Last year, the hubs and I hosted a cookout plus swimming & fireworks for July 4th. We’ll probably do the exact same thing this year. But no complaints here… I love this new tradition!
I’ve decided that what we need now is some good, patriotic cupcakes to complete our celebration! I can’t help but share a few masterpieces that I stumbled across while looking for an easy, but still impressive creation! (Sorry in advance!
mmmmm…)
WOW! These are truly amazing & inspiring, BUT I think I’ll just make some simpler buttercream cupcakes with a little decorative star on top! HA!
In other news – We’ve just been at the beach for a much-needed, week-long vacation. It was so beautiful & relaxing (maybe that laid back attitude is affecting my cupcake energy)! I’ll need to sort through my pictures, and I’ll post some of my faves this week. In the meantime, here’s just one that I took on my phone (<-- my new iPhone 4, which I love!) So pretty…

Heading home now, and wishing you all a safe & happy Independence Day weekend!
