A Little Halloween Fun…

I recently attended a really cool Halloween Party at a friends BARN! It was great, they had a bon fire, lots of food and even a football game on the big screen! She asked if we wanted to bring a treat for the kids that would be there to feel free… so naturally I got busy and searched for a cool treat to make… off to Pintrest!

Came across this pin for nutterbutter ghost cookies and then this one for witch hat cookies. Nutterbutter are kind of a weakness for my husband and I… so I thought it best not to bring a pack of them into the house… they might not have made it to the party!! Instead I opted for the witch hat cookies and let me tell you that they could not have been easier and went over great at the party… I didn’t bring a single one home!

Start out with a pack of fudge striped cookies, flip them over so that the fudge back is showing. Next place a small amount of store bought orange frosting. I got a tube of it in the cake decorating area of my favorite Publix! Then take unwrapped kisses and place on the frosting, give them a little twist to squeeze out just a tiny bit of the orange frosting… and wholly cow you have a cute Halloween cookie in no time AND you didn’t even turn the oven on!!

Thought I had Quit....

You guys thought I had died... I know... Well... I wish I had a story to tell that would explain my lax of posting to this blog... Other than to say life has gotten in the way. Cute kitties, baking, cycling and work have all consumed most of my free time. What few minutes I had to myself were spent with my eyes closed hoping no one would need me for anything! But I'm back and am going to give it another try. I have had lots of projects in the craft room to share so there's no lack of content... just lack of free time to share! Here's some random photos from the last few months... and check back soon... I'm working on a craft post! This boy KNOWS how to nap! Off on new adventures! This one LOVES to help! ... and he's pretty nosey! what a tummy! I love all things snowflake-y! trying to decide if the bag is for his guest... or HIM! cruising to visit family... on an adventure! my fi

introducing new additions to the family

To those that don’t know me too well might think that this blog title means there’s going to be tiny little feet running around our house soon, and you’d be half right … and those that do know me will know that this means that those tiny little feet are actually paws! A dear friend ours came home from trip to Texas to find the little kitten (of about 9 months) she left in the care of her husband and 3 sons was prego! I’m not saying her husband is to blame, in his defense those 3 sons are a handful!! She let me know that if we were ready to be kitty parents again we had first pick of the litter… well, as it turns out I might have been the hold up all this time for us to jump into pet parent-hood. Mike has all for it! So I told her that we would claim 2 of the little bundles when they made their appearance… then we waited for them to be born… April 19th around 5 in the evening I got the first text that the little ones were on the way! Our friend is an experienced animal person so she ha

Cricut magic

I am really enjoying my Cricut. This year I’ve made all kinds of cool things with it, cards, banners, tags, stencils, snowflakes… But my favorite thing so far has to be a gift I made for my sister for Christmas this year! My sister is quite the baker and takes her treats all over town, to others to enjoy, whether its the girls meeting or a family dinner, she likes to share her confections with everyone. I had come across a Pin that showed the etched bottom of a glass 9x13 pan and thought that would be cute to make for her… But the more I thought about it the more I talked myself out of making it. The 9x13 would limit her to using it for brownies or dump cakes (which she does bake these) but I wanted to do something special for her cakes and cupcakes … Then, Inspiration hit while enjoying a leisurely stroll through my local Michael's Craft store… I came across a display of Wilton cake carriers and then it hit me… why not use the Cricut to personalize it with Beth’s name using th
