I’ve decided candy bar wrappers are my new favorite things. They are cute and make the perfect little gift for teachers. We made our Thanksgiving Pilgrim candy bar wrappers and they were huge hits with my kid’s teachers. So when I started finding all these great Christmas ones, I figured I’d share them all with […]

I think fudge is my weakness. Well, okay, fudge and donuts. Ummm…. fudge, donuts and fried food. Okay, fudge, donuts, fried food and diet Coke. Yeah, that’s them. Is that bad? At least with fudge I only eat it once a year. And yeah baby, that time of year has come! Yipee! I am […]
