Secret Sister Swap on the Cricut MB

I have joined a Secret Sister Swap on the Cricut MB.

This Swap is for 3 months of your crafting supply

wishes. This is the card I made my SS as an added

bonus in addition to all the fun supplies she will receive.

I hope my SS loves this post it note holder.

I wanted to try to stick with the cooler winter

colors for the January Swap.

Mad Hatter Tea Party

I have a friend who was having a Mad Hatter

Tea Party for her daughter's Birthday. I

volunteered to make the EAT ME cookies.

I forgot to take a nice picture of them before

they were delivered. But, you can see how

they went from plain pink heart to very

pretty EAT ME cookies.

Plain pink sugar cookies.

Don't they look YUMMY!!

I also told her I would make the Happy Birthday sign.

I had a great time making it. I used the Mini

Monograms Cricut cart for the back squares and

the Hello Kitty font cart for all the letters.

I thought it would be so fun for the girls at the party

to play pin the card on the Mad Hatters Hat. I used

the hat from the groom on the Paper Doll Dress Up

cart. It was fit to page on the 12X24 mat and came

out in the perfect size. The cards were cut using the

label feature on the Preserves cart. I was able to get

4 from a 8 1/2 X 11 paper

My girls

My beautiful girls waiting to see The Nutcracker.

I just had to share an updated picture of my

Sweethearts.

Christmas tree 2010

I choose to stick with the Disney Movie theme

again this year. I added a few new cuts from the

Mickey and Friends cart and the Pooh and Friend

cart. Don't you just love the popcorn boxes. You

can make them with the Bags, Tags, Boxes and

more cart.

And yes that is popcorn in the glass ball. If you go to

my tree from last year I have all the directions on

there how to make your own.

I love Tinkerbell all the way up there. She is

at the top of the tree with a giant film bow.

My mom found some old reels of film that

was headed for the trash and knew I could

find a way to use it for my tree. So, it became

bow and lots of garland. I even figured out

a way to get the reel to stay in place.

The finished tree!! We even had Disney paper.

Sophia's 2nd Birthday

I wanted to make something for my niece's

2nd Birthday party. The theme was Gingerbread

boys. When I found a Gingerbread boy silicone

mold at Jo Ann's I couldn't pass it up. It was

perfect to make crayons for the party favors .

I used Mini Monograms for the bag toppers

and From My Kitchen for the Gingerbread Boys.

If you have been following me for a while you

know how much I LOVE Cupcakes!! Especially

mini Cupcakes. I used my Cricut and the From

My Kitchen cart to cut out the Gingerbread Boys

for the tops of the Cupcakes. I layered 2 with a

toothpick in the middle of each one.

Here is my Very Sweet niece Sophia getting

ready to blow out her candles. And yes that

is a cheesecake that her Auntie made her.

Sophia LOVES her Aunties cheesecakes

and wanted one instead of a regular birthday

cake. She is a very grown up 2 year old.

Happy Cupcake day!!

Emily and I had to make Cupcakes for

Happy Cupcake Day!!

We just wanted to wish you all a

Happy Day filled with lots of Cupcakes!!

More Deserts

I thought I would try something different. And boy

was it good. It is a Cheesecake bottom with a

chocolate ganache on top. Everyone said it taste

like a boston cream pie.

My favorite desert to make is Cheesecakes. I

made a mandarin orange Cheesecake with a

orange cream on top. I was so creamy.

I just had to share the wonderful flower

arrangement Emily made for the table.

Can I say like mother like daughter.

I think she did a great job.

Thanksgiving Deserts

I was in charge of making deserts for Thanksgiving.

This first one is a brownie bottom pecan pie.

It was so very rich and Yummy!

My daughter Emily made the pumpkin pies

and I do have to say she did a wonderful job!

This is another one of Emily's pies. She made

an apple pie complete with a lattice top.

Don't they all look so Yummy!!

I made these little one bite cream cheese

pumpkin pies.
