A Surprise, a Guest Post, a WIN and other news!

I hope all of you Moms had a wonderful Mother's Day! I know I sure did!!

One of the most FUN parts of my day was when a friend found out what she got for Mothers Day.....

Bridget, of Bake at 350 has THE SWEETEST hubby and son.......

They are sending her to visit ME this summer!!! WOOOOHOOOOOO!!!

Bridget's husband had been emailing me secretly, and set everything up.

I was bursting inside keeping this secret!

Whew! It feels SO good to be able to tell everyone about it!!
I can't WAIT to meet Bridget, and have a whole list of fun things we can do while she's here!

Then this morning I woke up to this..........

What an HONOR!
You really do have it going on over here Cheryl!
TidyMom is just BOOMING with excitement!
I think you and Bridget should use that $50 that you won to fly out here for the day...to visit poor pitiful ME...stuck up here on Bainbridge Island...isolated from the rest of the world!
Now that would be KIND! ;o)
Really and truly!
Can't wait to hear what you and Bridget come up with to do!
Shhhhhh!
Try to resist using it to get pedicures when BRIDGET comes to TOWN!
Ha...haha! ;o)
Hugs and kisses to you my friend!
yeah!
So delighted for you! xo

I just checked out your guest post at Robyn's site, and I LOVE your post! Thanks so much for the great, yet simple ideas on how to make the best cupcakes ever! I love ideas like this...and I can't wait to get home to try it out. Thanks also for the tip on using an ice cream scoop for the perfect-sized cupcakes. I've never tried that, and it's a great idea!
