Tips Galore!

A few weeks ago I saw this post on Chris' blog. I had NO idea they had a cake decorating tool box! I HAD to get it. All of my cake decorating supplies were currently in zip lock bags. (They were in a box before the move, but I got rid of the box to conserve space, but still...how tacky is a brown box?)

Like the thrifty shopper that I am, I waited until I got a 40% off coupon from Michael's until I made the purchase.Needless to say this has been one of the best purchases I have made in a long time.

Since we are on the decorating subject, last week was our last French class so I made French inspired cupcakes for everyone. (I also made some small French flags that I stuck in them but I didn't get a photo.)
The French class was a great introduction to the language but we didn't really learn how to converse with each other. John and I will be starting the Rosetta Stone this summer, so hopefully that will give us the extra practice. 3.5 months until our trip...time to book some tickets!

That toolbox is genius! I will expect shipments of cupcakes to arrive weekly. Thank you.

I love your cupcakes! Hey, did I ever tell you I took a semester of French my senior year with a couple other Spanish majors. I should be headin' over there with you! Can't wait to see what other creations you make with your new tool box.

I almost never buy anything at Michaels without a coupon unless it is on sale. You can also find discounts at a ton of online shopping sites by typing "_________ coupon code". I was ordering at Target and searched for the code and saved 5 extra bucks on my order that already had free shipping. Score! Katy
