The Little Things

Have you ever noticed that it is the little things that make you happy?  This evening I took a break from lesson plans and paper grading to make cupcakes for my friend’s birthday.  We’ve been friends at school for a long time and I know she’ll be very happy with a cupcake surprise to celebrate her special day.

I truly believe that giving gives one just as much pleasure as receiving.  Does anyone else feel that way?

I think my friend will really like the leaf sprinkles that jazz up these cupcakes.

I love my Martha Stewart cupcake carrier that I purchased at Kmart years ago.  It really is quite large, but it looks small beside this gift bag.

Little things like doing something thoughtful for a friend make a person feel so good!

    So cute Paula. And, yes, when you give, it is return to you at least 10 times over.

    Of course she will love them! And I agree--it's so much fun to give things like this! I LOVE to do little things for my friends--it makes me feel good to show that I think they're special. A win-win!

    I know I would love them so I am certain she would...who wouldn't? I love giving also and yes, it makes you get that great feeling inside.

    I am going to have to find that same cupcake tote. I love all Martha's stuff.

    I know I have missed your post but do understand. I am still trying to catch back up from where I left off. Have a great weekend!
