Favorite Things

Last night my friend, Melanie, hosted a really fun party. It was a "Favorite Things" party - we were split into groups of 6 girls. We brought one of our favorite things for each of the girls in our group.  My favorite thing lately has been my Silhouette cutter. So I made these frames (magnets on the back) for their kitchens. I cut the names in mirrored image out of vinyl so they stick to the back side of the glass. That way they won't come off when they clean the dry erase marker off the front.  And since it's not just printed on the paper, they can change out the papers for different seasons or to match their decor better.
I got so many fun gifts also - a kitchen gadget, an awesome book, some delicious treats, great cd, and the cutest custom made scarf - thanks girls!!

A must for Christmas time!

Each Christmas I have a Treat Making class. We always decorate the traditional "gingerbread" houses and then make a whole bunch of other treats. This year Tess had several of her good friends in class with her. Here she is with one of her BFF's - Morgan. They made cupcakes, the Smore's guy, caramel chocolate pretzels, Christmas mice, candy cane hearts and more - yum!!
Here's the whole crew! Eleven cute girls with the best imaginations!
A couple of the cute treats - Santa & Rudolph (can you guess which one is which ;)
