What a great shop that is!!! I had some PayPal credit sitting around so bought my favorites — the Santa Noel/Believe gift tags (which we’ll use as invitations probably). And I already have you on my blogroll, but still subscribed so this way I get a double dose of bloggity coolness
AND I absolutely love you Breast Cancer Awareness cupcakes! My best friend has been hit with it so it means a lot to me whenever I see anyone supporting the cause.

Oh, as for future cupcakes….I saw a repeat episode of Paula Deen today. Her guests on the show made cupcakes to look like a tv dinner. One cupcake looked like a fried chicken leg, another looked like mashed potatoes and gravy (white frosting, starburst candy for the butter and caramel for the gravy) and the third cupcake was frosted green and topped with “peas and carrots”! They were really adorable!!!!
