diaper favor

helped Jaclyn with these yesterday...
they look cuter with smaller treats.

My lastest crafts...

This was sooo complicated...
-bought the magnet board, took out the sheet metal.
-sanded and spray-painted the wood frame.
-glued ribbons to the back and put the metal back in.
-flipped it over and tied the ribbon...
viola!
Signs just as complicated (okay, a few more steps...)
-trace letters on to scrapbook paper.
-cut wood long enough to fit your word on.
-sand and paint (I like to spray paint, fast and smooth...)
-modge podge on your letters, or I like the Xyron...
-put a sealing coat of modge podge on.
-attach ribbon to the back to hang, or pick another hanger of choice.
(I like to use rub-ons too.)


The canvases are the same process as the signs, just with a picture underneath and they are canvas instead of wood, obviously. I like to wrap ribbon around the outside to add texture and hide staples.

Prize!!!

One of these for every month...
Photo corners are glued only on the outside edges so you can slide your favorite pics in!

What to do with all of this...

Believe it or not, I curled more...
I said I had plans, and a bunch of outfits lined-up to coordinate with...See, they turned out cute! And I have a stash of curled ribbon already cut to make more!

Bows, Bows, Bows.... and a bow holder...

Can you tell I live with little girls?
Can you tell I love it?! Can you see what I did for a large chunk of the day?
The headband pic will come...

Embrace...

I finished reading "The Host"... that woman is one addictive author...
My project for the day...Thanks to Christie for teaching us how to make curly bows a couple of weeks ago!
Thanks for the cute butterflies and princesses too!Sleeping Beauty and Belle...
And I needed more magnets to hold up all the fun stuff I anticipate scrapping with soon...

Spanky's Favorite: Marshmallow Brownies

Marshmallow Brownies

1/2 cup melted butter
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
3/4 cup flour

Combine dry ingredients in one bowl. In another bowl, melt butter in microwave. Add sugar and vanilla. Pour in with dry ingredients and add eggs. Mix well, but not too much, should still be lumpy. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. After baking them, turn oven off so it is still warm. Arrange mini marshmallows in a single layer on top of the brownies and put pan back in oven long enough for the marshmallows to melt. Remove from oven and let cool. Frost with favorite chocolate frosting.
