Cupcakes, Cupcakes

Hi all!  It has been a few days since I have posted.  It has been a VERY rainy, wet, and flooded area where I am.  Trying to stay afloat, and also for Easter, my hubby and I went to St. Louis for a long weekend, and returned yesterday to more rain!  It was a beautiful day today - and now, once again, more rain.  I'm lucky I live up higher than some of the neighborhood.  I cranked out a couple of cards - cause I wanted to focus on something happy, and making cards always makes me happy.  So - here is one of them.  I wanted to do something fun and festive, and what is more fun than cupcakes!

I also wanted to share that I have received another blog award - and I will make a posting of that in a day or two.  For now, I wanted to thank Angie @ http://angiescraftblog.blogspot.com/ for awarding me the Versatile Blogger Award!!


OK- that is it from me tonight.  Have a good evening!!

Here are the rules for the Liebster Blog Award:

It is given to bring light to new blogs, and it's a great way to share blogs that might not otherwise be seen that often, or ones you want to share with others. 

As a recipient you must share the love & award and pay it forward by:

1. Creating a post where you blog about the Liebster award & reveal your 3-5 blog picks.
2. Let them know you chose them by leaving a comment on their blog.
3. Copy & paste the blog award on your blog.
