"spring merriment"

Friday Pretties

You crack me up. So clever, but just how many of those cupliners do we need. I'm thinking quite a few. Did you buy out all of Canada? Sorry, it's been a long day and I think I might be losing my mind tonight. I'm laughing so hard my side is hurting and I can barely type. I'm guessing you know my sense of humor by now.

Craft on, I can't wait to see the whole display,

You know who.....giggling-giggling.

Hearts Turned said...

So springy & pretty, Koralee! Reminds me of all the cupcake pretties you made in "Where Women Cook"--my girls and I have been going nuts over those--next up on our mom/daughter creating days!

Hope you're having a wonderful night, my friend!

I love the butterfly liners so pretty. I know you said Spring, but I see little girl Birthday Party! How cute would that be to have strung all across a window!

Very Pretty Friday!

sweetie you need all the paper liners you can get ... with as much baking and treat-making as you've been doing lately =)
but a garland would be wonderful too!
me and hubby had a baking discussion tonight ~
which do we prefer a. pie b. cake
it was a unanimous decision PIE

BEAR HUGS Friday Pretty

Not Just a Waitress said...

Using them for garland is such a great idea!!! :) There have been times I've almost wanted to keep the liners because they're too cute to use.
OOOH!!! I just thought how cute it would be to get ones that are the theme of a child's party and make garland AND cupcakes!!
As usual, you have inspired me, Koralee.
Also, I got your message:) I couldn't be happier that you like your little gifts. :)

Libbie said...

Now that will brighten up any party! I have never seen that done before...I'll have to remember that one!!! :)

Susan said...

Funny how cupcake liners even without the cupcakes can be so DELIGHTFUL! :)
The colors~ the butterflies~ the garland~
put a smile on my face! Another wonderful idea! Bless you, sweet friend! ((hugs))

Aww - you know I´m a sucker for these things! :-)

You´re absolutely right, no grilled cheese for a headache head - it did disappear during night though (thank goodness)! :-)

There are so many gorgeous paper liners. I buy them just to have on display and look at. (Well I use a few for their intended purpose - the rest are for display). Love your wreath.

Warm Hugs,

A cupcake garland, never thought of that! It's perfect for the Spring party in our home Sunday 13th. Thinking about a yellow and white theme. The pre-joy is so much fun already.
Anyways, I will definitely make this garland! Thank you for another sweet idea, lovely Koralee.
Have a haPpY HapPY weekend, my friend xxxxx Is Molly in Sweden already? I believe temperatures in Sweden are a bit lower than in England.
