Cupcake Nana Cousin Camp--Summer 2016

-
Nana Cousin Camp this week
had a cupcake theme.
For dinner we ate
 delicious Marco's Pizza
(David told his mama that Nana always
cooks the best food for Nana Camp--Do
I have him fooled or what?)
Then the cupcake decorating
started in earnest.

Caleb's creation
The eyeball decorations were
a huge hit.

Cora was VERY focused on
her decorating and went
heavy on the sprinkles

Aaron was the first to eat
his decorated cupcake.

Let's show off our handiwork.

Speaking of handiwork, I tried to make
egg free cupcakes since Cora
has egg allergies.
This is how they turned out.
High altitude baking is NOT my friend.
So, I next resorted
to a good old-fashioned
cake mix and Cora's mama said
a little egg wouldn't hurt her.
Whew!

As you can tell,
Nana didn't just fall off the turnip
truck.  When using sprinkles
and lots of frosting,
you do the decorating outside on
the deck.

You might remember Anna Kate
from previous year's Cousin Camps.
Her family lived right next door until
last summer when they moved
to Denver.
They are back in Colorado Springs,
although unfortunately
not right next door,
so Anna Kate joined us.
We love that girl--
and the whole family.

David

Cora



As you can tell from David's
smile, cupcake decorating
was a big hit!

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi...

Texas Bluebonnets and Spring are synonymous! What a beautiful display of God's beauty! My friend, Lea, gave me a beautiful silver bluebonnet charm created by James Avery . You can see it by clicking the link above. I love wearing it because it reminds me of my roots. I still remember the Bluebonnet Song that I learned in elementary school. Bluebonnets, Bluebonnets, With your coats so blue Your bright eyes are shining In the morning dew. They say you're a dolly Offered for the rain And Texas wears blue Bluebonnets in the Spring. Anyone else sing that song as a child?

Love Present from a Friend

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is to receive a Love Present . The definition of a Love Present is a gift that someone gives you for no special occasion, but just because. My sweet friend, Claudia, came by the other day with the cutest dishes. She had found them at an antiques store and she said they just looked like me. Don't they make a beautiful display in my kitchen bookshelves? Thank you, Claudia, for the dishes, but most of all for the thought behind the Love Present .
