Friday we got up early and headed to maine to spend the long weekend with my family. we had a cookout with some family friends and just had a good time.
Yesterday I had one of the best cupcakes I have had in a long time. It was tiny but oh so good!!
It was strawberry banana frosting with vanilla cake. Unfortunately the batteries in my “good” camera died so I had to take a picture with my cell phone 
Bad timing. Awesome cupcake!

| You Are a Yellow Crayon |
 You have a thoughtful and wise way about you. Some people might even consider you a genius. Charming and eloquent, you are able to get people to do things your way. While you seem spontaneous and free wheeling, you are calculating to the extreme. Your color wheel opposite is purple. You both are charismatic leaders, but purple people act like you have no depth. |
Okay, Baseball season has officially started! To celebrate Opening Day my good friend Nikki made these Red Sox cupcakes.
Did I mention yet that they won? 5-0!
Happy Baseball Season everyone!
This is a loaf of our special St. Paddy’s Day Bread made with a bottle of Guinness Extra Stout. We made this using this great Ale Bread recipe.
It came out delicious. The Guinness Extra Stout gave it a unique smell and flavor. We put a lot of scallions in and I was concerned the taste would bother me but they are barely noticable. The cheese is a great touch.
The recipe was really easy to make and I’m definatly going to experiment with different types of beer. Next I’ll try a Hefeweizen, probably Magic Hat’s Circus Boy. After that hopefully I’ll have a nice home brew and then I’ll get to see how the leftover yeast effects the baking process.
I recently participated in a handmade paper dress swap. I made three dresses and sent one to three different people. One went to California and the others went overseas to Italy and Amsterdam. I have never sent anything outside of the country before so I was glad and surprised to hear that they arrived so quickly.
Here are the dresses I sent
These are the wonderful dresses that I received
 
 Isn’t this one the cutest with the little pocket and hanger?
I loved making these dresses so much that I made one for myself…..

Well it’s Valentines Day! We don’t really celebrate beyond exchanging cards…..we think of it more as a kids holiday. Now, we don’t have kids, but do get to celebrate with the kids I work with. This year we were busy making valentines to send to our family and friends using this idea. Then we made felt fortune cookies for my co-teachers and made lollipop flowers as my valentine to the kids
We also made mini cupcakes for the kids valentine party.
