Remember my Good Morning Cereal Bowls?  Well I made this cookies 4 santa plate the same way.  I would have done it in red or even black, but they didn’t have either color.  So I went with turquoise and did a snowflake theme.  I think it works.  What do you think?? The middle has a quote written in a circle.  It says: “And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It … [Read more...]

lifesaver-necklaces_thumb

We are making these cute little necklaces for my nieces and the girls friends.  It seems every time someone comes over to play and they see them sitting out, they gravitate toward them and make cute exclamations like “oh how cute” or “ooh I like that”.  So I think it is a winner for girls. You start out with a standard washer in a bigger size. My hubbs brought me home a whole box of these.  Wasn’t that nice??  I think they would look awesome in even bigger sizes too.  I … [Read more...]
