Two Quick St. Patrick’s Ideas

For me, St. Patrick’s Day means two things: Shamrock Shakes and spring is just around the corner. I’m not one to normally do a St. Patty’s craft, but it’s been a long winter and I’m eager to welcome some fresh greens into my life! Here are two quick little shamrock projects using my current favourite media: washi tape. With a little luck we’ll be in sandals soon enough.

Yes, I’m one of those people. Unless it’s stained, has holes in it, or I just didn’t like it, I have pretty much every piece of baby clothing that my boys ever wore in overstuffed bins under every bed in our house.

Hawaiian Stitch Themed Birthday Party and a “Cake Free” Cake!

My son requested a Stitch-themed birthday party. This year was going to be different, I was going to create less work for myself!  To do this, I planned to make him a cake that he would actually eat and do away with the “traditional” cake. I usually make a traditional cake for the rest of the kids and make him a pie. But not this year. This year I had a plan…a Rice Krispies Treat cake! Easy to make, easy to mould, and loved by all. Turns out I am not the first person to think of this. If you Google Rice Krispies cake, tons of great inspiration comes up.
