Snickerdoodle Cupcakes

The recipe for these cupcakes was adapted from a recipe that appeared on Foodie with Family.  I baked them at 325 degrees for 20 – 25 minutes.  Here is the link to the recipe.

They were absolutely delicious and were a big hit at the shower.

Thank you Rebecca for sharing such a great recipe.

Sunset

Nature holds so much beauty.

Sunset displays bold and beautiful strokes of color that are offered to us by nature each day.  It’s almost as if we are being reminded how much beauty was held within the day and the leftovers are spilling out to inspire us.

There is nothing more relaxing than ending each day watching the sunset and reflecting.

Here is the sunset that I enjoyed this evening.

What did you reflect on while the sun set tonight?

Diaper wreath for Natasha’s shower

Here is the diaper wreath that I finished for Natasha’s baby shower.  I got the idea and directions from Little Brown House http://thelittlebrownhouse.us/2010/10/14/diaper-wreath/.  Awfully cute and fun to make.

Don’t be too hard on me, remember I’m new at this.

Oh, and I almost forgot.  Yesterday was the first day of fall.  I took pictures of the sunrise and would love to share them with you.

How awesome is that?

 

This is all so new!

This blog thing is all so new to me.  I’m having a blast checking out everyone’s blogs.  I find myself spending way too much time on the computer, but everyone has such great ideas and recipes that I am totally hooked.

Who wouldn’t love all the giveaways and the great stories and advice?  Not to mention the delectable recipes and pictures.  OMG, I drool just reading some of them.   So many of you share awesome ideas, there just aren’t enough hours in the day.

Today I finished a wreath as a decoration for a coworker’s baby shower.  I will be sharing later.

This is definitely a work in progress and the going will be slow, but check back in to see my progress.

This is just so Awesome!

Ikea closet finished!

It’s finally finished.  The closet of my dreams.  I have to thank Ikea, because without them this closet never would have been possible.

The final touch was finished yesterday.  I added the fabric panels to cover the air conditioning unit and it’s ugliness.
