Cookies!

Tonight is our ward activity and we're supposed to bring a dessert to share. I really was not in the mood to create a delicious baked good, I just wanted to STAMP! So...Kaitlyn and I quickly made some homemade OREO cookies (chocolate frosting in the middle b/c I didn't want to go to the store for white frosting); then we stamped!
It was lots of fun stamping with Kaitlyn; she really enjoyed punching the circles, stamping, and glueing.

I just stamped some images and attached them to colored cardstock; then attached everything using the pop-up glue dots and toothpicks.

I know nobody will care tonight, but it was fun bonding time with Kaitlyn and it made me happy inside:)

Thanksgiving Ideas

Better late than never:) These cute little boxes were filled with M&M's and candy corn.

This was an quick and easy gift set made for one of my fabulous hostesses.

Another hostess gift--these cards are incredibly cuter in person.
