The printable and instructions are there.

I made mine a little different. I decided not to use the coffee filters or the clothes pins.
Turned out super cute.
This banner is super easy to make and lots of fun.

S'more Bars

Hello again!
Today is very special,
Because today, I will be sharing my favorite dessert recipe with you.
I am famous for these S'more bars. I have made them many times and many different ways.
And every time, they are a hit.
Lets begin.


S'more bars are the best way to eat a s'more!
Easy to eat and no mess!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter- softened
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/3 cup flour
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 teaspoon salt
2-3 king sized chocolate bars
8oz (jar) marshmallow creme


*Cupcake Remake Tips*
**Try mixing 4oz of marshmallow creme and 4oz of peanut butter!**

OR
**Using Cookies and Cream chocolate bars**


Directions:  

Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease pan of choice. I normally use a regular size Pyrex pan.


* In a large bowl, cream together butter and both sugars until light and fluffy.
*Beat in vanilla and egg
*In another bowl, whisk together flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt.
* Add dry ingredients slowly to the large bowl and mix at a low speed until combined..
*Divide dough in half. (For top and bottom crust) Press half the dough into an even layer on the bottom of prepared pan.








*Place chocolate bars over the dough.
I have normally use regular chocolate bars, but this time I used Cookies and Cream! Yum!
Also, I only had 2 bars this time, so I spread them out. If I had 3 then I wouldn't of broke them up, but sat them side by side.





*Spread marshmallow creme over chocolate bars.



*Place remaining dough in a single layer on top of the marshmallow. (Flatten dough into small shingles and laying them together, is the easiest way.)


*Bake for 30-35 minutes or until lightly brown.







Makes enough to share, but you wont want to!

DIY Cookie Sheet Flowers

Hello everyone.

 Last week was intense!

From my guy and I getting sick to our car getting backed into and sent to the repair shop for 3 days!

It was one busy week!

I had almost no time to craft at all :(

But I new week is here and its time to get all caught up.

Last Wednesday was National Plant a Flower day!
Besides planting flowers on Wednesday, I made these!


These are made out of disposable cookie sheets.
These adorable flowers are simple yet time consuming. 

______________________

If you have an afternoon, this is what your going to need to make these flowers:

*Disposable cookie sheets (Dollar tree- comes in a 2 pack. I grab 2 of them.)
*Spray paint (I got mine at Walmart)
*Matte Finish (I got mine at Walmart. I picked this one because Im going to hang my flowers out side.)
*Buttons (Or any center that you want)
*Scissors
*Flower stencils (I made mine of paper)




Grab your paint and start painting!



Let them dry. As I was waiting I took pictures of my dogs!

Princess(above) & Napoleon (below)

When your cookie sheet is done spray your finish on them.

Once dry, I flipped my cookie sheets over and painted the opposite color on the back of them and put a coat of finish on, this is optional, totally up to you.

Once completely dry, bring them inside and start your flowers!

I had 3 different flowers shapes.

An I also did butterflys and owls!

Trace and cut out.

Curve the petals!

And add adorable button!

Ta-dah!

Heres more of my creations!

Tho, these are beautiful, I would not recommend young children do this craft, MAYBE with an adult.
The edges are a little bit sharp so be very very careful!


Thanks for reading!

See ya!

Cake Batter Chocolate Chip Cookies

My husband to-be loves anything and everything cake batter!
He has been begging me to make him cake batter treats, so I finally did.

I found the recipe for cake batter cookie and it seemed easy enough and I had everything it called for, so I gave it a shot. For my man.

I found the recipe here:

Cake Batter Chocolate Chip Cookies

I didn't use both chocolate chips AND white chocolate chips, I just used white.
Everything I make is with chocolate, so I decided to give chocolate a rest.

My husband to-be!




Yummy!

Diy Post-it note Flower

Yay! Spring has sprung!

Well, sorta.

My flowers are sprouting but no flowers yet. I can't wait for them to pop up and show their colors!

So I made a paper flower because I'm so excited!

Its so lovely and easy, I can't wait to make more!

I bet you have everything to make it already!

Here is whatcha need:

*Cd
*Post it notes (I used 51, It just depends on how tight or lose you roll.)
*Glue gun & Glue
*Tape
*Stapler
*Paper clip or soda can tab (To hang with)

Lets get started!

First thing is to make the flower petals.
You can do them a lot of different ways.
But here is what I did:

I started by putting the sticky side facing down.
Pull one corner in first and rolling it inward.
(Or pull both corners at the same time.)



Once you got the petal shape, tape the corner down so I won't unroll.

Then grab your stapler.
And put a staple about 1 inch up your petal. This will help us keep the flower in a circle shape.





Now make a bunch!

Once I had enough for the first layer (17 petals) I set them on the cd.
I DID NOT glue them until I knew I had enough and they were in the right spot.
When you are putting them on your Cd make sure to keep the staple at the edge of the cd, that will make the flower stay in the circle shape we want.






Once everything is in place, start gluing.




All done!
Next layer!
(I had 17 petals for the second layer)

We are doing the same thing as the first layer, but we have to move the second layer down a bit.
And offset the petals.
Once again, I DID NOT glue them until I knew I had enough and they were in the right spot.
Make sure to pay attention to your staples!! Mine are a little messy but it worked out alright.



Once everything is in place, GLUE!

Moving on to the third layer!
(I had 17 petals for this layer)

Same thing, move the petals down and offset the other layers.
Once everything is in place, glue it down.




All done!
But not really....Few more steps!

Add a center! I have lots of paint sample paper things so I cut a circle out and glued it down.
Ta-Dah!



Last step!
I flipped it over a I glued a paper clip down so I can hang it up on my wall.




Enjoy!




Oooo try making two of the same color and glue the Cd backs to each other, hang from ceiling!
Im for sure going to make tons of these! Next one is gonna be 3 different color post-it notes. Try using newspaper or even book pages! So many possibilities! Have fun!


See ya!
