Candy Corn Cupcakes

I created some cupcake bath bombs yesterday for Halloween. The bath bombs are layered in the colors of candy corn, frosted with yellow icing and topped with a piece of candy corn. And of course scented like....candy corn. I am sensing a theme. :)

They are now available in my shop

Word of the day ~ PEAR

PEAR

I have decided to pick a word of the day occasionally and write a little post dealing with that word. Today's word is "Pear" because I picked some of our fresh organic pears off of our trees in the yard yesterday. I am going to make the kids some pear sauce. A pear version of apple sauce.

Hope you enjoy!

Oh, to be a kid again

I have found a shop on Etsy that makes me wish I was a kid again. This wonderful little shop is called Look, Mama Made It. According to the shop announcement the owner is Silvia a mom to a 5 year old girl. What a lucky little girl to have such a talented mommy. Silvia makes a variety of pretend felt creations and all of it is sooo adorable. She sells fruit, vegetables, cupcakes, bithday cakes, eggs, sausage, cookies, bow tie pasta, lollipops, and dolls. Hope I did not leave out anything. I had to find some of these items in her sold items....evidently I am not the only one who loves this shop. :)

With Christmas and two kids birthdays coming up I am definatly going to have to buy some of these!!

What is your favorite item in her shop?

Featured Seller ~ Tutu Cute & Moore!

Featured Seller Nancy from:
Tutu Cute & Moore

How did you name your shop?
In 2001, I was approached by a B&M children's boutique shop owner to design a line of over-the- top tutus for her grand opening, thus "Tutu" had to be there. Of course they were really…."Cute"! After expanding my product line, I added "Moore", so buyers would know I offered more than just tutus. Because my mother was my first sewing teacher and my maiden name was Moore, using "Moore" was the final touch. Tutu Cute & Moore!, I love it!

By the way, seven years later, I'm still selling to the same boutique.

When is your "creating" time?
I create when the mood strikes me. My best work happens when I'm feeling it. Thankfully, I usually can't wait to walk into my studio!

What item in your shop are you most proud of?
I think this would have to be my tutus, because these are what Tutu Cute & Moore! was founded on. Oh, my birthday party hats are pretty awesome, too. And I'm really proud of....oops, I'm supposed to select just one!

Tell us about your life outside of creating and selling. (Family, hobbies, pets, ect.)
My time outside of Tutu Cute & Moore! is spent with my husband of 38 years, who is still my one and only! We have a kitty, Squirt and a yellow lab, Maggie to keep us company. I attend a yoga class four times a week and teach a class for seniors 65+, which is extremely rewarding. The remainder of my time is taken by my 20 month old granddaughter. After raising two sons, you can only imagine how excited I was to have a little girl to make tutus for!

Who is your biggest supporter?
Definitely my husband! He has always given me the freedom I need to do what I love and stands behind me 100%. He's also my computer guru and helpful with shipping when I'm in a pinch with orders.

What is your goal for your shop?
My goals are simple.....continue to thrive, as I have since 2001!

If you could have a super power what would it be?
Bring peace to our world.

Favorite time of the year? Why?
Spring, because nature is so excited to start over, year after year. I love that!

Who is your role model? Why?
My role models are people who have made it through difficult situations in their lives and have found strength to move forward. They keep me focused and help me count my many blessings each day.

Calling ALL Americans

Okay so this is generally not a topic I blog about but I am upset!

Are you registered to vote in the Nov. elections? (don't roll your eyes it is not polite) :)
I have heard one person too many say that they are not going to vote because they don't have the time or because it does not affect them. WHAT are you kidding me?! All you have to do is make sure you are registered and go to your polling place on election day to cast your ballet. Now does that sound hard?
For those of you who have not registered yet the deadline is coming up soon so please register now. You can register on-line at http://www.rockthevote.com/. Here in Arkansas the deadline is Oct. 6th (only 2 weeks away) but it is different for each state.
As for the people saying "It does not affect me". Your right it does not affect you if you do not work, live, attend school, eat, sleep, drive, shop, or pay taxes in the United States. If you do however participate in any of those activities then YES IT DOES AFFECT YOU!! This is an election to pick the next leader of our country. They will be making many, many decisions that will affect your daily life for at least the next 4 years. Okay now go register if you have not already. http://www.rockthevote.com/ You have the time...all you are doing is reading my blog. :)

Get informed about the candidates and VOTE please!! Feel free to comment.

It's so easy a stick man can do it!! hehe
