Cupcake Wrappers and Unwanted Hosueguests!!

Hi crafty people! 

I hope you all had a better day than I had! :)  I will start with my project.  My  mom had a tea party to go to today, and needed to bring a treat.  She decided on mini cupcakes, so I offered to make them for her, along with cupcake wrappers.   I just purchased a few svgcuts files, and one was a few cupcake wrappers with a patio theme.  So I decided to make sunflowers and picket fences.  Here are my wrappers:

 I had to cut the picket fence at 1.95" and the sunflower at 2.25".  They were pretty small, but they had to be to fit the mini cupcakes.  YUM!!

I kept thinking this morning, that I wanted to make cute little bee toppers for the cupcakes, but I didn't get aorund to doing it.  Little did I know that my evil genie must have been listening to grant my wish.  (lol)

Around 3pm today, I noticed a weird 'buzzing' noise.  I muted the TV, turned off the ceiling fan, and listened closely.  It was coming from the arcadia door.  I looked over at the dog, and she was acting strange, \just staring at the door, not sitting still, and tit seemed like she was trying to spit something out of her mouth.  When I walked over to it, I noticed what looked like bees.  Now, keep in mind that I can not see well at all.  There were about five that I could see....I thought they HAD to be flies... and there can't really e five of them...it is just probably my double vision acting up. I went to get the fly swatter, and the buzzing grew louder.  I tried hitting them with the swatter, and I missed of course (bad vision.) and man did that piss them off!!! 
So...long story short... I had my mom come over from her party, and we have been fighting bees ever since.  It is now around 10:15pm, and they are still trickling in.  It turns out, they were swarming out behind my house.  I don't know how they are coming in, through some crack in the roof perhaps...but man are they coming in!!  Around 4 or 5 pm, we were killing about 30 every two minutes.  It was hard to keep up!!   (at 4pn out back, they were swarming, not too terrible that you couldn't get away...but a lot.  and within 45 minutes...we had this: 

The bee exterminator showed around 5:30pm, and sprayed their cluster they had accumulated. They dropped in huge clumps to the ground!!!

The exterminator said that the remaining bees would get into that mess on the ground, and get into the poison too.  I think he lied.  LOL.  No, they have slowed way down...but I am still killing about two every five minutes.  Somehow, they are coming in through my kitchen.  That pile of dead bees the picture is just like the piles we have accumulated in the house.  The good thing is they are traveling to the arcadia doors and lights... so it is a little easier to track them down.  But JEEZ!!  I am not going to be able to sleep tonight!!  


I don't think I will ever cut out a bee from the cricut again. LOL.  If I never see another bee in my life, that is just FINE with me!!! Haha.


Hope you like my cupcake wrappers though!! I had a blast making them!! That was the good part of my day.  Haha.
