Tea-Party Animal: What Happens When I Stay Inside

Sitting here, staring out at intermittent bouts of rain, thunderstorms, anything that could possibly be thrown to prolong Summer's arrival.  With one restrained inside (less my bubble umbrella and Wellies be dug out from under the pile of shoes in my closet), it is the best time to either 1) Bake, 2) Make something cute or funny, or 3) take the day off and search for something that fits into all three!  Enter my latest obsession of cuteness: another blog of note that has captured my undivided attention, My Milk Toof by Inhae Lee.  Following the adventures of two rambunctious baby teeth (ickle and Lardee) that have gone to the tooth fairy and come back to their owner to live out their wild, extremely cute, adventures, I can say no more than post my favorite short story out of the many posts and behind-the-scenes looks.  Enjoy!

One of the best presents I received for my birthday (just shy of two weeks ago) was the picture book featuring these Milk Teef, along with a cupcake themed gift bag from the best sister in the world!
Cupcake gift bag, clean wipes (strawberry scented), cupcake pin, emery board (not visible), and recipe book.
I love sugar, sweets, and sweet things (like ickle and Lardee) more than I should, but it helps me to stay a sweet person!

Hence the signature:

Until next time,
Love & Cupcakes!
