The Celebration Shoppe
My darling friend Kelly at The Party Dress asked a few of us to participate in a holiday series on her blog this month. We could style a dessert table, a dinner table or a child’s table. Since my 2010 Christmas collections, Mod Candy Cane and BELIEVE, were already styled and in the shoppe, Kelly let me bend the rules a …
My absolute favorite cookie in the world is the chocolate no-bake cookie. I can’t remember a holiday without them… and to be honest they are the “go to” cookie in my house when we’re craving something sweet and simply don’t want to wait for anything to bake. You can even eat them right out of …
I love playing around with felt and I ran across two fabulous ideas on Liz Stanley’s blog say Yes! to hoboken. This first project is this set of hand-made ornaments from Dana at MADE. Monograms are the perfect “personal” gift and you don’t have to worry about your treasure being regifted… at least not easily. …
I’ve shared Brooke of the Cheeky Kitchen’s work before. Remember the end of summer picnic she and Jaimee at Sophistimom hosted. So lovely! She just inspires me! And this latest kid friendly treat does not disappoint. You simply must visit her blog to see yummy after yummy recipe and visit her on Babble’s The Family Kitchen for the how to’s …
I can honestly say that my boys inspire me constantly. I have a sketch pad of ideas on my desk at all times and it often travels around with me. The boys are always asking “What’s this mommy?” When I share my idea they often give me tips on improving it or get these large …
It’s difficult to express how grateful I am for all my customers and readers, you all mean so very much to me. I’m terribly blessed to be able to make a career out of doing what I love. I wish that for all of us! And since I like to give “little happies” now and again, I thought …
I’ve had several of you ask about the peppermint cookie bark that we made for the Mod Candy Cane collection photo shoot a few weeks ago so I thought I would share the recipe. It’s super easy and oh so very yummy! Ingredients 8-10 sandwich cookies (+ some for nibbling) 6 oz hard peppermint candies (approximately …
Not all garland has to be store-bought, and as a matter of fact it’s likely more fun if it’s not! This week while we were whipping up a few placesetting and craft ideas, my six-year old son grew a little restless. Imagine that! So we set him up with this simple craft. And the best part, we just used leftover candy that we had …
I’m always so impressed with the talents of Sue and team at Sweet Tooth Cottage, our bakery partners, but when I saw our castle and crown designs from our Princess Castle and Prince & Princess collections I honestly was in awe. (All the cookies shown in this post, including the sugar paper sheets that you can purchase separately, will be in the shoppe early …
Today starts the countdown {surge of excitement… and two little boys… running through my house this morning}! And although my advent calendar is all set to go, I just couldn’t resist sharing a few of my favorite ones from some super crafty ladies. There’s still time! I’m just completely in LOVE with this first idea from The Painter …
