Join me in my novice attempt to bake red heart-shaped cupcakes. Remember when I posted that I was going to make heart shaped cakes? Here they are!

First ~ tell me what it is about Pinterest that makes me feel like I want to be, and could be, the best baker, the best seamstress, the best make-up artist, and so forth and so on. Secondly, the cakes didn’t come out red they came out pink. Live and learn. I’ll know for next time. Remember, I said novice… although isn’t that what it’s all about? Mama always said, “You’ll never know until you try!”

First the cookies…

I had this cookie ready for the little guy when I picked him up from school to which he promptly groaned and said, “Not another cookie.”

– After that it was on to the cupcakes –

2014 ~ Organization

I am working toward better organization this year. As of this morning this is what the computer desk looked like. Normally the computer desk is clean because I need space to use the computer, but this morning I took everything from the return of my desk and put it right in front of me so I could sort it out.

Here we have –

Coupons that need to be clipped.

Nail art for a post I wanted to do… back in November.

Old Navy coupons that I swear I’m going to use this time.

A holiday gift for my son’s teacher, but because we were all sick with the flu the week before Christmas I didn’t wrap it or give it to her.

A free sandwich coupon. It took me over a year to earn that bad-boy and my God I am going to use it. It expires this Sunday.

Below, is my new friend that is going to help me do all of the above and then some. In this handy-dandy notebook (Blues Clues anyone?) I will attempt to write down an assignment for the day (I seriously just chuckled a bit after typing that last sentence) and then mark them off when I am finished.

I cannot believe I am putting this all in writing. Now I have to do this, I must…

I must be really desperate for a blog post.

Wish me luck!
