I've started a little cupcake paper collection, Michael's dollar bin is a favorite place for pretty papers, cheap and far cuter than what you can get at the grocery store. In the jar is the only way I'll be admiring these beauties for a while. Ahem. Still, they're a colorful touch on the counter and they leave me dreaming of spring with their bright florals and ruby red strawberries and cheery dots.
I finally found my camera manual just this morning. I've made a little list of areas in the house that need to be purged and the first place on my list, there were the manuals. Proof that cleaning and organizing can be beneficial:>) Tomorrow I'll sit down and start going through the basics. Time to really begin to understand what I'm doing when I point the lens at something! How about you? Are you tackling anything new this month?
These are adorable. I've found some cuties at HomeGoods as gifts for my goddaughter, who likes to make cupcakes. I'm doing some major paper purging. Today is magazine day.
ReplyDeletewhat a colourful, clever way to bring some colour into the winter home!
ReplyDeleteGlad you found the manual! I have much tossing and cleaning to do. Youngest goes back to school tomorrow and on Monday, that room is my first place to purge!
Love your paper cupcakes display. Have a blessed day. Madeline
ReplyDeleteAdorable! Even if you don't make a cupcake they are cute in the jar. :)
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute!
ReplyDeleteI do so wish we had a Michaels closer to us...
Tis the season to start purging, I guess. I've got the bug to do it, too. I'm going to try to see what I can come up with for the upcoming quiz garage sale as I go, but am not loving the idea of keeping the stuff around once it's in boxes, kwim?
Way cute cupcake paper liners, I will need to go to the dollar store and see if I can start a collection of my own. Hugs Mary
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea. I'm holding off a bit on cupcakes as well (I love cupcakes!) but now I can enjoy the happiness of the beautiful liners. A spot on the counter will be holding this. Thank you for the joy! Happy New Year.
ReplyDeletelove the cupcakes papers, so colorful and cheerful. and yes, we've a moratorium on cupcakes, too.

Your cupcake 'collection' is adorable! Think I might need to make a trip to Michael's soon.
ReplyDeleteOne of the things I'm going to tackle is the same as yours with your camera - get it off of 'Auto'! I need to sit down with the DVD and the manual and slowly work through it. I have several very good photography books that need to be read! I'm also lining up a furniture re-do project or two and trying to catch up a couple of small sewing projects for two family members. Think I'd better get busy!

Awwww!!! Can you hear me squeellllingggg from here!!! Oh how I wish I had a Michael's near by!! I would fill a jar just like yours. Oh sweet mercy those are cute! :o)
ReplyDeleteSoo cute and cottage-y! I love 'em! Time to head on over to Michaels....Have a super great day! Deanna
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up about the cupcake papers at Michaels.
ReplyDeleteI am finishing things this month. I make that a priority in January to try and finish old projects before beginnning new ones. I cleaned and purged just before Christmas so I'd have time to concentrate on unfinished business.
What cute cupcakes papers!
ReplyDeleteI am in the midst of getting my booth put together this week. It should be all set up over this weekend and I can get back to creating more things to put in it!
Hugs,
Penny
What a wonderful idea! I am going to try it. Mine are always smashed in the cabinet. Thanks for the idea. Have a blessed week. ~Sara
ReplyDeleteI just love this!!!! I have a lot of these wrappers....I am going to look for this container....:)
ReplyDeletehee hee how funny , i did this today after seeing it on another blog yesterday. They are really pretty cupcake cases xx
ReplyDeleteYou just proved how the simplest of things can bring pleasure! I have lots of cupcake liners too but no Michaels close by. The first thing on my list to do is clean the freezer. I also need to learn to use my new sewing machine that I got three months ago! Can you believe I haven't even threaded it yet!!
ReplyDeleteHello, I am sat here going around the world by blog hopping, much prefer doing that to going on FB, never can work that site. I am also learning about my camera which I have had for 2 years!! One of our sons-in-law showed us bits on it I didn't know about . So off we went to the shore the other night to photograph the sun setting to use this feature, it turned out great. So I am going to use the camera a lot more this year, especially when out geocaching. Also I want to learn more about my iPad I bought in Singapore a month ago.........so that's a challenge as I am no techie that's for sure lol. I also want to do more geocachers, and be busy with my tiny B&B.
ReplyDeleteO,sweet Kathy...no one but you could make cupcake papers look so precious.:))
ReplyDeleteNow, I am going to look for cute ones.
(like I really need another collection)

How striking! The colors in that jar...it's art!
ReplyDeleteI have a weakness for cupcake papers although I hardly if ever make them.
When you figure out those buttons...teach me...I cannot read a manual to save myself. I'm all about that automatic button!
Those are adorable. We make cupcakes all the time for birthdays now.
ReplyDeleteCute way to store all those cute cupcake liners!! Do not fear the camera manual. They make it much harder than it actually is :)
ReplyDeleteI love the cute cupcake papers and Michael's is THE place for them. I love the seasonal ones.
ReplyDeleteFunny you mentioned reading your camera manual...I just bought a new camera and I have vowed I will read the manual from cover to cover!
Happy Weekend, Kathy!
XO,
Jane
This just is so creative!! I think it feels like a work of art! Following manuals.....it must be a woman thing, for men don't do that, do they? lol
ReplyDeleteI bought same of those same liners. They are irresistable aren't they? No cupcakes actually sounds like a terrific idea...no fun but a good idea anyway.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea!! I love all the different colors :) So bright and cheery.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to tackle some new projects for my Etsy store. I've got a couple of other personal sewing projects that need to be done first.
Great idea! I'm going to go find something I need to learn for this cold and dreary time of the year. Glad you're feeling better. The cheesecake bites sound delish. I'd hang on to him if I were you. Mimi
ReplyDeleteThat is too funny! I just finished a cupcake liner wreath made from those very same liners!!
ReplyDeleteI love your display!
That dollar section has a nice assortment of stuff. I bought some notecards and a coupon book too.

Hi Kathy,
ReplyDeleteI love your papers collection. I do have some things on my "to do" list. One of them is to get back to learning more about Photoshop, and yes my camera too. The fun things first, and then onto tackling some organization projects around the house.
Wishing you a lovely evening.
Karen
Oooh, those are LOVELY!! And now I think you need just a bit of help munching your way through some cakes - and I am a very willing volunteer for such a task. ;-)

Love this idea too cute.....did you post the cookie recipe??
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever way to display your adorable cupcake holders. I love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great idea!!!
