Spooks, treats and holiday cheer!

So, that's me on Halloween!! I went as a brunette Sookie Stackhouse from "True Blood". We stuffed ourselves with Mexican food and then took the kids trick-or-treating. Then we came home and made ourselves sick on candy, cupcakes and caramel apples! Fun times!!

My Zomieland Pistachio Cupcakes with Almond Buttercream

True Blood Red Velvet Cupcakes with "Spiked" Buttercream

I also wanted to let you all know about a swap that I'm hosting on Flickr.

It's our second annual
HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS SWAP!!

We're swappin' at least:
ONE handmade Ornament or Decor item

THREE Christmas/Holiday inspired items

AND lots of vintage ephemera!

Cupcake LOVE!!

Realizing that I haven't posted any cupcakes in awhile,

so I thought I'd better get to it!

Here are the cuppies I made for Brendan's birthday party

inspired by "Hello, Cupcake" and "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs".

Of course we had to stop at Wonderland Bakery

on our way home from the beach... YUM!

Made these cuppies for Brendan's teacher's birthday.

Well, thanks for checking out some long overdue
CUPCAKE LOVE!!
