Cupcakes!

I saw these adorable polka-dot cupcake wrappers at a local store a fews days ago, and I just had to buy them! I'd been wanting to make cupcakes for a while now, and since everything I needed to make them was all ready to go and I finally had some freetime, I decided to make some vanilla cupcakes earlier this afternoon.
They turned out really well and were oh so delicious!
Plus, they looked super cute in their little wrappers!

Black Friday Shopping 2010

Phew...I am exhausted! I've been up since 2 a.m. shopping Black Friday Deals!! First it was off shopping with B's family for toys. Then when I got home, I went out again with my sister and mom to find some gifts for B and the rest of my family. The good news is that I am right on track with our Christmas budget. I'd love to share some of the deals that I picked up, but that would ruin the present surprise once family and friends read this post.

Did you go out shopping today (Black Friday)? If so, what deals did you score?

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today is the day to give thanks. I have many things to be thankful for including the love and support of my family. They are always there and I really appreciate that. :) Love you!!

Wishing your Thanksgiving will be filled with family and love!

My favorite song, which happens to be my favorite the holiday song, is Norah Jones and Willie Nelson's, take on "Baby It's Cold Outside".

Halloween Parade

Want to know what I dressed up as for Halloween this year? A wildcat! Rawr! ;)

I had won a Star Costumes $30 Gift Certificate from a giveaway over at Happily Blended a little over a week ago, so I put the GC towards the Wildcat Cutie Teen Costume. Shipping was really fast. It arrived in just a couple days -- arriving just in time for Halloween!

The costume, which also came with gloves, a collar, ears, and a tail, looks so very cute! I love it. I really like the pink lace-up detail on the dress, and the heart paws on the gloves are the perfect touch and help make this costume different from similar ones I've seen out there. To complete the look, I wore "cat-like" makeup, my favorite ballet flats, and my We Love Colors footless tights in black. The final result = an adorable wildcat on the prowl for fun and scary movies!
