Cupcake Pops

I've seen these all over the place and I think they're just too cute. They would be fun for a little baby shower I'm planning this week...:) Thanks to Bakerella

And look at all the fun variations you can do!!!

I think these have got to be my favorite. I just want to bite their cute little bodies!

Look at these christmas ones! LOVE IT!

A possible solution to my earring problem

I love earrings, and I have lots of them. (Thanks mom!) However right now they are all clumped together in 3 small tins all tangled and mixed up. It takes me 5 minutes just to find a pair. This could possibly solve my problems. I'll have to change a few things, but I think it could work.

Bath salts

I wonder if these would really turn out good...? I would especially love if I could find these sweet glass containers to put them in!

Scented Bath Salts

What You Need

2 cups Epsom salts

1 cup baking soda

Large bowl

Lavender-scented oil

2-x-4-inch scrap of white cotton fabric

Food coloring

Cookie sheet

Apothecary jar

Ribbon

Baby spoon

How to Make It

1. In a large bowl mix 2 cups Epsom salts and 1 cup baking soda. Dab a few drops of lavender-scented oil onto a 2-x-4-inch scrap of white cotton fabric and stir through mixture. Repeat with drops of food coloring. Continue mixing scented oil and food coloring until desired scent and color is achieved. If desired, make two colors of salts to layer in a purchased apothecary jar (available in thrift shops).
2. Spread salts mixture onto a cookie sheet for several hours, stirring several times. Wash and dry the jar. Spoon salts mixture into jar.
3. Tie a baby spoon onto jar with ribbon.
