In the fall I received a Silhouette Portrait machine and was so excited but it was right as we began the remodeling of my office/craft room and the box got put into storage. Then when it came to planning out Sawyer's Pirate Themed Birthday Party I knew my Silhouette would be a big help and went searching for it.

{Almost} Wordless Wednesday – Mickey Mouse Cupcakes, Sorta…
Gavin recently celebrated his third birthday. Ok, a little longer then recently but it has taken me a bit to get the pics onto a CD. He didn't want a cake this year he wanted cupcakes! Plus, he wanted Mickey Mouse cupcakes! I know they aren't no Martha Stewart cupcakes, but he was happy! I've never made my own frosting before. I used the recipe on the back of the Hershey Cocoa.
