Cupcakes

One of the gifts I received from my brothers for Christmas was a cupcake calender. Some may not know that I LOVE to make cute cupcakes!! I've decided to attempt to make the cupcakes of the month, January...Polar Bears. Brent, my brother's birthday is January 8th so why not...
I made a dozen and it took me about 4 hours.
This is the calender's picture...



This is how mine turned out...





We all met up for dinner and I brought dessert!




I have to show you the ducks for March...YIKES!


December crafty gifts

This year I decided to make a lot of Christmas presents. I got this idea from a friend of mine and couldn't pass it up. Muffin Tin Advent Calenders.

This is the original blog it's from with instructions (if interested) and then a few pictures of how mine turned out.



Then I received this gift from Melanie. Love!! You can eat the candy that's in it! It's got a little plug at the bottom but I'll admit the ribbon keeps me from getting into it. I don't want to mess it up. It's wrapped all around the block. Such a cute idea!! It says Life is Sweet at the bottom. Thanks again Mel!!
