an advertisement for cheap scrapbooking supplies. The catch is you have to visit everyday and see what they are offering. Check it out! www.peachycheap.com

From Muffins to Paper!!

As you can see...I've been on the baking craze for the last month, so I thought I would post my lastest paper creations. This is a notebook that I covered with some of my favorite scrapbook paper! If you have had any of my kids in class, you may have gotten something like this as a gift! If you are looking for a gift to give you can check out my etsy store at www.justanote.etsy.com or email me if you want something customized!

Muffin Mania!!!

I'm not sure what the deal is, but I have been in a baking mood FOREVER! I purchased the 6 cup giant muffin pan from Wilton at Michaels last week. Yesterday I made a slew of muffins....I got several recipes from www.allrecipes.com. I had to double the recipe and I BARELY had enough batter for the "Giant" one. So I mixed up another regular batch and made the regular size muffins too.






I made a quick trip to DG for some crisco and found Martha White Blueberry Muffin Mix for $1.00!! How great...so I purchased 2 packages of the blueberry and strawberry! Those I made using my "newly acquired" (my mother in law gave to me) mini muffin pan!

So let's review mini muffins, regular muffins and GIANT muffins.

I LOVE CUPCAKES!!

CUPCAKES!!

I am so into cupcakes right now...stamps, paper and the real thing too! I have been wanting to make cupcakes with my girls for weeks now! So Sunday after church we did! I had strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate with chocolate chips. As for the icing...vanilla with confetti, CHERRY, and chocolate! Just mixed and matched! I made about 60 cupcakes and it was a blast! Except when Presley had an allergic reaction to what we think was the confetti pieces! Nothing that a quick Benedryl didn't take care of! Here are some of the pictures of our fun!
