Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes

These were fun to make!
Sienna's birthday usually comes before the school year starts... but not this year!
She was so excited because she had helped me deliver many cupcakes and balloons to her brother and sister's classes over the years...and it was finally her turn!

These ice cream cone cupcakes were super easy to make and are super yummy too.
I went the semi-homemade route, using a boxed cake mix and homemade buttercream frosting.
The most important part is to not over or under fill the cones.  I found a line inside the cones to use as a guide, so they all turned out pretty uniform and pretty.  I piped the frosting on in a swirl using a plastic bag with the tip cut off. Last...but certainly not least...I added sprinkles and a sour cherry candy to the top.  Soooo easy!

I'm going to attempt to make a ice cream cone shaped cake for her birthday cake, so stay tuned:)

I can't believe my little baby is going to be 6!  
It seems like just yesterday I was pregnant with her and moving out to Nevada (not knowing anyone) with two little toddlers in tow....
So much has happened and changed in the last six years, but she has definitely been the best gift.

Shaving Cream Fight, Anyone?

Wow!  Where did the summer go?
We did so many fun things...it flew by!
I guess the old saying is true, 
"time flies when you're having fun"!

The kids start back at school on Monday, so I hope to be able to post more soon!
Lots and lots of ideas swirling through my head:)
Oh, and I still have my next beading book in the works!

Lemonade

The girls have been begging me all summer to make a lemonade stand, so when my Mom sent us a big box of lemons....it seemed like the perfect time!
 My little entrepreneurs!
Yay!  They made about $8.00!
(We have some very nice neighbors!)
They had so much fun and couldn't stop talking about it!

A Bit Smaller

Can you tell the "bride" bird on the right is a bit smaller than the "groom" bird on the left?
That was the great idea of a recent customer, and the result turned out really cute!
I also love how bright and colorful the topper is!

Getting Ready...and a FREE Beading Pattern!

We have been having some fun getting ready for the 4th of July!
We painted our toenails a couple of days ago...
It was such a pain doing all of the detail with a toothpick!
I saw something similar here today, and it looks like an easier process.

I also made the girls these flag fringe necklaces.
They were super quick and easy to make...
and I put together a pattern to share!
I started by stringing the necklace part with beading wire, but you can use beading thread also.

~basic bead stringing/fringe knowledge is helpful~

You can find the American Fringe Necklace pattern HERE:
