byebye shirley cupcakes

i have a new sewing buddy, shirley.  i met her this summer.  she's a total sweetheart and is so fun!  anyway, shirley just moved to oregon this past wednesday to be a dentist in this beautiful coastal town. many many visits to oregon will be had, i'm sure.  trust that LOTS of sewing will take place there.  plus she's in the same state (but not all that close) to one of my fav cities ever: portland... hello knit'n kitten (best thrift fabric store EVER)!!!

in honor of her departure, i made red velvet cupcakes... my fav cupcakes... but with green dye.  and 100% recycled cupcake wrappers...  because where she's now living in oregon is VERY woodsy.

 it's no surprise that my frosting job sucked.  cream cheese frosting of course!

see... green.  i wasn't kidding.  so yum!  too bad she's not here to enjoy them.  i'll have to help her out and eat her share for her hehehheheh
