Shabby Apple

So Shabby Apple contacted me a few days ago asking me to be a sponsor for them on my blog! I’ll be honest,  I’ve seen a lot of shabby apple buttons in the world of craft blogs out there, but never  really checked there website out.

Ok lets just say i have been missing out big time! They have the most gorgeous dresses, skirts and accessories I’ve ever seen!! They also carry kids clothes,swimwear and even clothes for fitness!  They pretty much have a variety of everything I Love it!

A couple kids favorites!

Love this one! 

The red flower on this one give it the PERFECT touch!

I also loved that on there website they have a guide to help you find your body type as well as a fit guide - because someone like me is most likely going to buy something in the wrong size or style! So this option was definitely a big plus in my book!  Shopping on Shabby Apple honestly can’t get any easier!

SO enough with the chitter chatter here are some dresses that really caught my eye! I can't wait to make my first order!

This one has amazing colors! 

 Gorgeous!

This color is so nice for fall and winter!

And what's a dress or outfit without accessories?

It was hard just finding a few pictures!

Love! 

Floral scarf

Beautiful!

Amazing Cinnamon Roll Cake!

A few days ago I was online and found the recipe for  Cinnamon roll cake on this website and  when I saw It I knew instantly that I had to make it! Now If you know me i don't have a good record of cooking or baking…just ask my husband! I've burned ALOT when it comes to cooking/baking. But that being said I knew I had to take the chance!

And I'm so glad I did because I had a stroke of good luck, and this cinnamon roll cake turned out DELICIOUS!  (and tasted just like a cinnamon roll)

So Here’s the recipe – I actually ended up making only half a recipe which I’m glad I did because there was plenty!

(Below is the full recipe.)

Cake:

3 c. flour

1/4 tsp.salt

1 c. sugar

4 tsp. baking powder

1 1/2 c. milk

2 eggs

2 tsp. vanilla

1/2 c. butter, melted

Mix everything together except the melted butter, mix this in last. 

Then pour into a greased 9x13 pan. (I only made half this recipe so I put mine into a smaller pan)

 Topping:

1 c. butter, softened

1 c. brown sugar

2 Tbsp. flour

1 Tbsp. cinnamon

For the topping mix all the ingredients together until smooth

 and then place it evenly on top of the batter 

and then swirl with a knife Then bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes. 

Glaze:

2 c. powdered sugar

5 Tbsp. milk

1 tsp. vanilla

Combine the ingredients for the glaze and drizzle over the cake while warm.

If you enjoy it as much as i did make sure to pass the recipe on!

The Ruffled Collared Cape

About a week ago I was chosen to test a pattern for Jenny at  http://seaminglysmitten.blogspot.com/   for a child's ruffled collared cape.

I’ve never tested a pattern before so I was over the moon excited to give it a try! The pattern was  simple to make,the instructions clear as a whistle, it didn’t take very long and look how it  turned out - Amazing!! 

Here are some pictures of the finished product!

 How cute is that?!

Once again If you haven't tried any of Jenny’s patterns at seamingly smitten I Highly recommend you do!!
