Have you ever seen these? I think they’re new. At least I haven’t seen them before at Fred Meyer (where I shop a lot) and I would see something this cool. They are nail polish strips. (AKA stickers, but nail polish strips sounds much more posh, doesn’t it?) Of course we had to try them […]

Puppy Love
January 28, 2011 by
I think I should just rename my blog “All the ideas I steal from Family Fun”. Seriously. Because whenever we get the magazine we all look through it and say “Oh, we have to make that!” about a million times. This was no exception. We had to make this, of course. I mean really… hot […]

I just thought these were too cool. Totally Valentin-y and so easy to make. What’s not to like, right? But the fact that my daughter about screamed when she saw them was the icing on the cake. She LOVED them! I saw the idea over on Pleasant Home. Ingredients * Small candy canes (left over […]

January 22, 2011 by
I thought this Valentine craft would be fun for my kids to make. We did something very similar to this back in September for the first day of school. (You can check it out here.) And we loved making our Valentine iPods but needed another fun Valentine to give to friends. We got the idea […]

I’m on a roll with the Valentine baking and crafts. I’m not sure what happened. We just started and now we can’t stop! When I saw these super cute cookies over at Family Fun I knew I had to try to make them. They are so clever and they look super cool, don’t you think? […]

January 16, 2011 by
In an emergency what do you do? Do you panic? Cry? Stress out? Eat chocolate? I eat chocolate. Does that make me strange or normal? I’m going to go with normal. So I thought I would make some Valentine’s for some friends that were a little different but still had to do with chocolate. But […]
[Continue reading...]Brasilian Fudge and An Amazing Experience
January 13, 2011 by
When I found Manu’s blog Dessert First I was thrilled. Not only because she makes amazing things but also because she lives in Brasil. I had the amazing experience when I was in high school to be a foreign exchange student to Brasil. I went the summer between my junior and senior year. I know […]

January 12, 2011 by
Who knew making a blog button would give me such a head ache! Well, I should have known. I’m not very computer savvy. So this is a big deal that I was able to do this. Now let’s just hope it actually works! =o) I can’t figure out how I got the “makingmemories” on there […]

January 10, 2011 by
Is it too early for Valentine’s Day things yet? Now that Christmas is over I’ve moved on. I’m ready for another holiday and more crafting. I’m not much of a Valentine’s Day person. I mean, I love doing crafts and things for my kids. But all the lovey dovey stuff makes me kind of vomit. […]

I have a little thing about vampires. I was about to write “I’m embarrassed to say” but I’m not. What the heck. I’m obsessed. I said it. Seriously, I am. It all started with the Twilight books and has gone a little out of control since. =o) If you need to know a good book […]
