Tasty treats!

Posted on November 02, 2014 by Mary Anne Cowan | 0 Comments

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!

Posted on October 13, 2014 by Mary Anne Cowan | 0 Comments

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!
