Happy 2012 resolve to do it better


I thought I would start this post with some words before minis. I know I have been long over do for a post. I want to start off with a Happy New Year wish. So " Happy New Year" I was thinking about all I want to do in this new year and there is lots. But really the more I thought about it the more I kept coming back to the word " Better". Better friend, better mom. better eater, better blogger etc. the list goes on. It isn't a bad word not at all. For me it gives me hope and strength to know that no matter what I want to do things better. Be kind, love lots and most of all stop worrying about what you can't change and start doing something about what you can. Happy 2012 friends...... Post with minis coming soon. (better blogger) Mini hugs~

Let the beauty we love be what we do........









Since I haven't been a good blogger lately I thought I would just let the pictures speak for themselves. They express just some of what I have been doing over the last few weeks. Yes, my miniature life has been busy and to me beautiful. I wouldn't trade it for anything. I hope you enjoy your visit here today. Happy Holidays and of course mini hugs~

Its all in a days work





So today started out with a empty little display unit. Painted shabby white a week ago I had a hard time deciding what to put inside. Should it be bread?, should it be cupcakes?, and then I decided I wanted to fill it with muffins. And so my day began....... I made blueberry, blueberry crumb, cherry, cherry crumb, chocolate, lemon poppy seed, pumpkin and banana. I'm happy to have it done and I think it turned out just as I hoped. I hope you like it too. Off to bed I go with a homemade pumpkin muffin in my hand. Nothing like the real thing....... its what inspires me. Till next time. Mini hugs~

I think I will be running to the store in a bit to help with this craving these minis have caused me to have tonight. Thought I would share them with you and see if they have the same effect. I hope all is happy in your mini world. I will be back soon with more fun things to see. I promise this will be a fun place to visit again. Now where are my keys? Mini hugs~

When life hands you lemons...........






So as summer is coming to a end we have been enjoying some beautiful weather. Made a big bowl of fresh salsa on Sunday. While at the farmers market I stood next to a display of lemons and the smell was amazing. Lemons are summer to me. Fresh lemonade, ice tea with lemon, fresh fish with lemon and of course life wouldn't be complete without lemon cake. Lemon bundt, lemon pound, lemon layer and the list goes on...... So today I share with you some mini lemon baking. A great way to start don't you think? I instantly smell lemon when I see these pictures. I hope you do the same. Enjoy! Mini hugs~
