Fizzying up garage sales

Happy Labor Day weekend for all of you that have it off.  Did you hit the sales? Grill everyday? or just spend all 3 days vegging?  What ever you did I hope you enjoyed it.

I hit a few sales, spruced up the yard and vegged :) One thing I saw a lot of was garage sale signs. It was a sunny weekend to have them. I recently helped a friend with her garage sale.  Hers was HUGE. She's moving to Montana and wanted to sell anything she didn't really need.  Well of course we had to fizzy it up a little.  So I made cupcakes! For us and any of our friends who stopped by and maybe for her dog who  tried to help herself to one when we turned our backs :)

I made 2 different kinds.

I had to make the crab cupcakes because when one is moving from one state to another, one can get a little crabby :)

The other cupcakes I made were Pink Lemonade because it's summer and summer is lemonade. Look at all those great items for sale.

May your Labor Day be full of Leisure :)

  3. Thanks for all your help and enthusiasm! Yard sale went pretty well and post- yard sale craigslisting was pretty good, too. ALL of it made better with cupcakes, because the only thing not made better by cupcakes is the stomach flu, right?
