Velvety comfort

Well..I'm a bit disappointed with some things... the school superintendents for this county we live in for one thing... Our weather has been uncomfortable to say the least and other counties were allowed to have two hour delays to school starting.. Nope not our county!

The school district that we live in sooo rural! I would say over half the children live in the out lying areas where they plow...but don't salt..and it's very rough getting out in the morning.. okay..okay..enough belly aching! #3 started to cry this past morning when they had to go to school and others had a delay..It broke my heart! So...I dug out my can of red velvety goodness and made these cupcakes for the boys! Mom can't get Spring here any faster but, by George... I can add a little sweetness!

You guys near "Sprinkles" are sooo lucky! This fab place is 'to die for' I hear...so..This is the best we can do up here in the Artic tundra.http://www.sprinklescupcakes.com/

I found that Williams-Sonoma carries these mixes..sorry you guys didn't find my last post interesting... I'm tellin' ya...it's a awesome store. If I can get DH home long enough (he travels alot with our 'other' business ), he promised to go to one of their cooking classes with me.

Yup...#3 gave them his seal of approval.. there were red grins all around.

Hmmmm...

Have a fab Wed. evening...

***Okay.update... I want to ask for folks forgiveness who have visited my store and thought "oh my gosh, she's crazy! I'm not paying that for shipping..." I had relied on another web designers input and didn't realize the shipping costs were so out of wack!! Nobody will pay attention to your business like you... So again.. I hope you fabulous ones will go back and visit my store again.. again, my apologies!!! Shipping has been adjusted for now and I will go back in the A.M and work on it some more. gosh, I feel like such a fool! ****

Getting the Hang of it...Maybe

Hi guys! I was able to sit and play abit with the Adobe PhotoElements. I think it's working alittle faster than it did last night 'cause I defragmented and compressed alot of files. Still...this is going to take some getting used too... Like what I was able to do so far? There are some 'flourish brushes' you can download from somewhere to make pretty 'vintage' flourishes on your photos..anyone know where? This little girl is a cutie for Carnival of Fortune's Friday night posts...she is so sweet, The Queen of the Carnival shares some of her awesome photos with us.
Isn't this cute?!!! They are little rubber duckies all over! I love it!
And this one, yes I know you guys probably have done this, but I took a vintage picture and added moi!

I hope I can get this 'emailed posts returns' situation figured out! Any ideas? I don't want to quit blogger...I wish this was like etsy or something where there is an admin thing you can email and get some straight answers to with out having to weed through the forums...blah...blah..blah... I like straight answers! Hang in there with me guys! love ya!
See that baby girl there in the following post... that is me! I'm soo sad and mad at the same time because it is some computer glitch that is causing this...I can't fix it...and it seems it always happens to me...moi...yours truley...nothing seems to work for me... and I feel so helpless. Sorry for being the kill joy... It will get better... won't it?!!
