Just sharing the pic of the cupcakes I made last night. Chocolate ones with chocolate frosting and dipped in either sprinkles, toffee bits, or chocolate chips. I refrained today from having them, trying to be dietary good.
Those are the cake plates, you can stack them also. I love them!
JadeOnline, what a darling Claire is? Do you think she will be a red head? She is already turning heads I bet!
Christina612, those teapots are so unique. I haven't seen anything like them. I remember taking a pottery class many years ago and I wanted to hand build a teapot and couldn't think of a design. Wish I had seen yours for inspiration!
Don't ask me why, but I missed the last question!!!!!!!! I just noticed everyone answering.... I must be REALLY SLOW on here! I'm trying to read everyones posts! & look at projects! I just posted one myself in my gallery!!!!!!!! ( I have MORE!!!!!!!)

Thank you! I've had a couple people suggest her hair looks a bit red, but it's actually quite dark in the back where it's longer. So no, I don't think she'll retain any red.
She is turning heads....daddy is wrapped around her little fingers, as are Grandma, Grandpa and Amma (her other grandmother). She's building an extensive collection of admirers.
Thank Christina! I like your crochet items too. Great Minds think alike!
Yeah, we do! Lol. I wanted to do something else for today's project, but my little people were way too busy this past week for me to do anything that required much thought, lol.
LOVE your family's tea party. It took me a second - those are goldfish crackers! I was in Cape May last month and they were served on our salad and called "Cape May croutons".
Beautiful cupcakes Susan, and beautiful presentation.
ABSOLUTELY!!! And speaking of doilies, everyone will get some paper doilies in the mail from me... I just got a new Nesties die cut of doilies so will send you some as a thank you. I also have a bag of fun tea theme items that I am going to mail out a prize to each of you also.
I have to get rolling here, I wish I could stay later but DH has to run some errands and is waiting on me...
I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE for making my morning a FABULOUS one!!! I really do wish we all lived nearer and could do tea live in person once in a while.
BTW, I am hosting a tea recipe swap on here if you want to come over and share recipes with us too!!! Not due for a few months so you have time to craft!
PLEASE BE SURE TO PM ME your mailing address so I can get your prize and thank you off to you!!! You might want to PM it to Ann Marie too at the same time.
LADIES: Feel free to stay on a while, I will catch up later too. And you can come back and see more too here as I'm sure others will post even more.
Thank you for all the fun and recipes!!! SHALL WE DO THIS AGAIN in a few months?!

Yes, we probably should do this again in a few months! I have to get going, too. DH is waiting for me to do some gardening and we have mulch being delivered soon. Long list of to-do's today. This has been great fun ladies! Thanks for sharing your ideas and goodies!
Susan,
Those cupcakes look so delicious. I am proud of you for resisting. Don't know how you did but you are an inspiration on making healthy choices!!
Yes, another one would be fun in a few months. I need to go to get ready for a noon to midnight crop today. Thank you, Susan, for putting this all together.
