Yummy Strawberries and Cupcakes

Happy Monday!  I hope that all of you had a nice weekend.  My family and I sure had a wonderful and fun one together.  We went on a mini vacation on Friday to San Diego and came home late last night.  All of our days were filled from morning to about 10 pm.  On Sunday night when we left SD, we were a bit sad since our vacation was over, but we were happy to be able to sleep in our own beds since we were all very tired.  One of the highlights of our vacation was going to the strawberry fields where we got to pick strawberries.  We have been to SD many times, but have never been to the strawberry fields.

The strawberries that we picked were delicious.  We can't wait to pick some more the next time we are in SD.  :)  Okay, onto some thing crafty.  I have been taking quilling classes at a local scrapbook store for about a year now, but it was just recently that I started quilling on my own.  Last month when one of my friends from work retired I quilled this cupcake for her.  (She saw a picture of the ones that I initially made at a class and loved them so I thought it would be nice to surprise her with one as part of her gift.)

Awhile back I made this cupcake for a friend as part of her b-day gift.  This one actually made it all the across the ocean.

Quilling I have found is very relaxing.  I look forward to spending some more time soon to put into practice some more of the quilling techniques that I have learned.  Thanks for stopping by!
