me and the kiddos decorated our Christmas tree this morning, now the house smells like Christmas!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used my tablet to snap a few photos to share..although the kiddos were not very cooperative!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's what happened when I asked them to stay still:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then, here is what happened when I asked them to hug each other;</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a mini wrestling match occurred..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Although Sophie did manage to sneak in a choke hold hug while she smiled at the camera!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Poor Joshie wanted out of that hug so badly!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
hahaha...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And here are a few more of our decorating time together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We used all shatter proof ornaments this year so that they could be involved in the decorating without Mommy having a heart attack,making less mess and to save our precious glass ornaments!</div>

I hope everyone has a love filled beautiful day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I believe the key to life is thankfulness and appreciation of everything the Lord has made and shared with us, let's remember to do that on more than just one day a year and we shall all smile a lot more!!</div>

Hello Everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sorry to have dropped off the radar for a bit but we finally moved to Texas!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We still can't believe it ourselves and are still slowly settling in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
More posts will be coming soon, now it's time to prepare for a lovely Thanksgiving!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
God bless!</div>

When I create my secret recipe fake cookies, it's a lot like the real deal, real cookie cutters are used and each cookie is lovingly handmade one at a time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't have very many Thanksgiving themed cookie cutters and I didn't like many that I found while shopping about, so what's a girl to do? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then came across <a href="http://www.sweetsugarbelle.com/2012/09/20-creative-ways-to-use-a-pumpkin-cookie-cutter/" target="_blank">Sweet Sugar Belle</a> via Pinterest</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This girl is <i>amazing</i>! Following that link you can see how many uses she shows for a simple pumpkin cookie cutter! She inspired me to pull out my cutters and try looking at them in a different creative light. I then traced around their shapes onto paper and started brainstorming!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Using a cupcake cookie cutter set I had, a bunny head and my trademark large snowman, I came up with some pretty cool pilgrim shapes, if I do say so myself! :0)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EJMxGjQYQ3M/VDRVyJOVzUI/AAAAAAAACvA/Uo1PusjzbEc/s1600/20141002_131303.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EJMxGjQYQ3M/VDRVyJOVzUI/AAAAAAAACvA/Uo1PusjzbEc/s1600/20141002_131303.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am partial to the Indian part of Pilgrim and Indians for Thanksgiving, they are close to my heart.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Using a cupcake shape and a bunny head cutter I came up with two cool designs!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I kept on diggin in my stash and came up with a few more designs:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are done using a Halloween tombstone shaped cutter, another bunny head and a large gingerbread boy cutter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PKzBVKmu4LI/VDRVx1trDqI/AAAAAAAACu8/ICGKEnAJZeo/s1600/20141002_133216.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PKzBVKmu4LI/VDRVx1trDqI/AAAAAAAACu8/ICGKEnAJZeo/s1600/20141002_133216.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sophie helped me bake up a batch of these Thanksgiving faux cookies and I can't wait to start painting them! I will share photos of how they came out soon!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks for spending some time with me today and I hope your inspired to look at things in a different and creative way too!</div>

Trick or Treat!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm really loving these fake candies!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you have a friend or maybe a coworker that is always dipping into your stash, this would be a great way to prank them!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have certainly fooled my family and friends with my creations, and my poor kiddos think everything is fake!! heehee..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These have been on my "must create" list for quite some time and I finally got to make them this year! They look just like their real life cousins and look fabulous as bowl fillers and decor props, <i>plus </i> pesky critters have no interest in them whatsoever!</div>

