SHEs Organized

Here are some cupcake photos. Each one was baked in a white paper and then, for the table, placed in separate decorative paper (blue ticking stripe) to look festive. I think you can see the two papers in the photo. Each cupcake has two blossoms, and more blossoms were strewn around. The blue flower garland looked better in person... ... hmmm... ...
So tempting to include the photo of baby niece (now 4) looking at the cupcake stand, so happy to choose one. But I guess I won't put it in the public part of our site.

Harriet, Everything looks so beautiful! You do wonderful meticulous work. Even the table bow was so nice. I loved seeing the cupcakes all tiered, too. It really set them off. I bet they were/are delicious, too. Thanks for sharing!

I worked on my scrapbook, but only glued one see-through page down, onto the scrapbook page. It kept curling on the edges, so I added more glue, put heavy things on it, so it'll dry flat. The color is pastel green and I found 2 different shades of green punch-out papers for flowers and things, to add to the page. I found my paper doilies, too, and more photos. I may run out of room for this scrapbook, as it's a kit of 2, 1 medium, 1 small, from Costco. If the photo-story works out, I may save late teenage years, meeting DH and our bridal photos for the smaller of the scrapbooks. Once I'm done with all of my childhood photos, I have no "clue" where to go from here. I was thinking about making DH a childhood/life scrapbook from his photos, then with us and our children together, to sort of tell our story. It would take a lot of time, I'd need to work in secret, so he wouldn't catch on to his surprise, too. I'll mull it over, as I have 3 toddler Christmas afghans to do, too.

They are just gorgeous! It made me so hungry for cupcakes, but I can't do that because my weight is going down, down, down. This morning the scale showed I had lost 25.5 lbs. since we returned home in April. I can't turn back now!

Harriet and dd, everything looked wonderful. Great ideas that I hope I can remember.

Lovely!

Finished the walking stick yea!

WTG, Nancy!

I just wanted to tell you that I was at Ravelry and found some awfully cute crocheted pin cushion patterns. They'd make unique gifts for a b-day or the holidays. I printed up one, which has British Terms, but on the last page, they list American Terms and which British Terms they'd be if you were crocheting in British. Does that make sense? Better put, it has both English and American Terms.
