~a box full of joy~


my cupcakes are going to be formally well-dressed from now on.....these are just a few of the cupcake liners & sprinkles I received in my mailbox from my lovely friend Madelief {you must go say hi.........her garden is stunning}. Thank you my friend I am going to have so much fun playing dress-up with my cupcakes

I got another batch from a sweet Australian friend...I will show you those soon

chocolate dots... red velvet stripes..... lemon flowers..... banana all red..... vanilla dots and flowers.......this is going to be so fun as soon as my back let's me


did you notice how these liners match my apron in my banner................joy x 100...it doesn't take much to make me happy.

No way!!! I hadn't noticed the matching until you mentioned it, but it's so true! How wonderfully perfect. Ahhh, red, how I love your colors and shades.

Hope you had a lovely weekend. Xoxo

PRECIOUS ONE!!! Oh, how I love your mind...to dress up your cupcakes is SO NECESSARY to sprinkle life with that extra dose of sweetness!!!! HOW ARE YOU FEELING TODAY???? MY LEGS ARE IN PAIN..I either have a pinched nerve or something is wrong...I so dread going to the doctor because even though I have insurance, the copay is HUGE!!!! I must go however. I am NOT tired, and I have no other muscle pain in my upper body, but my legs and hips are a mess, and that is so UNLIKE ME...yeah, I know I will be 53 on the 23rd, but WOW!!!! Am I aging that quickly??? I really think I did it lifting furniture, but this is ridiculous!

Let me know how you are feeling precious....Anita

Hi Koralee,

Oh my... these are so pretty and match the sweet fabric of your apron.
I also enjoy visiting Madelief and she really does have the most gorgeous garden.
Sending healing wishes dear friend and hope that your back is feeling better, so sorry for you.

Hugs
Carolyn

What a treat to receive dress up clothes for your cupcakes. Just lovely! And I love the color and how it matches the apron in your header.

Suz said...

Guess what, Koralee. I did notice! I just stopped and looked at all the wonderful colors together and they made me feel happy, too. What an absolutely great gift.
Rest and take care of you, my friend. Back pain is no fun!
Big hugs,
Suz

Maria said...

Hi Koralee!
Your cupcake liners are so adorable! and YES, look at how they match... 100% parfait!
Lately, when I make chocolate cupcakes, I use simple liners, then add some pizazz with pretty ones! I LOVE the reds... must add more of those to my jar!
Sunday night --> Monday, after a long weekend! Thank goodness there's Bluebird Notes to finish this weekend with a smile :o)
Blessings to you always, Koralee* wishing you much comfort ♥ as you start a new week.

Oh dearest, this is going to be your third week off of school??? And you are finally going to the chiropractor? I have never been to one either! And if I have ever had a back or neck pain or injury, I would ALWAYS bounce back but the age thing REALLY does kick in! Well, my pain does NOT keep me awake, fortunately. I feel it when I am sitting down and when I get up! I am best when I am walking! So the pains are not preventing me from moving. It is a stiffness, but NOT in my joints.....oh, it is confusing! Oh dearest, I will keep praying for you. Yes, you must have a chiropractor!

Thank you for hoping over to my birthday bash and I will check up on you soon.....Love always, Anita

The Moerks said...

Oh so sweet. I am dying to see what your Aussie friend has. I am in Australia, it might be something I just have to have. Hurry up and show me please......

Madelief said...

Hi Koralee,

I am so glad the box arrived! I was already considering sending a new one. The liners do look a lot like your apron indeed.

I haven't used your liners yet either, but it's my birthday soon.....and we all love cupcakes :-).

Take care with your back!

Lieve groetjes, Madelief

Castles Crowns and Cottages said...

KORALEE! O.K., the massage did not help....LET US PRAY and hope that the chiropractor can do the trick! I am soooooo thinking of you dear one, for the pain has got to be unbearable. TWO WEEKS OFF OF SCHOOL...how nice, BUT you will have so much to do! BUT THE WORST THING is the pain you have to live with. Oh dearest, have you baked more? We look forward to your lovely ideas for spring and summer. Keeping you in my prayers, Anita

Unknown said...

soooooo cutie!!!! that stack is a PERFECT match for that apron ... it is an apron of liners!!! LoVe!!! xoxo

michelle said...

Hello sweet friend! I have missed your bright and cheery posts so and I am so sorry about your back. I pray that you are feeling better soon and are able to start using these gorgeous liners!! How fun and so sweet! I love that they match and it for sure the little things that make the biggest impact on joy. :)

Well dressed cupcakes for sure! These are the loveliest liners I have seen.
So, what kind of yummy cupcakes are you going to bake for these pretty red liners? I look forward to seeing!

red ticking said...

hi sweet friend... sorry i have been out of touch ... you know you are ALWAYS very close to my heart... i had a bad fall yesterday and crushed the btm part of my spine... 6 weeks + recovery... so sad... but we had a great weekend up to that point... hope you are doing very well... xoxo

Castles Crowns and Cottages said...

PRECIOUS! Oh, DO YOU KNOW THAT I PRAYED FOR YOU AND EVEN THIS MORNING, about 15 minutes ago when I got up, YOU WERE ON MY MIND and I said a prayer. THEN I SEE YOUR COMMENT, and WOOOOOOOO!!! Now that is fabulous news my sweet! I have never been to a chiropractor, but it sounds as if this was a great experience for you!!! YOU ARE FEELING BETTER??? And doesn't the sitting do the worst? Up and about, walking around, EVEN RUNNING for me (down the hall, like a maniac), is better than sitting. WOOOOO, when I get up, these hips are stiff...well, this is fabulous news to help me start my day. Today, the children take their MCA tests, the Minnesota Comprehension Assessments and they are HIGH STAKES. We have been prepping them and I pray they do well...poor things!!!

HAVE A PAIN FREE DAY and bake us up something blue, pink, red and wonderful!!!! Bises, Anita

Susan said...

I do love that your cupcake liners match your apron! I'm all about a theme, you know! TOO CUTE! Are you getting any relief from your back pain? I'm hoping, wishing and praying you'll feel completely well!
Blessings!

Unknown said...

These sure are cutie pa-toot-ies. I of course will take mine in the polka dot one, please. What fun you are going to have. Sorry, I've been soooooo relaxed poolside on this trip. Don't want to miss one part of being outside after the long winter.
