Summertime Ice Cream Balls

Before I get to this recipe I have some exciting news that will be coming to this blog, I am going to be adding a shopping cart so watch for some fun items that are coming soon!

This is the perfect dessert for your next BBQ, 4th of July Party or just for a fun dessert for your family!  The reason that it is perfect is that you make it ahead of time and then just take out of the freezer, add your toppings and serve!  

This is so yummy with the crunchy outside full of cinnamon and the creamy ice cream in the middle!  This resembles fried ice cream but without all the fried mess or extra calories!

Patriotic Round-up

Today I decided that I would just share a few fun ideas from past posts,  to make your summer just a little bit more patriotic.  With the 4th of July coming up, maybe you could use one or two of these ideas.  Just click on the link below each picture for step-by-step directions or recipes.

This first idea, to help with your decorating needs, are these fun lollies.  They are easy to make and they are quite stunning!  I made mine into a garland and you can learn how to make your own too:

Next I will show you some fun games and ideas for your next summer party!  The kids of all ages loved these games, so get a jump start and get the supplies to make your own, along with fun prizes!

4th of July Party

This recipe is perfect for snacking, but I must warn you that it can be very addicting!  With the sweet and salty taste, you won’t be able to eat just one handful!  It is a combination of chocolatey, sweet, salty, peanut butter, and marshmellowy bliss! This is fun to package up in individual cups or bags and looks so pretty!  There is also a story behind the name of this treat!

Better Than Hunting Chex Mix

And last, but not least, here is a fun printable for you to use!  We all know how precious our freedom is, so let’s let it RING!  You can make it into a faux canvas block, like I did here, or you can just print it and frame it.  There is the tan background or a white version.

Let Freedom Ring

So that is my patriotic round-up.  I hope that there is one or two ideas that you can use for your summer fun!

Have a great day everyone!  Love Ya!

It All Started With A Crush

A couple of weeks ago I was able to help with a friend’s daughter’s wedding.

 It was so much fun and I absolutely loved the colors…turquoise and orange!

They had a family dinner and wanted to use the Orange Crush bottles as part of the decorations!  So cute.

Raspberry Cream Puffs

For some reason I have just had a craving for a cream puff!

Weird, I know.  But I have had it for several days and so last night I decided to do something about it!

These tasted so good with the addition of the fresh raspberries!   I also added almond extract to the cream instead of vanilla and they really just hit the spot! Continue reading

Blank Invitation

Happy Presidents Day everyone!

 I hope that you get to spend the day doing something that you love!

Today, I have a little blank invitation for you.  I had to make these for one of our Relief Society activities for church and so decided that I would share a blank one with you!  You can just type your own information on it!  Print and cut and you will have your own individualized invitations!  Doesn’t get much easier than that.

In the orange box I changed my text to white and it makes it show up a lot better.

RS-002-food-storage-blankThis is formatted for an 8.5 x 11 page, so you can just print them on your own printer, and as you can see there are 4 to a page.

Hope that you enjoy them!

Have a great Presidents Day!  Love Ya!

Washi Cupcake Stands

I have been cleaning, organizing and throwing out a bunch of stuff all last week.  It feels so good.  I cleaned out my office/craft room and a big closet, cupboards and drawers.  Then I started in the kitchen and now  I need to keep going and get my kitchen all done.  That is my next goal.  I love it when I get the cleaning bug and can get a lot done because I really don’t get it very often, so I had better go for it while I can!  When you clean everything out, you can see what you have (or rather how much you have!) and so when I organized all of  my washi tape I decided that I needed to do a project with some of it!

So here is fun little  idea using your washi tape that would be perfect for a little tea party, a shower, a birthday, or even for weddings!
