You’ve Got Mail
I love the movie “You’ve Got Mail!” It is a cute love story and I cry at the end every time I watch it! It makes me happy to curl up on the couch with my favorite blanket and a cup of hot chocolate and just get lost in New York City with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.
I don’t sit and watch my computer waiting for it to say, “You’ve Got Mail” but I do watch the mailbox when I order supplies from my favorite stores. I get so excited I feel like it is Christmas. Did I mention I live in the middle of nowhere? It takes me almost all day to go to the city to get supplies. I love where I live so don’t get me wrong but it is nice to have something delivered to you mailbox. Did I mention my mailbox is almost 2 miles away from my house? Even the mailman doesn’t know where I live but he leaves me packages like these:
I ordered stuff from Simply Caked and Off the Beaten Path this week and it has already arrived! Do you want to see my loot? I am so EXCITED!!!!
Lets start with the big box first!
The anticipation is killing me! I know what I ordered but I am positively giddy right now!
Yes! Here it is! Oh how I want to play with all of you right now!
There is myĀ Eiffel Tower, golf flag and bag, rooster, tie, lightening bolt, grill, fishing rod, caterpillar, snail, turtle, and my little piggies! I like ordering from Off the Beaten Path because they are always professional and my packages arrive very fast. They also have a great selection of cutters and cookie stuff! It was the first place I ever ordered cutter from online. They are so NICE!!
Now for box number 2!
I also ordered from Simply Caked. Want to see what is inside? Me too!
Aren’t they pretty? Wait, lets get a better look.
I am a happy little baker right now! Grease proof cupcake liners! That is right ladies and gentlemen! I can bake cupcakes and muffins and my papers will not get all greasy and nasty! They have so many colors to chose from! It is times like this I wish I could buy the world a package of cupcake liners in every color! Seriously, there would be no more war because who can be unhappy when eating a cupcake in a pretty liner like these? Once you use them you will never buy them from the grocery store again!
Wait, there is more! Want to know one of my all time favorite things I have got in my mailbox? Ok, here it is!
An airbrush gun from Karen’s Cookies! It is officially called an Pegasus Professional Airbrush System! I can do so much with it and it saves me so much time and food coloring! I can’t wait to show you what this bad boy can do! I am going to add a post on that soon! I love ordering from Karen. Her and her husband Mike are so nice! It is like ordering from your neighbor! And she has a blog and decorating videos on her blog like this one! It has changed the way people everywhere fill their icing bags!
I hope you like mail as much as I do. It can really brighten my day and get my creativity flowing. Once I open the box I start dreaming of ways to use my new toys!

Happy Creating,
Thanks for sharing your goodies! I feel the same way, even though I know what’s coming I can’t wait to open it! Feels a little like Christmas. I’ve got an order coming in from Sur La Table and I can’t wait! I also can’t wait to see what you do with the airbrush. I have an airbrush, but it’s for my acrylics, I’ve been debating on buying a dedicated cookie “gun”.
I never though I would use one but I am so glad I bought it!! And with Karen’s discount now you can save 20 percent!! It’s a good deal!
Thanks for sharing Lisa. Its funny I looked at a Pegasus, but wondered about the quality. Excited to hear that you love it!
I heard about this from A friend of mine named Montreal Confections’. Here is her Flickr page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/montrealcookies/ and her blog http://www.montrealconfections.com/. When she showed me how easy it was to use and CLEAN I bought one that day!! Even my husband and daughter use it. They are better than me!! lol
Thanks so much, I may just have to get one Lisa. It’s always good to know that it is useful. Sometimes I have bought baking stuff and then never used it! I follow montrealconfections. Can’t wait for her tutorial when she hits 2K.
I KNOW!!! I want to make that dog!! lol
Melissa, if you are on the fence about buying one you might want to wait until I do some tutorials to see if you would use it. I know SEVERAL other decorators that got one when I got mine and they have made some beautiful things with it. Feel free to email me any questions you might have about it and I will be happy to answer.
well, um, I already got it :-), couldn’t pass up the 20% off. So I decided to get this instead of the sugar printer I was debating. BUT so can’t wait for your tutorials on it. Yeah! Thanks again Lisa for all the info. and I love the little cross on your bear’s foot. God Bless you.
Thanks so much for sharing! Love your blog too.
Awe… thanks Brenda! I hope you buy yourself something pretty today!
thanks so much for the coupons, lisa! i was just about to place an order to karens cookies today and now i have a coupon too:) and i think you have convinced me to buy the airbrush system. i have been on the fence about purchasing it, but my birthday is coming up at the end of march so i might hint to my husband that i would like it:) i cant wait to see some tutorials on how you use the airbrush!!! have a great weekend!
Sarah, I don’t want to push you into buying one but I really do like mine! I would be happy with it just for the pearl effect alone! I am gong to show how to use and how to clean it! It is super easy!! If you do get one you can use the 20 percent discount until March 25th! Let me know if you get one!
Your posts always make me smile, my friend. š
I can’t say enough about Karen’s Cookies. Super products, super service, SUPER FRIEND! š Yeah for the coupon.
I’m going to have to try simpled caked…..because I’ve been buying liners recently and it is becoming another habit with me. Uh…hmmm….on second thought, maybe I shouldn’t. lol When I make my grain free muffins…I like to put them in pretty liners just because it is some of the only “bread” I eat….so I think it should be special. But really, I don’t need lots of liners. I just want them. š
Love you girl!
I think you should have a pretty muffin! I think it would be special and “You Deserve IT!”
Love ya Pam!
I too love that feeling you get when the parcel arrives, no matter that you know what is in there (although I always manage to forget in that time between ordering and it arriving LOL). I love the new set of cookie cutters, they look fab, and I can’t wait to see what you get up to with the airbrush…I have one but really don’t use it to its full potential!
Haaaaaa… You tickle me. Hubby forgot to get my birthday present last month so when he came to me the day of my birthday and said, “Oh Honey, I’m so, so sorry I completely forgot about your birthday until today but I’ll get you something today, really!” I just said, “Don’t worry…. I knew you were busy and stressed so I took care of it for you, the mailman should be here with it any minute!” I think he was amazed at just how truly generous he was. It was so thoughtful of him to get me my very first KitchenAid Mixer, and he even remembered my favorite color is red! I can’t WAIT to see what he gets me for Easter! haaaaaa
I am so happy your beautiful husband got you EXACTLY what you wanted!! LOL! I love this D.J. Thanks for sharing!
thanks! I got my 29% off!
YEAH!!! I am SO HAPPY for you!!!
Wow…an airbrush. I can’t wait to see what you do with it! I’ll be watching…lol
I love the mail too! I’m not use to ordering all these fun things either b/c living in Canada the costs of shipping were crazy. Now living in the States, so fun!!!
Wow – I wish I’d found your blog 5 days ago! I ordered over $50 of stuff from Karen’s Cookies…with no discount š Bummer. Oh well, still glad to find you!
I am the same way…when I get my box from anywhere, I am like a giddy kid. I oooh and ahhh over my new “stuff”.
I can’t wait to see your post on airbrushing. I was just looking at that and wondering if it was something I could master.
Great post – and I’ll be following you now š
No wonder you’re excited, Lisa! The airbrush system looks especially amazing to have at your fingertips:) Woo hoo!
A “KitchenAid” mixer cookie cutter was delivered to me over the weekend which made me very happy too:)
Can we use the karens cookies code more than once? I ordered and now I want to order more. š
I will check with Karen and let you know;)
