A day for play

 

I felt as if I had a brand-new box of crayons in my hands.  I’d spied these little cups being utilized as cupcake liners, but failed to recognize them for what they were.  In abundance, and dancing at every birthday party or social event of my childhood, they held  the peanuts and party mints moms felt required to dole upon us.  But, as such is with life, they were lost amongst the shuffle and the strut of a life moving forward.

And yet it wasn’t all that long ago I sat dazed, in a stupor, trying to figure out just where on earth bakers were locating those cute little baking papers?  Seriously, I had not put 2 + 2 together until just yesterday.  When, Voila! at the local craft store, and standing in the party aisle, this little item would awaken me from my denseness.

These papers were not new, but simply being redefined and utilized as baking papers for cupcakes.

This clarity almost bowled me over, but my fall was thwarted by that stack of unwrapped inventory sitting at the base of my feet awaiting the afternoon stock person.

Will I use these again? 

You bet I will!  They provide a great baking environment for mini-cupcakes and are a pretty bonus to boot!  Just steer clear of the plastic coated ones though; I’d like to see you back around these parts in the future.  We need to share our priceless moments together, because I am almost positive this forest echoes when the tree falls.

;)