When I saw these rats the idea for these cupcakes automatically popped into my mind.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some might find it a little gross but to me it's pretty hilarious!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For those that know me, I've had my moments of playing jokes on my loved ones and creating these cupcakes brought back funny memories for me..haha!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One time, I came up with the brilliant idea to fool my sister. You see, when it came to sweet bread she would just jump right into it with a <i>huuuge</i> bite, so really my plan was guaranteed to succeed!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(with odds like that how could I <i> not </i>go ahead with my plan, right?)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My plan was: to buy some pan de huevo, which is a Mexican sweet bread and inject it with green and black colored water so that it would look perfectly tasty on the outside but once bitten would look as if it was all disgusting and molded!!! <i>yuckkkk</i>...hahaha</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Omgosh, as I write this I can't help but reminisce and laugh out loud!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sure enough, my sister walks in and is all excited to see some delicious sweet bread, grabs the one perfectly positioned for her and takes a <i>huuuuuuuuge</i> bite!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She realizes that her bread is somehow all disgusting and moldy inside and starts <i>freaking out</i>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She spits all of her bread out, on the floor and starts trying to rid her mouth of any tiny morsel that is left and gagging herself while screaming that she's going to <i>die</i>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the meantime, I am totally laughing my butt off unable to control myself, I'm a total snorting and laughing mess and it's <u><b>awesome</b></u>!!! hahaha</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gosh I sure do treasure that memory, it went off so perfectly! It was a masterpiece. ;0)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I know you still love me Li, I love you too)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, back to the cupcakes! That's what I think about when I look at these creations and needless to say, I surely walk away with a broad smile upon my face!! haha</div>

Hi! Hope your having a great week so far!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I'm going to share my Ghost Creations! I had so much fun making these and they really bring smiles to everyone's faces!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last year I made some single ghost cupcakes, and made a few more this year sitting in fun colored frosting borders.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-F2p6HuDj3ws/VDRSX1t7TMI/AAAAAAAACuA/ifYm7R-Tco0/s1600/DSC03790.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-F2p6HuDj3ws/VDRSX1t7TMI/AAAAAAAACuA/ifYm7R-Tco0/s1600/DSC03790.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dteTiBbRxm0/VDRShnwlPiI/AAAAAAAACuI/bn9Ge6As4DQ/s1600/il_fullxfull.654103953_k310.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dteTiBbRxm0/VDRShnwlPiI/AAAAAAAACuI/bn9Ge6As4DQ/s1600/il_fullxfull.654103953_k310.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I had a thought, "what about a whole family of ghosts? Trios of ghosts? Maybe a cute couple?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Therefore these cute concoctions were born!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love how each cupcake is it's own unique piece of art, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and every little ghost seems to have his very own personality too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How can you not smile?? :0)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I might just have to make some <i>real </i>counterparts to these, marshmallow ghosts might just be completely yummy, don't you think?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you enjoyed our ghostly buddies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks for spending time with me today!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
These would be pretty interesting Halloween food if made into real cupcakes!</div>

I love being a goofball...because it means I can derive pleasure from the goofiest things!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which of course makes life more enjoyable, haha ;0)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
99.9% of my items are one of a kind because I hand make most of the embellishments used on them, so I sit and make a batch of what inspires me and I just don't know if I will remake any. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So if you see something you like, grab it before it's gone! :0)</div>

I just created some new witch themed fake cupcakes and they really crack me up!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It all started out with the witch crash legs and I am so loving the way they came out!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted the frosting to look like the underside of a fancy dress, </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then this idea popped into my mind!..How about a melting witch?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How lucky are they to be melting into delicious frosting? hehe</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I <i>LOVE </i>these so much! Every time I look at them I can't help but to start singing,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"ding dong the witch is dead..mean old witch...la la la"</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now that you have that song in your head too, here is another smile maker to enjoy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This cupcake <i>really </i>makes me laugh because if you look closely the cupcake liner looks like it is her legs, and makes her completely adorable!</div>

