Chocolate Covered Pretzels

What to do with this year supply of pretzels courtesy of Costco and my in-laws:


Well cover them in chocolate and eat them up! They aren't pretty but they were delicious! I have never made these before but it was soooo easy!




This BARELY made a dent in that giant bag so we will have to do this again :)

Birthday Cards

At the beginning of each month I go through my calendar and make a list of all the birthdays. I note which I need to send a card, email a card, send a gift, or attend a party. Then I set aside some blank cards to decorate and send out. Whenever I need a free moment or have no craft for Jaden to do, I pull out the blank cards for him to color. Then as the birthday comes closer we decorate with birthday stickers from my scrapbook stash! Then I address and send out!

Leprechaun Hat

Happy St. Patty's Day! I was kind of stumped on a St. Patty's day craft that would be easy enough for my toddler and NOT a paper craft. I finally decided we could make a leprechaun hat. We used an empty (and cleaned) plastic fruit cup, some green paint, and ribbon/clover to decorate!
The supplies (although I decided to use ribbon instead of the black pipe cleaner) excuse my son, who thinks he needs to be in every picture I take lol:

Then he painted the inside of the fruit cup green:

I modge podged the ribbon and clover:
And..a cute/easy leprechaun hat:

My little devil...errr I mean leprechaun:

History Museum Scrapbook Page

I had a six hour crop this last Saturday. Just me, five of my fave girlfriends, lots of chit-chat, coffee, and scrapping! I completed FOUR two page (12X12) layouts, a personal best! At the crop I entered this page into the layout contest and won:
Left Side (excuse the glare)

Right Side:

Jello FAIL :)

Not really a craft I know but thought I'd share anyways! My mom sent my son this super cute silicone baking pan with little bug shapes and we decided to make jello in it!




Purple jello, my son loved watching it turn color!


And HOW can you possibly fail at making jello??? Well it wouldn't pop out into the bug shapes! So we ended up with a pretty funny pile of oddly shaped purple jello blobs! Still good though :)
