So we have a new family who moved in up the street. It just so happens that I ran into the “Dad” of the family on the train weeks ago and they said they were moving onto my street. I chuckled and introduced myself. Nothing like being late welcoming someone to the neigborhood! So I made some nice moxy fab cupcakes with fun pearly gates…um…err..fences. So now I can welcome them properly. I chose the colors of their house as a starting point and went from there! Hope you like it! Um..those wraps for the cupcakes? Another Fancy Flours find! Tee hee hee.
I am giving a concert at Swarthmore College today. All Medieval music. Fun times. I am also figuring out how I am going to get htis house cleaned in time before my whole family comes for my brother’s wedding on the 15th. Man…I have a ton of stuff to do. Pray for me! LOL! Also…there will be something special happening with my blog soon…stay tuned… ;))))
