Some birthday goodies...

I know, you want to see some paper crafting and cards don't you?  But I just had to share with you the goodies that I got for my birthday.  Of course it was cuppy cake related Ü

Cute, cute cuppy cake stuff!

Look at the adorable mug that Betty gave me.  Isn't it special!?  I don't know to use it or just to look at it ~ it's so cute!  And she came to town early to take me to breakfast ~ how sweet was that!  Considering that she had to get up early to get ready and drive here.

All I could do was smile and say "I've never seen anything like this before".  I've made cuppy cakes for Danielle to take to school and hubby to take to work and you can never pack them up without mushing them together ~ so this is perfect!  It holds 3 layers of cuppy cakes, 24 total.  So I told hubby that I was going to make cup cakes for him to take to work, he said "great"...  Meaning "I really don't want to carry that into work".  he he he....

She bought it at Ginny's on line.  It's their cupcake carrier.  Oh, I just cant wait to use it! 

Then she bought me the decorator bags, tips and some cuppy cake papers too!  Not to mention some mixes, frostings and sprinkles.  Hey, maybe she wants me to make some cup cakes?

Kind of a funny story...  In our house the birthday person get's to pick out what they want for dinner that night, going out or staying in, a balloon and their cake.  Well, Mom made a blackberry pie last month and it was so good that I wanted that.  I like them kinda tart too ~ Ricky doesn't.  So he came home after work with this cake because he didn't want pie Ü and also....

This little guy.  It's 2 cup cakes covered with frosting to look like a puppy!  How cute is that?

Well, I'm done now.  Hope I didn't bore any of you with this post.  I just wanted to show off how lucky I am to have a wonderful family.  They really made this old girl feel special.  And thank you everyone who sent cards and sweet comments and emails ~ I find it harder every year getting older, but the love you all share is so kind that it puts a smile on my face.

Next week I promise to be back to normal with posting.  Really.  Have a super great weekend!
