Cupcakes and Strawberries

Well, I can't quit making things from Lolly's printable cupcake thingies! Here is a jar and a big recipe clip I made to go with the noteholder/recipe holder I made! I think I am going to put little baggies of sprinkles, chocolate chips, a package of cupcake papers in the jar. It would be such a cute gift to give to someone, don't know who, but someone!










Here I have a box of stuffed strawberries! I love how they turned out! I would like to start my Etsy Shop again, and start selling things like this. I am not quite sure how to package them to mail them. I want to sell them individual or a few at a time, not the whole box. I want to make the mailing cost effective for the customer. I have to figure that out. I would also like to have embellishments for card and scrapbooking for sale also, as well as little cards and gifts. I have to get motivated, and I will. I have to get past a few things first, then I will be able to get started. Enjoy the strawberries! And the rest of your day! Hugs, Michelle

Got a new project done!

This is a little recipe/note book I made from Lolly Chops Cupcake week on her blog! I'm sorry, I don't know how to link yet, tried and it did not work for me! She is having cupcake week over there, and this a little something I made from some printables she shared yesterday.The first pic, is the inside, the second is the note cards and the third is the front and the tablet. The cupcake on front of the folder and the little notebook are from her blog, they are so cute! I added some notecards also I cut out from my top note die from Stampin' Up! and backed it with pink cardstock. I stamped the little cupcake from a stamp set I got at Jo-anne Fabrics, don't know the name of the set right at this moment! I used Creamy Caramel ink from Stampin' Up! also for the little cupcake. I love that color! I will post the measurements later today, or tomorow if you want them. I am hoping to have more projects done with this too! I love cupcakes, my friends actually call me cupcake from time to time. I used to work at a deli/ice cream,dairy/bakery called Isaly's (home of the skyscraper ice cream cones!,based in Pittsburgh and surrounding areas) My oldest daugheter would come to work with me to wait for pappy to take her to grammas and I had to buy her a cupcake everyday! She only ate the top off, and gave the rest to my mum. Or I would eat it! Hence, the name "Cupcake"! Anyway, have a great day, hopefully no more rain! We have had so much this last month, it's ridiculous!
