the sweetest snowglobe: treats only!

I LOVE making gingerbread houses with the kids, but, with my recent obsession of snow globes, I couldn’t help but switch it up this year. Check out this totally edible, sweets filled, snow globe with a rice krispie tree as the star!

holiday gift tags… you can print, craft or bake!

Attention all you gift givers! It’s time to get your holiday shopping in order and package up those pretty presents with pizzazz (say that three times fast)!

Printable VS. Store Bought Decorations {& getting your money’s worth!}

There’s no bigger time of the year for decorating than the holiday season. Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas decorations flood the stores – and we can’t help but buy, buy, BUY. We recently took a little trip to our local party supply store to see what kind of Thanksgiving decorations we could get for the cost of one of our printable party sets.

post weekend update: Annual Holiday Bazaar

For the past couple of years, my daughter Autumn has taken it upon herself to throw a little “handmade craft fair” in our living room. She makes every kind of ornament she has time for can think of! This year, she discovered pinterest – and that has actually made things more difficult (I think you know what I’m talking about). The Bazaar was Sunday afternoon, and we had some wonderful neighbors, family and friends show up and buy tags, and felt and glass ornaments.

new party release: polka dots party

Happy Birthday Abby! No, not this Abby, my cousin’s adorable baby girl who just so happens to have a super rad name. You know I HAD to offer to help out, and I swear I tried really really hard not to take over. In talking to Abby’s mom about what theme or look she might like to have for the party, I found out that she had purchased a cute banner and a ton of tissue paper poms to decorate. So what’s a printable designer to do but come up with a cute coordinating set to round out the look?

my favorite recipes: pumpkin spice cake

When I say the easiest, I mean the easiest…pumpkin spice cake that is! My favorite recipes generally include few ingredients and even fewer steps and this one takes the cake {literally}. This recipe only has 4 ingredients and tastes like 10 different holiday spices in one bite! So easy and sooooo tasty, you have to try it.
