I haven't updated in awhile because I haven't wanted to. Blogging is harder than it seems. I've decided that I'm just going to write about whatever I want to.

This post will be Martha themed. Not on purpose, but I just realized that I got this recipe and instructions from Martha Stewart's website.

First, I made these cupcakes last Tuesday, I believe. The liners are actually very adorable (you can't see them very well in the pictures), which I got in a cupcake kit from Barnes and Noble (I also got a felt craft kit, and since I had a gift card altogether it was 5 dollars. I was mighty pleased with that, and decided to share the fact with anyone who would listen).



I used Sprinkle's Strawberry cake recipe, it was good but it wasn't very strawberry-ey. I used frozen strawberries, so maybe if I had used they would have been better. I just used canned frosting, because I'm lazy.

And lastly, here is a paper flower bouquet. There are nine total, and with the exception of two of them, I made them on Saturday. There are dark pink ones, light pink ones, and peach ones. The instructions are actually for large pom-pom things, but as long as you use a 2-3 ratio, you can make them any size you want. I've found that 4 x 6 is the perfect size for flowers. And since I'm too much of a girl, wouldn't they be an awesome bouquet? I am totally doing this for my wedding bouquet.


Other than that, this past week I have "cleaned" out my photobucket (by "cleaned," I mean that I deleted some pictures but still have a gross amount), practiced for a skit for my debut as an actor (or for a VBS), and slept some. I liked this week.
