Several years ago I gave up on keeping a traditional journal and began collecting ideas, jotting down my thoughts, recording things that inspired or moved me; in no particular order and without the pressure of a daily entry. I entitled my unique journal TIDBITS; Thoughts, Ideas, & Dreams Beth Intends To Save. In searching my brain for a clever title for this blog I kept coming back to TIDBITS, but save just didn't quite fit, it sounded selfish. Finally I settled on changing save to share since that's what I'm basically doing, sharing myself with all of you. Enjoy!

Happy Mother's Day

I've had a great weekend. Saturday morning Craig and I went to kickboxing and then went to the market to get some plants for my little garden.
Craig planted everything while I read a book!

Last night Craig, Elizabeth and I went to see the movie Date Night. It was really funny and it was nice seeing it together as a family.

Then, this morning Elizabeth gave me the gift she got for me. A float for the pool and a beach bag. She was with me earlier in the week when I saw the float and road it around in the buggy before finally deciding I really didn't need it. It was a nice surprise to open the beach bag and find a gift I truly wanted and will use. Thanks!

Grimes Cupcakes

I love to decorate cupcakes and this is one I did for the wedding rehearsal dinner for my friend Glenette's son the first weekend in April.
I embossed the black background with a swirly design and then topped it with a cream disk embossed with the letter 'G' for Grimes.
They were served on a white plate with a huge long-stemmed strawberry, a drizzle of dark chocolate syrup and a dollop of whip cream. Very elegant!
