Yummy Treat!


Are you filling your kitchen with yummy treats? Have you tried these easy pretzel turtles yet? They are my new favorite.

They really are the easiest ever. Try not to eat them all.

Do you have a Christmas treat you must have during the holidays?

Snowflake-ish

Remember the leftover pieces I had from the wreath? I glued 12 of them together and created these snowflake-ish things.

Similar to these ornaments, except that my leftover paper pieces were 1"x5", and I used 12 of them. I thought about hanging them but they stand well on their own so now they line our fireplace mantle.

With all my leftover pieces I had enough to make 7 of these. So for those who are interested in making the wreath you really only need 3 - 4 12"x12" pages.

Paper Wreath


The holiday crafting has begun! I used this tutorial from Razzle Dazzle Crafting, and I think it turned out pretty well. At least now our front door looks a little more festive.

I cut 8 sheets of 12"x12" scrapbook paper from my stash, which created more than enough paper loops to go around the 14" wreath form that I used. In fact I'm using the leftovers for a different project...coming soon!
