In the meadow...

We can build a snowman. But first we need to get the cupcakes in the oven!

 This was a team effort for sure!

 I love the look of concentration here!

 Here we go...snow people in the works!

 Ready for their time in the oven!

 And now back to the cupcakes (notice the swirled ornaments in the background...we did those too!)

 Snowflake cupcakes!

 Happy Birthday!

I had a great time with these girls! A lot of them have been here before (some of them many times). It's always nice to have friends return to the workshop!

Enjoy!

1st Annual Cookie Exchange!

Yes, yes...I said annual. I have never been invited to a cookie exchange but always dreamed of being a part of one (everyone's gotta have dreams - big and small, right?) SO, inspiration struck and I decided to host one. BUT, with a Creative Bug twist...

What was the twist? Everyone arrived at Creative Bug HQ with bowls, hand mixers, cookie sheets and containers in hand...and they baked the recipes that I chose and it all happened IN my workshop!

We made Hello Dollys!

And Shortbread!

We spent time together...mothers and daughters of ALL ages...

Sisters and friends...

3 hours...in the confines of my workshop.

So, what do you get when you put together 12 people and a whole lot of butter and sugar? 10 different kinds of cookies totalling to about 6 dozen, a clean kitchen and a whole lot of fun!

I had a few people promise they will come back next year. It was a glorious moment in the Creative Kitchen. I am glad my mother was there to see it all unfold...to see my vision come to life. I know it's just cookies but there was more to it than that...next year, you'll have to book early because we were full this year!

Enjoy!

Just Beachy!

It all happens so fast...and then I suddenly realize, I have NO photos of the party!

Beach cupcakes, one of my favourites!

Happy Birthday!

These girls were great...they were singing Jingle Bells from around the world for me...it was quite lovely!

We also made Mini Scrapbooks and decorated Loot bags hoola style...I just didn't get any photos that day. Sad, I know.

Enjoy!
