Who doesn’t love a nice dessert pizza?!  This one combines all of the wonderful flavors of fall for a tasty treat and a beautiful presentation.  Remember this little guy from last Halloween?  This recipe is another great way to use that delicious caramel from Gygi’s.

In a few days, I’ll be posting about an amazing blogger’s night out that took place at Gardner Village a few weeks ago.  One of my favorite stores at the village (aren’t they all?) is Pine Needles where you can find more fun fabric then you’ll know how to handle.  I went ahead and busted [...]

Same shape, new project

When you’ve spent the time designing your own shape for use with your silhouette, it’s nice to use it more than one way.  Here’s a great example of applying that principle using the FREE shape file (subscribe to the right if you want it!) from last week’s Wooden Chalkboard Plant Markers. I love these turquoise [...]

Wooden Chalkboard Plant Markers

I was at Michael’s craft store the other day and saw a set of these of rectangular plant markers by Martha Stewart and thought they looked pretty fun and functional.  When I took them to check out, they rang up $12.99…yikes!, they were in the wrong bin and I wasn’t about to pay that price [...]

St. Patrick’s Day Treat and Printable – Leprechaun Munch

I have to say, this treat turned out so tasty.  It was a total experiment and we loved the result–the combination of mint and chocolate with a little salty crunch was just right.  Pretty much all of our supplies came from one of our favorite local kitchen stores, Orson Gygi.  You can order supplies from [...]

Meet Carameled Frapplestein

He’s a pretty dapper not-so-scary kind of dude.  We like carameled apples around here, but they taste excessively sweet to me when fully drenched in caramel.  So this was a good compromise. Here’s how we made him: Hair:  Caramel and miniature chocolate chips.  Use good caramel like the one sold here (great tips for carameled [...]
