It's a Problem Really...

(my attempt at a Valentine's Day banner- it still needs ribbon!)

Have I mentioned before that I have a thing for faux cupcakes? I just love those little suckers. And truth be told, faux dessert food in general, makes me smile.  But what started with a few (ie 3) cupcakes I found at the Phoenix Children's gift shop, of all places (and yes, even if I am confined to a hospital for three straight weeks with a sick baby I can still find a way to shop), has snowballed in the last 8 years... I have an entire display of glass candies in my kitchen at Christmas time, and my cupcakes even spread into these adorable spider web ones for Halloween. But no holiday has more of my favorite little devils than Valentine's Day. I even caught a shot with my second favorite obsession, maybe they'll get their own post too.








My name is Caryn, and I am a faux cupcake-aholic.

I love your addictions. Unfortunately, they spread to me. I just don't have all the cute ones you have! Congrats, by the way. I haven't even thought about Valentine's decoration. Well, I did, but I ignored the thought.

I wanna be one too! I just need to find the time and moolah to start collecting... Besides, I never really decorate anyway. Who am I kidding?

Oh, but I do have 1 decoration in my kitchen for V Day. That counts, right?

Oh, I love those! The only problem is I'd find myself wanting to make real ones to match so I could eat them . . .

SO cute! Okay, Caryn...I must know where you got the adorable white frames that the cute little red heart is dangling from!

Fun. I agree with Amanda. They would want me to make some to eat. Not good for the waist. Soo Cute though!

How do you decorate like that with three boys? I am in awe. I figure with little kids I'm doing good to decorate for Christmas, the rest of the holidays are out of luck. :)

As I play catch up, posts will appear in chronological order so, scroll down because there is sure to be a new post below...
