SNICKERS®: Who am I when I am hungry?

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions, experiences (and drawings!) are mine alone. #WhenImHungry #CollectiveBias I’m the type to get wrapped up in things. I get wrapped up in a project, in an errand, in a TV show and totally forget all the other things on my to-do list. MostRead more

20 Amazing and Adorable Ways to Use Peeps

One of my favorite signs of spring is the sudden appearance of birds. One day there is nothing, not a perfectly formed beak to be found… and the next day they flock around all my favorite neighborhood stores. Bright plumage lining all of the candy aisles. Of course I’m not talking about real birds. Oh no.Read more

Soft Heart Candies + Valentine Printable

I’ve mentioned before that Valentine’s Day at my house get lumped in with our wedding anniversary. For that reason, we don’t typically do anything fancy on the actual February 14th. Instead we avoid crowds and high costs by doing something special closer to the 19th. That doesn’t mean, however, that the official V-Day is allowedRead more

Upset Stomach Candies

Ah, the joy of changing seasons. The crisp air, the colorful leaves, the promise of winter snow… and the icky feeling of stomach bugs and flu. Last year, about three quarters of my immediate and extended family got a stomach bug the day after Christmas. It came on so fast and over so many, that weRead more

Minecraft Party World-Building Candies

I love Minecraft. I used to play it a lot more than lately, but my sister still does. After the huge success of my Minecraft Creeper marshmallows, and my fun with Marshmallow Sugar Decorated Eggs, I decided to dig a little deeper. At its root, Minecraft is made of blocks. And who doesn’t like those?Read more

Rootbeer Ice Cream [Recipe]

Have you ever ordered a Brown Cow? Well, its one of my favorite things ever. A brown cow is really just a rootbeer float, but with the rootbeer and icecream mixed together like a shake. Its creamy, and sassparilla flavored -ugh! Just to die for! Its only natural then, since my mother gave me anRead more

DIY Clover Mints + [Free Printable]

This project has to be one of my favorites in a long time. It was one of those things where almost everything came together as I planned it. Also- I did it over a period of days and didn’t feel to stressed about it. In this era of home-buying-madness, there is little that I don’tRead more

Upscale Apothecary Jars

One of the trends that has been floating around the crafty/home decor world lately are home-made apothecary jars. And why not?