I'm working on an awesome project, I'ms o excited because I have been wanting to make one for quite some time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Recently a lovely customer asked if I could make her a Gingerbread house, and I of course said, "yes!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So in preparation of dressing up the little house I will be making lots of candies and cookies and such to go on the house..here is a sneak peek at some cookies. I was so pleased with how they came out that I wanted to share them with you all. :0)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hi Everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I recently decided that I want to try transitioning my shop from Etsy, so I'm trying out a place called Indiemade.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So far I am loving Indiemade because I have been able to really personalize my shop, on Etsy you are given the same look as everyone else the only difference being your banner.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a screenshot of what my Etsy store looks like:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_3HKnEmlLTc/VAor07nC63I/AAAAAAAACow/IAUXwkgEFnc/s1600/etsy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_3HKnEmlLTc/VAor07nC63I/AAAAAAAACow/IAUXwkgEFnc/s1600/etsy.jpg" height="212" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ImagineOutLoud" target="_blank">Etsy Storefront</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and how my Shop looks like on Indiemade</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-edObYM_pr4g/VAosG7IsIPI/AAAAAAAACo4/3smQOsHDdP0/s1600/imagine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-edObYM_pr4g/VAosG7IsIPI/AAAAAAAACo4/3smQOsHDdP0/s1600/imagine.jpg" height="192" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://imagineoutloud.indiemade.com/" target="_blank">http://imagineoutloud.indiemade.com/</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is still a work in progress but I am really loving the way it's taking shape!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you have a moment please drop by and take a look and let me know what you think!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks so much for dropping by!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a joyous weekend!</div>

I can't believe how fast my sweet little baby girl is growing up!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I say to her, "your so big now baby girl!" to which she replies, "I'm not baby, I'm a big girl!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sniff..sniff...hehe</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was cleaning up my desktop and came across some older photos of her, they were taken last year, I'm thinking maybe around September or October. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Her hair had to be cut short at that time so that it could grow out more evenly. My baby sister is a hair stylist, so she is in charge of Sophie's hair ;0)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember that she was so excited to be in the pictures, she loves hamming it up for the camera!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They have one cabinet in the kitchen that is totally their's..they <i>usually </i>just fill it with their toys, but now they've gotten a little crazy and stuff themselves in there!</div>

I've been playing around with a new back drop for my shop photos.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Clouds have sort of become a little theme for my shop..in my head it works out like this:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Imagine Out Loud" says to me "head in the clouds"...I know, I guess I have weird connections upstairs, hahaha!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyhow, when you order from my humble shop your package comes wrapped in cloud paper:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TnMzQDkzwzI/U8BTsDTRyAI/AAAAAAAACds/SLuT7PI-Zrs/s1600/DSC00364.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TnMzQDkzwzI/U8BTsDTRyAI/AAAAAAAACds/SLuT7PI-Zrs/s1600/DSC00364.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My banner also has a little cloud action going on, on the sides:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_LilyfSgl-Q/U8BTsP65cpI/AAAAAAAACdw/aSJwncRYYp4/s1600/banner3+-+Copy+%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_LilyfSgl-Q/U8BTsP65cpI/AAAAAAAACdw/aSJwncRYYp4/s1600/banner3+-+Copy+%25282%2529.jpg" height="42" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So!..I thought it's be cute to incorporate the clouds into my product photos also!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here are a few photos for you to look at, please let me know what you think of them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really appreciate the feedback! :0)</div>

We had some family visit from out of the country, so </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we had a chance to act like tourists a little. :0)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was <i><b>soooo</b></i> hot!! It really felt like my shoes were going to just melt right onto my feet!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My brother in law took this lovely photo of the bridge at Hoover Dam.</div>

Here is another post about my sweet little helper Sophia.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She really love getting in on the action and helping out in any way she can.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When it's time to take packages to the post office she insists </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on doing it herself because she is a big girl and can help!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think she wanted to inspect the address here, haha</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just had to share my sweet girl with you, I can't believe how </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
big my baby has gotten already!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DJyEknqQYOM/U6iIlqXj0xI/AAAAAAAACZE/kq4b2R93Z8M/s1600/20140622_212453.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DJyEknqQYOM/U6iIlqXj0xI/AAAAAAAACZE/kq4b2R93Z8M/s1600/20140622_212453.jpg" height="320" width="180" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The fact that her dress matches my packaging was a total coincidence, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I shall call it a "happy accident," as Bob Ross used to say! :0)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks for spending some time with us!</div>
