A Mom Not a Professional Nor a Perfectionist: Cupcake Keepsake

I love to have fun with paper, food, paint, music and events and just being creative in all of it. However, I don't feel the need to be a perfectionist nor a professional in any of my creations. I wish I could have a blog JUST about the art of cooking, photography, sewing, art, mothering, jewelry making, card making, dancing, gardening, deep spiritual thoughts, decorating, poetry, party planning, baking.... and the list goes on but I can't. I don't think I was created with the ability to focus on one task. I like all of these hobbies layed out before me and the freedom to pick whatever I choose depending on the mood or time I have.

Cupcake Keepsake

This delectable keepsake cupcake makes you want to bite into that fluffy frosting. Great to give as a gift to your lovely mother. Fill it with jewelry, chocolates or cookies!

I used a small round cardboard box. Covered the bottom half with scrapbook paper and the lid with crepe paper that was twisted into long strips. Then it was glued on in a pyramid like form until it looked like fluffy frosting! Sprinkled it with mini pom poms. These are also great party favors for a bridal shower, cupcake themed party, 1st birthdays....
