Fore! Isn’t that what all those golfers are yelling just before they hit their ball into the rough? At this mini-golf party, our guests had a BALL racing from hole to hole, with their cute matching party hats.

Marbled easter eggs = cakeballs!
You knew that someday this had to happen, right? I mean cakeballs are kind of a hobby of mine, and well, it is Easter pretty soon. I’m going to tell you right off the bat that the marbleizing technique on these is not “simple”… rather, it’s a little more time consuming. But so TOTALLY worth it!

autumn’s annual holiday craft bazaar
My daughter, the crafter… I don’t know where she gets it from! Last year my daughter, Autumn, came up with this idea to throw her very own Holiday Craft Bazaar. She handmade ornaments and holiday adornments and sold them to the neighborhood just as if she was running a lemonade stand. This year, we cranked the crafting up a notch and made some really cute and unique things.
