Politics & Pearls: Makenzie's Bachelorette Party
http://politicsandpearls-akd.blogspot.com/2011/06/makenzies-bachelorette-party.html
Tuesday, June 7, 2011. For my sister's bachelorette party a couple of weeks ago I did a "Margarita" theme, complete with Margaritas, Margarita cupcakes, homemade empanadas, taquitos, guacamole, chips and shrimp ceviche. I really enjoyed planning and decorating for it, even though I had to make it all fit in a hotel room! But it was fun! This is a topiary I made out of drink umbrellas, and by far my favorite part of the tablescape! June 17, 2011 at 4:53 PM. June 20, 2011 at 10:32 AM. Subscribe to: Post Co...

Politics & Pearls: February 2011
http://politicsandpearls-akd.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 28, 2011. In an effort to be an efficient and dedicated "blogger", (and because my life alone isn't interesting enough to blog about) I have come up with themes for each day of the week. This gives some direction and something to write about. Mondays from here on out are declared "Martha Stewart Mondays", where I will post my latest craft or cooking adventure. But its completed, and although she still cannot talk, based on her expressions she seems to love it! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Politics & Pearls: Tie-Dye Cupcakes
http://politicsandpearls-akd.blogspot.com/2011/06/tie-dye-cupcakes.html
Tuesday, June 7, 2011. Again, another cupcake post. But I've already admitted my obsession, so I make no apologies. I first made tie dye cupcakes when I was babysitting for a family that had just adopted 3 kids from Haiti. These kids had never had cupcakes before, can you believe it! And ever since I've been making tie dye cupcakes for my friends! Here are the cupcakes I made the other day for an event:. June 20, 2011 at 11:27 PM. I LOVE making these cupcakes!

Politics & Pearls: Another shot!
http://politicsandpearls-akd.blogspot.com/2012/01/another-shot.html
Friday, January 6, 2012. Well I'm back to try it again. New year, new opportunity. I'm terrible at this blogging thing. And by that, I mean that I'm terrible at actually blogging, because I blog every day in my head. But y'all don't have access to that now, do you? And its too bad, because my blog "posts" in my head are quite entertaining! I also love to shop, but my West Texas town is lacking in that department, and well, so is my bank account.). I cannot wait to share them with you! I might even find a...

Mix together the margarita mix and tequila. Use 1 and 1/4 cup of this in the cupcake mix and pour the rest over ice for a mini-rita while you're baking!

Wednesday, June 1, 2011. I know, it has been a while. But I'm free for the summer now and ready to fully tackle this blogging thing. And boy do I have TONS to blog about! From baking to cooking to sewing and shopping, I'm ready to blog! I even spent a couple of hours updating my template, how do you like it?

Politics & Pearls: January 2012
http://politicsandpearls-akd.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 18, 2012. On Wednesdays, We Wear Pink". Wednesdays are my "girly" days, where I can rave and rant about all kinds of frivolous things! So today, I want to rave about my new Scentsy products! There is nothing better than walking into a room that smells fantastic! In undergrad, I was obsessed with candle warmers and had some "melts" that not only looked like real cupcakes, but smelled like cupcakes fresh out of the oven! Even the sheets and pillows on my bed became infused with the smell!

Politics & Pearls: March 2011
http://politicsandpearls-akd.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 31, 2011. Its well known I love cupcakes, but my new obsession is shortbread cookies! I don't know what it is about these little things, but I adore them! I've gone out of control! Unlike with cupcakes, I truly enjoy the taste of of the cookies and could probably eat 3-4 in one sitting. Not "probably", I HAVE eaten 3-4 in one sitting. And worth every minute of the stomach ache that followed. But I had my heart set on these cookies! I went again this past week to get some more (this time t...
