Totoro Cupcakes Anyone?

Today was my day off from work and I decided to do something

that I've wanted to do for a very long time.

MAKE CUPCAKES!! Woot woot.

I was having a bit of trouble though because we are renovating our kitchen

and everything was all over the place.

But I PREVAILED!

I had to run around finding ingredients! I ended up setting the mixer on the floor

and had to keep Ranger's (^^see above) big nose out of it.

Then when Callie got home we frosted and decorated them.

We even did one mini-heart shaped cake

in honor of Callie's One Year Anniversary.

Congrats Callie I love you lots. :)

Aren't they freakin' adorable!?

I love My Neighbor Totoro...

PS: Remember that post I did a while back about Operation Beautiful?

Well I was actually featured on the site. If you want to see click here dearies. :}

Hope you all are having a great day!

OH! And you might want to stop by the Magical

Bean's blog tomorrow for a giveaway...hint hint hint.

Renegade + Banquet

Last weekend was a lot of fun!

Callie, Kaitlyn, and my mom all went to the Renegade Craft Fair.

It was very cool, in a word.

There were so many different types of artists there,

with so much to offer.

One of the booths we actually got to stop by was

for Etsy!

Then we created these, "baby bunts".

Aren't they freakin' adorable?!

Later, after I made a few *cough cough* purchases

we walked around South Congress...

I actually ended up buying a mustache pin,

a graphic poster,

a shirt with toast on it,

and a few others, which are escaping my mind right now.

Callie is considering doing it next year

and I think that she would do awesome, don't you?

{this is what I wore to the Banquet}

Then last night I went to a Debate Banquet.
Which was er, okay.
The place was really nice and had good food,
and I got to spend time with my dad.
But there was a lot of favoritism happening in all the speeches,
gifts, and things...which was getting frustrating.
They even had a super long slide show of "fun times"
which I was only included in UNO picture!
Sigh.


But you know what!
As I lay in my bed and look up at our shaky fan,
I remember: there's only 12 more days of school,
so I smile.
