You can't sit with us!!!

Wait, really?!

Okay, there are some pretty tacky royal wedding tchotchkes out there, but THIS really takes the cake.

It's a 5'9" refrigerator. A refrigerator. Where you store your leftover pizza.

Cuteness overload.

OMG, so adorable!!!!!

Oh, wow.

So, I love dogs, but this is a little ridiculous. A coal baron in China has paid 10 million yuan (about $1.5 million, eek!) for a Tibetan Mastiff.

I mean, he's cute, but reeeeeeeallllllly?! OVER A MILLION DOLLARS FOR A DOG? That's just ridiculous.

And China, ever the "one-per-household" enthusiasts, have recently enacted a one dog per household limit. There must be thousands of domesticated dogs in the country that need to be adopted or face euthanization.

I hope that dog is insured.

Strawberries and Champagne Cupcakes

This past weekend I made some cupcakes for a friend of mine who has been DROOLING over certain pictures I put up on facebook a few weeks back. While I remade a batch of the grasshopper cupcakes for him (per his request -- I prefer not to look back, haha), I also tried a new flavor combination: strawberries and champagne.

Really, what's more romantic than strawberries and champagne? They're FAMOUS for going well together, and if you can put frosting on them? Well, it just makes them THAT much better!

The grasshopper ones are on the right, if you couldn't figure it out.

Anywho, they actually turned out really well! Not too sweet, which is good for the people who don't like going into sugar shock when they bite into a dessert, but still delicious! Next time I would probably put double the amount of strawberries, though...

LOLs

Voldemort strikes again!

Craftiness - Book Page Wreath

Look what I made this weekend!

It's an upcycled book page wreath! Super easy, and super cheap! You can just take any old paperback book you have lying around (or if you can't bear to tear one of your own up, then you can buy a trashy romance novel at the 99 Cent Store), and buy a floral foam form of a wreath - also at the 99 Cent Store - and get to (hot) glueing!

This particular wreath form was not round all the way around, it had four sides. At first I was a little worried that it would make it too boxy, but it turned out fine! It cost me less than $2, too, so I like that.

I used about 3/4 of one 300 page book...I glued pages around the form first, so that the annoying green foam wouldn't flake anymore and you couldn't see if through the paper. In total, I spent about 3 hours on this project during a House Hunters International marathon.

Happy crafting!
