It's Time for the Ultimate Blog Party!

Do you know what today is?! 

Yes, it's Friday the 13th.

But, don't let that deter you from partying! (Besides I'm not superstitious) Come join me and thousands of bloggers for the Ultimate Blog Party!

I discovered the Ultimate Blog Party last year through several blogs I follow. Through the UBP, I found lots of new fun blogs and gained a number of new followers, so seriously check it out if you have not yet!

***

Welcome to my little corner of the Internet, Cup of Delight! My name is April and here, I write about things that delight me-mostly creative things such as crafts, DIY projects, home decor, and fashion. But, I also write about books, travel, food, and shopping and some other random things here and there.

I have way to many hobbies, love adventure and meeting new people. This is my precious little family and I love them to pieces:

My sweet, handsome, funny husband Jeff
and our little Claire, who is 7 weeks old today.

If you care to read more about me and why I started this blog, please visit my About Me page.

I am delighted to have you visit! The following are some of my favorite posts.

CRAFTS:
10 Things I Love About You Alternative Scrap"book"

The Ridiculous Dollhouse I Made for My Niece

Anthropologie Lace and Key Necklace Knock Off

I like to make college sports onesies for my friends' babies-here is my most difficult challenge to date:
Louisville Cardinals Onesie


I also like to make inexpensive holiday decorations that fit my taste, like my Vintage Spool Christmas tree.


NON CRAFT POSTS:
My Harry Potter Party

I LOVE adventure, so I try to make the most of travel experiences like the times I took a trapeze class, Held a Baby Panda Bear, and Crashed a Party Hosted by Jared Leto 

Strawberry Trifle My Way

I also love to read, mostly children's novels and I write reviews and rate them in cupcakes. Yes, cupcakes! I highly recommend my two favorite series 100 Cupboards and The Queen's Thief.

I love to wear costumes! Last year, I convinced my husband to dress up like "Red Light/Green Light"-yes, the children's game.

Hope you enjoyed your visit!

  3. Hi there. Wow you have a 7 week old, no wonder you have time to do all that you do. ;) I am stopping by and following from UBP12 and I need to come back to view your doll house. I have one sitting in the corner of my house in need of finishing.
    I am hosting a Wildtree giveaway on my blog this week.

  18. Hey there! Coming from the UBP :) So many fun things going on! I definitely understand being into so many different things. I'm the same way :) With a new baby in the house, you'll have all kinds of things to create! Congrats on the new baby girl, btw :) Oh, and I certainly understand why that Cardinals onesie was difficult for you...I'm a Big Blue Nation girl ;)

    Have a great week! Now following thru GFC and linky just in case something slips by :)
