Tasty treats!
If you ordered something this week, then you can expect to receive one of these tasty little treats in with your order! I like to take something simple- like a couple of cookies- and add some cute packaging to make it more fun! Wouldn't you like to receive one of these in the mail?
Feeling Thankful!
I love this time of year- the weather is getting cooler (which I actually don't like), the trees are putting on a beautiful display of colours, and it is time to take stock of all the things we have to be thankful for! Coming from a big family (I have 6 brothers and sisters!), family gatherings are loud, entertaining and fun! It reminds me how grateful I am to have such a wonderful group of siblings, in-laws, nieces and nephews.... and a few boyfriends and a fiance!
It is also a wonderful time to get crafty and make little thank-you's to let the people you love know that you care. I made these cute little pumpkins and added a tasty piece of fudge inside. I've included the recipe in case you want to try it for yourself- it is to die for! The recipe is from my sister- it is very easy- but incredibly delicious! It is now a must-have at all my card classes!
Watch for a Christmas version of these little boxes which will be available in my store in November.
Happy Thanksgiving!

HAPPY FALL!
Well, Fall is officially here today at 4:22 pm. I love the crisp feel of the air in Fall, and snuggling up in a warm sweater! But my favourite part of fall has to be the leaves changing colour! The forest seems to brighten up with the glorious colours of fall. I took a few pics with my phone on my walk with Marley today- check out the leaf that is half green/ half red- so cool!
With the rainy day yesterday I spent the day in my studio creating! Check out a few of the new cards in the store. Come back next weekend for my classic Ginger Cookie recipe, complete with gift packaging ideas!
