My Birthday Blog-stravanganza – Cupcake Monday

{Today kicks off my Birthday Blog-stravagaza!!!!  Yeaaahh!!!! 

Each day this week a different guest blogger will be featured in a post.  The subject of the posts will be on one of my favorite things.  Be sure to check back daily to find out what they are. 

Also, there will be a daily giveaway having to do with one of my favorite things.  Today's giveaway is a Cupcake Kit (this one is Gluten-Free!)...to enter please leave a comment below about your favorite cupcake flavor.

Today's guest post is from Vanessa Valencia who is the magically wonderful artist whose blog,  A Fanciful Twist, is one that I heart.  I’ve mentioned her and her blog before and just love it….it makes me happy. 

Vanessa’s challenge was to take on one of my favorite things, Cupcakes, and write a post about it relating to parties and occasions.  These cupcakes look terribly delicious....

Thanks Miss Vanessa!}

What is it about cupcakes that make us twirl with glee?

They add a little tickle, and magical sweet breeze...

They are so very easy to make, and funner than fun to decorate...

Plink plink, sprinkling confections of greatest pleasantries.

Lovely little cakes of joy, to add a dash of, sparklie frosting twinkle love, to special days and every days ~ a sort of staple of life ;)

Don't you think?

They work to unlock anyone's fanciful whimsy, and set it free, one sprinkle at a time...

Oh ya.........

Any shape, and any color, any reason please...

No restrictions for occasions, to plunk your face in these...

No time to think of reasons... 

It's time, splurge, yummy yumm!

A very merry any little day to you, indeed! (don't forget to lick the plate clean)

And, if it's your birthday, have 3.

Don't worry, they're on me ;)

Nibble ~ frosting on your nose and chin... 

Mmmmm...

Cupcakes, make the world go round...

If you don't believe me, ask the bees ;)

My Birthday Blog-xtravaganza!

I am so excited about next week!  Since my birthday is next Tuesday, I have asked five of my favorite fellow blog-gals to be guest bloggers for me all of next week.  The lovely ladies who agreed to take on a fun challenge and guest post for me are:

Vanessa - A Fanciful Twist

Monique - Enchanted Expectations

Naleli - Essential Jewels

Michelle - Maddycakes Muse

Kim - Frost Me

Each day a different blog-gal will write a post about one of my favorite things.  It's kinda like what Oprah does when she has a favorite things show and gives away cars, vacations and refrigerators to audience members - except....I'm not Oprah ;)  Seriously though - there will be prizes so be sure to check back every day next week to find out the giveaway for the day!

On to other business.....

Yesterday I posted about my Midsummer Night's Dream themed birthday party that I will host next weekend with a few friends.  Well, let me start by saying that this is a last minute decision and it means three things; small guest list, small amount of time and small budget.  In my head, I'm planning all of these great things I'm gonna whip up and create and have a totally over the top bash.

REALITY: I know good and too darn well that is just my crazy talking.  I really don't have time to get invites in the mail, so I just have to do an Evite (which I secretly hate).  Luckily I came across this post about this product from Paperless Post that allows you to create real looking invitations that you can send via email....and the kicker is they look like real invitations!!!!  SEE!!!!!!

So, I will be sending a Paperless Post invite over to some friends shortly - can't wait.  I have some other decorating ideas in my head , as well - but I'm trying to figure out the easiet and thriftiest way to make it happen!  I'll share everything with you when I get off the crazy train - if there is actuall a way to do it.
