Giving Thanks

Thankful Forest card by Rifle Paper Co.

This year I have a few extraordinary things to be thankful for:

• My husband of almost six months, who would do anything in the world to put a smile on my face
• My amazing family and my equally amazing in-laws. Yes, I absolutely LOVE my in-laws! 
• Having a home and sharing it with the person I love
• Miss Juliet, the most loving little pup in the world
• The opportunity to create beautiful paper and stationery items
• And of course, I am most thankful that my husband comes home from work safe and sound every day

 Happy Thanksgiving everybody! 

Gobble Gobble Goo & Gobble Gobble Gickle....

....I wish turkey only cost a nickel!  Ha! I love this time of year, in part to the fact that we get to hear all the fun Adam Sandler songs!

So Thanksgiving is over and I can no longer button my pants, shoot. It could be in part due to these delicious cupcakes I made for the feast....and of course, I had to make several batches to do some taste testing before serving my family (maybe THAT'S why my pants are a few inches shorter...)

Please, ignore the mess - my kitchen is a disaster....but these Pumpkin Ginger Cupcakes were not!!!

 I've discovered that using a sifter makes everything super, super delicate and delicious.

 Sift, sift, sift!

 A little butter never hurt either...

all done!!!

Oh, and how can I forget!! The icing makes the (cup)cake!

As you can tell, a few were missing! Seems like they were enjoyed!!!
