When I decided to do today's post on sock monkeys, I thought it was going to be a serious history and tribute to the Sock Monkey. I checked out Wikipedia and the history is interesting, but if you want to read it, I guess you'll have to go there yourself. Why? Because as I began checking out shops that list items under Sock Monkey, I got to laughing so hard all I wanted to do was share the imagination and creativity that dwells in the Sock Monkey World.

So I admit I got a little side tracked, but I hope you'll understand. No usual sock monkeys here, just lots and lots of thinking outside the box, I just love doing these searches. :)

What's With the Cupcakes?

No, not those cupcakes! Real, edible cupcakes.

Have you noticed the latest obsession with cupcakes? The simple cupcake that took 1 minute to decorate is gone and has been replaced by an elaborate work of art that will take you at least 15 minutes. So, if you need 30 cupcakes for your child's school or party, make plans to begin two days before they are needed. Also available are "cupcake stands" that will help you present them in all their glory and some that will help you create a masterpiece. However, if a masterpiece is your intended goal, I might suggest beginning a week ahead.

However, if these little wonders don't turn out as magnificently as you pictured them to be, all is not lost. Almost every town now has a bakery that for the price of your entire month's grocery budget will make them for you!

Here is the Wilton website that offers ideas, supplies, and recipes.  http://www.wilton.com/ideas/browse.cfm?cat=Cupcakes

Enjoy yourself, pour a cup of coffee and have a cupcake.

Cluck Cluck Bawk!

I am not getting too deep today. 

A friend sent me this link once and I found it amusing and fun so I thought I'd give your mind a break and let you just play with the chicken today.

Let's make it a productive, creative, happy day filled with smiles and good moments.
