Love in Cupcake Form

It's almost that time again.
That time when love is in the air,
and cupcakes are in the oven.
One tradition I have kept up over the years is
baking for my loved ones for Valentines day.
I feel like theres no better way to tell someone you love
them when you hand them a sweet fluffy cupcake of love.
Last year, I did a cupcake experiment and
this year we are doing a cupcake fundraiser at work for the Relay for Life.
Thirteen of us are taking orders for cupcakes and
decorating them with a Valentines theme.
I'm so excited to send the order forms around and find out how many I'll be making.
Of course I'll make extra, my husband wouldn't let them out of the house otherwise.
What do you like to do for Valentines day?
All My Love,
Lyndsay

Loving Lately

 
 
I love EOS lip balm more than anything I have ever put on my lips before.
I have a hard time keeping my lips from getting chapped.
It seemed like no matter what I do,
no amount of exfoliating,
I just cant keep my lips chap free.
 
Until I stumbled across this stuff and then my mind was blown.
I buy it every time I'm out and I have a bunch of it all over the place.
I have every flavor except the sweet mint one.
I'm not a fan of sweet mint for some reason.
Not gum. Not chap stick. No thanks.
 
But anyways, I think I'm kind of late jumping on the EOS bandwagon.
But better late than never, right?
Have you tried it yet?
If not, go do it right now.
Or later.
And let me know what you think. :)
 
All My Love,
Lyndsay

Secrets.


We all have them...some good, some bad, some just plain 'ol embarrassing.
And they are never talked about, until now...
A few weeks ago I was reading one of my fave blogs, Living in Yellow, and she had got the idea from one of her fave blogs of having her readers leave comments anonymously.
The twist was that they weren't just regular comments, these were comments telling of their deepest, darkest secrets.
Hence the anonymous posting!
I will tell you, I couldn't stop reading every comment.
I kept going back just to see if new secrets had been posted.
(I may have even posted a secret of my own)
Most of them were hilarious, some of them embarrassing and a few made me tear up.
It was awesome!
So I'm going to be a little copy cat-er and give you all a chance to share your secrets ANONYMOUSLY right here on All My Love. :)
 
This is going to be fun. Nobody will know it was you.
(As long as you remember to post as anonymous!) 
P.S. Make sure you spread the word,
the more people who know,
the more dirty little secrets you get to read!
And don't worry, I'll be posting a few secrets of my own. 
Ready?....GO!

Making Storage Fun




Not including the cost of the tote (which I don't remember, I bought it a while ago) I only had $3 in this little makeover. I use these totes to keep all of my nail polish and manicure stuff in. They snap together on top of one another and the lid has a handle so that I can carry it with me places.

I bought the sticky paper at TJ Maxx. They had all kinds of patterns but that one is my favorite! This little project was so simple. On the back there are grids so that you know you're cutting a straight line. All I did was trace around the tote, cut it out, peel the backing and stick it.

I bought two rolls of it and I have PLENTY left over to do all kinds of neat stuff as soon as I come up with some more ideas. I saw on Pinterest where you can line the shelves in your fridge with patterned sticky paper. Maybe that will be next!? Ah, the possibilities. :)

All My Love,
Lyndsay
