We're Declaring July Cupcake Month! AND We're Throwing a Party!!

Now, I know that you know that we couldn't be done with cupcakes, right?!  I mean, cupcake withdrawal is a nasty, nasty thing!  And who doesn't love cupcakes? 
 
A couple weeks ago, Tracy contacted me and asked if I would be interested in co-hosting a month.long.party.all.about.cupcakes.  WOO HOO!!  Could there be a more perfect party?!  I am SO in!  After all, I have been gushing about cupcakes for six weeks straight during Taste This Tuesday!!  Remember this?
 

 
You might already know me, but for any new folks stopping by for the party... Hi!  My name is Keri and I blog here at pressed down, shaken together.  I share a recipe every Tuesday, a fun craft & tutorial on Friday and try to squeeze in a photo only post on Saturdays!  I have two boys (The Bugs) and I've been married to The Saint for eleven years and counting...

Enough about me, there are the other two lovely ladies joining in the celebration!

I mentioned Tracy before, but she is the mastermind behind this party and she blogs over at Screaming Sardine!  She hosts a weekly link party (hello, traffic!) and shares lots of projects, giveaways, stuff on sale...the perfect mix of my favorite things!  She's also a Scentsy consultant so I'm pretty sure her house always smells delicious ;)  Look at this cute kettle makeover...she painted it with bubble wrap!

I also want to welcome Lilli!  Her blog is {amazing} and she also has an adorable Etsy shop stocked full of sweet baby gifts like these fun diaper cupcakes!  She also makes the cutest onesies, burp clothes...basically all things baby!

Since we all love cupcakes so much, we are throwing a month long all-about-cupcakes party and this is your personal invitation to join us!


Need some ideas?  Link up old and new posts featuring:

• Mouthwatering cupcake recipes
• Cute cupcake clothing, aprons, bags...
• Creative ways to serve, display or feature cupcakes
• Tips and tricks about baking, frosting, serving, storing cupcakes
• Cards or layouts featuring cupcakes
• You can link up anything related to cupcakes - edible or not!
• If you have a giveaway that is cupcake related, link it up!

Tracy, Lilli and I will be featuring your links/projects/recipes/etc. throughout the month. And the best part - well, besides the cupcakes, obviously ;) - is that when you link up to at one blog, your entry will show on all three of our blogs.  That is three link parties for the price of one!  But wait, there's more!  You can link up as many cupcake related posts as you want - so get baking, sewing, creating and crafting all month long!  


{And pretty please with frosting on top, play by the rules and only link up cupcake related posts!  Let's not rain on the cupcake parade!}  It would also be really nice if you would follow our blogs - besides, how else will you know if we feature your fantastic cupcake creation?!

Want to spread some cupcake party love? Tracy was awesome enough to create the button below, so we would love for you to grab it and post it - this party is too sweet to keep to ourselves!

Can't wait to see who the life of the party is!
