I've already gotten into the swing of Scrappin some Honeymoon pages! I know I have to do it while the holiday vibe is still with me, before work saps out all the happiness and wonderful memories {giggles} no not really... well, maybe a little bit. 
I started out with one of my fave pics from our Honeymoon, one I took on my phone and texted to Felicity. I didn't want to just journal "here we are at the Statue of Liberty" cos that's kinda obvious so I wrote how excited I was to come home and find this pic in a frame on our dining table! Felicity had printed it, framed it and put it on the table with a note to say there was fresh bread and milk to help with the jetlag.. AND had blown up red, black and white balloons and filled our lounge room with them! It was so awesome to come home and still feel like we were super special! Thank you so much Felicity!! I have been hoarding this apple paper for about 3 years waiting for the perfect page.. there is no more perfect place to use it than for a page on the "Big Apple"! The glitter button was a RAK from Yvette during her recent "glitter everything in sight" phase- thank you {wink!}

Have you heard of Magnolia Bakery? They are the most famous Cupcake bakery in NY, and I was pleased to get a chance to indulge in a 
Banana Cupcake with Chocolate Caramel Buttercream frosting. It was delicious! I didn't see any celebrities there though {sigh!} In fact, the only "celebrity" (I use that lightly) we saw on the whole trip was one of the guys off the Thredbo ad, he's now on a Maccas ad, and he was sitting across from us on the plane back to Australia! Bummer! We did see Jerry Springer and Steve Martin on the big screen at our baseball game, does that count? When they put Jerry on the big screen, our whole section started chanting "Jerry! Jerry!" All we needed was a bitch fight between a midgit and a trailer park ho with no front teeth, and we would have really felt like we were on the set of the show! LOL! Back to the page... isn't the cupcake sticker the cutest? It's Martha Stewart, but I did accent it with some of my long-hoarded stash like the flower lace cardstock, the journal spot and the tab sticker! Oh I love to use up my stash! Well, I have to anyway seeing as I bought like 40 papers in the US! How can you turn them down when some were 65c??!

I'm sure your cupcakes would give them a run for their money too! Doesn't their icing look pretty. There's a cupcake shop in canberra that I'd like to check out. Not sure if we'll get there tomorrow when I collect Mum. ONLY buttercream tho - blah! I just made peanut butter cupcakes to take half to work for the fundraiser tomorrow. Dave and Tassy don't like them! Weirdos! I love them!

That's the Russian version of the Autobahn.
I'll have to send you pics of the cupcakery in Melbourne - it was AMAZING!!! They also had giant cupcake cakes (like the cake tin Alicia gave you) and were decorated beautifully. On the subject of cupcakes, my brothers girlfriend made "Cookie monster cookie cupcakes" last night, they were gorgeous!! Will send you a pic of them too!!! PS: LOVING reading your blog about your honeymoon!! Glad you had a fantastic time! Amy xoxox
