A Purpose....

I started my cupcake wrapper business as a way to help our family out financially while being able to stay home with my little boy.  It's also something I really enjoy doing, so you could say it's one of my many hobbies. :)

Being a mom changes you. It changes the way you think, feel, and see things.  Everything has a new, deeper meaning and you understand things you didn't before...I'm sure all you moms out there know what I'm talking about. :) 

The other day I realized how blessed we are to be able to feed our little boy whenever he is hungry.  We pray at dinner every night, thanking our Heavenly Father for the food, and I recently realized how big a deal that really is! There are a lot of little kids out there that have empty bellies and don't have a way to fill them.  It just broke my heart to think what it would be like for my son to be hungry--really hungry.  It made me think of all those children out there who feel that way every day...so I decided to join the fight to end childhood hunger in America.  I'm doing this through my cupcake wrapper business.

I will donate a portion of my profits to help end childhood hunger in America through the Share Our Strength Organization. Our objective is to make sure that every child in America gets the nutritious food he or she needs to learn, grow and thrive. To learn more about Share Our Strength or to make a donation, please visit these links:

I know that every little bit helps, and I know that we can make a difference!

New Tall Printable Wrappers!

I have been working on designing a taller printable wrapper so that you'll have more freedom to cut the tops of the wrappers with decorative edged scissors...and here they are! My original printable wraps were much shorter, designed for a straight cut top. These NEW ones have much more height so you have a lot more room to cut them down with fancy scallops, zigzags, etc.  I'm so excited about them! I have a bunch of decorative scissors from ProvoCraft, but my favorite is the scalloped set.  That's what I used for these wrappers.

This last one almost didn't make it on this post---I was walking into the living room where I had my backdrop set up, and I forgot about the computer power cord I had been stepping over on trips between the kitchen and living room.  I tripped a big one and the cupcake almost met it's demise! I don't know how I managed to catch it!

All of the papers I used on these wrappers are digital papers that I designed! I'm now selling digital paper packs in my Etsy Shop and I'll be working on ones that I will post here as freebies! :) And...of course....here is a freebie sample of my NEW tall cupcake wrappers! I just love these--I hope you do, too!

Free Cupcake Wrapper Printable REVISED!

I just wanted to let everyone know that the Free Printable Cupcake Wrapper I posted a few days ago is UPDATED! I realized I uploaded the wrong size--so if you downloaded it and it was too small, I'm sorry! I hope I didn't cause too much trouble! If you go back and download it again, it will be the correct size for standard sized cupcakes. Thanks for being patient with me while I learn MediaFire. :) Have a great weekend!

Everyone loves freebies! **REVISED**

I thought that it would be fun to do a free printable--so here ya go! **This is an UPDATED VERSION--I realized that I uploaded the wrong size the first time--so if you downloaded it before, you'll need to download this NEW version for the correct cupcake wrapper size.  Sorry! I hope that didn't mess anyone up too much. :) Thanks for being patient with me while I learn this new MediaFire thing! :)

These are a simple green and red polka dot Christmas wrapper--I'd like to start doing more free printables--I was thinking about doing Christmas gift tags, too! Let me know if anyone has any problems downloading the file--this is my first time trying this...so...you know how it goes. :) If you have any ideas of what kinds of printables you'd like to see, please leave me a comment! Enjoy!
