Whew, I was soooo happy when these cupcakes turned out wonderful for my sister's wedding rehearsal. Thank you Cupcake Queen!

I didn't figure in the time for these puppies to cool down (would have melted the mascarpone frosting right off!) but luckily one of Angelica's friends, who didn't have to be at the actual rehearsal, offered to stay behind and frost. Close call!

The wedding itself was absolutely beautiful. Very low-key and low stress. There was a lot of picture taking and crying the whole weekend (that's what we do when we're together!). Now the happy couple is lounging on a beach in Molokai!

I really really really want a Scooba, the floor cleaning cousin to the Roomba. I have to sweep and clean our kitchen, living room and hallway every other day because of the amount of smears and dirt the dogs bring in. I would love to just set the Scooba to go.

I checked on a lot of customer reviews and they seem to either hate it or love it. Anyone have one?

How cute is this ABCDEF Cookie Monster clip off of YouTube?!#$% My favorite part is when she whispers "I Love You." Aghhhh, just kill me now.

Do you have a couple hours to waste? Check out this list of old Sesame Street stuff. Seriously, don't go to the link unless you have absolutely nothing to do.

And if you want to sing along with Captain Vegetable, here are the words and the song!

Happy little tea stuff to start the week off right!

My sister's wedding is this weekend so things are going to be crazy busy over here starting tomorrow. Went and bought all the ingredients for the cupcakes yesterday and will probably do a trial run tomorrow, mmm. I'll make sure to take lots of pictures of all the crafty goodness!

There's a whole thread going on over at TSB about who's willing to trade with other indie companies. A great way to get a head start on possible winter shopping!

Decided to make a little banner to let people know who's trade friendly, feel free to save to your own browser and use:

Yay, I got my camera strap from Neesy over at Heyday Fashion yesterday! Wonderfully well made, let me tell you. And the best part? It can be adjusted long enough so that I can wear the camera messenger style.

Jim commented on that he'd never seen a fashionable camera strap. I was so pround to say an indie had come up with it!

Nessy's shop is closed for the moment (sending lots of happy moving vibes her way!) but you should definitely remember it in the future!

Wow, my ten year reunion from Loretto is coming up. Remember when 10 years seemed like forever and 30 was old?
