Ugh. I can’t believe it! I twisted my knee in dance class and now I have to sit out my dance classes for the next week. I also have to wear a brace around my knee to make sure it doesn’t get hurt again and use crutches for the next two days. That’s kind of cool though–a really cute 7th grader asked if he could carry my backpack for me! Sierra

What a sweet way to start your week! An adorable puppy and new puzzles for Cupcakes! Check them out on the Fun and Games pages.

What is a PAKNAK?

PakNaks are fun soft rubbery 3-D decorations for kids (and adults too!) to personalize all of their stuff. Backpacks, lunch bags, headbands, computer bags, household items, the list is only limited by your imagination.

PakNaks stick on with a super strong adhesive that sticks to all of the stuff in a kid’s life. We LOVE that PakNaks has a CUPCAKE to stick on your stuff!!

The BEST PART? You can change your look by simply pulling off one design and sticking on a new one to create a whole new style. Click HERE to see how to PakNak.

THREE Cupcakes will win FOUR PakNak rip and sticks to decorate their backpack, lunchbox, room…whatever they want!

What to do? Go and check them out at www.paknak.com  and find the four PakNaks you would like to have when you win…come back here…and leave a comment about PakNaks—easy peazy, cool and breezy. Winners will be announced 11/19/08!

 I’m so excited! The Cupcakes are coming over to my house tonight for a dinner that I have prepared for them! I will be serving fish tacos, chips and salsa, refried beans, and rice. For dessert, we will all make homemade ice cream. I love to cook and I think I am getting better with each meal I hope the girls think this, too! Valentina

With the holidays approaching, EVERYONE is looking to make some extra cash to help buy gifts for family and friends.

Do you do extra chores? Walking the dog? Babysitting? Helping in the kitchen?Washing Dishes?                                                                                       The Cupcakes Club will try to help with some GREAT giveaways for you or for friends during the holidays—but, we know it’s fun to earn your own money to buy or make your own presents. Share your tips!

 Tomorrow is an early release day at our school, so The Cupcakes have all decided to go to our “old” elementary school, Washington, to see the teachers and some of the kids that we know. There are a few teachers that we always had SO much fun with (not ALL middle school teachers are fun) and we want to see them. I know it sounds stupid…but, I’m actually  a little nervous! Summer

So, how fabulous would it be if you had a craving for cupcakes and saw this bright, shiny, Airstream trailer cruise up your street?? Well, if you live in Austin, Texas you just might because that’s where “Hey Cupcake” is located and sells cupcakes to hundreds each day…yummy!

Sneakers, tennis shoes; whatever you call them-we all love them and have a pair or two in our closets. In so many great styles and colors it’s hard to choose! Wear them with jeans, with skirts, or flowy dresses for a cute, hip look.

In America, we honor all veterans on this day, and rightly so, because of the willingness of patriots in every generation to answer their country’s call to protect our freedom. Thank a soldier today!
