Hello friends,
I threw my friend Angie a pseudo-surprise birthday party over the weekend with the help of a few friends. I was able to throw together some super cute and cheap decorations, i.e. cupcake streamers. :)
Step 1: Gather up mini cupcake baking cups. I got these from Wal-Mart, 350 for $3.50.
Step 2: Quickly flatten each cup by pulling opposite sides apart.
Step 3: Run the cups through your sewing machine end to end.
Step 4: Hang. :)
Step 5: Repeat with multiple colors.
Step 6: Repeat again using butterflies or other objects that you punched out of patterned paper (tip: use double-sided paper).
How 'bout I throw in a little somepin' extra? Dave and I were on our way to Chipotle for lunch today and reminisced over our love of Freebirds by coming up with a little list. That's right. :)
Twenty Reasons Why Freebirds Is Better Than Chipotle
1. multiple burrito size options
2. multiple tortilla flavors
3. cool foil art
4. the little warmer they put your burrito in while you order the next one
5. they label your burritos with your name
6. the music stand they use to tell you how long the wait is
6. lime juice
7. meat that isn't SO spicy
8. fresh tomatoes that isn't pico
9. cilantro
10. Spanish rice beats cilantro rice
11. eccentric employees
12. they always ask if this is your first time at Freebirds and walk you through the ordering process
13. the same person takes your entire order when you're the sucker who goes in for the whole family
14. refried beans, baby!
15. superior foil swaddling
16. Texas-based company
17. Mountain Dew
18. drive-thru window
19. sales tax is included in the listed price
20. free sour cream or guac if you pass on the beans (but really, it's totally worth the $0.75)
Thank you, and good night!
