A homemade Christmas present

I dont know about you, but I love homemade gifts at Christmas time. Really, anytime of the year. So much love and thought goes into them.

This year is no exception.

We switched Molly from Kiwi Crate to Doodle Crate a few months ago. They seem more age appropriate for her and more "crafty".

She is loving her second kit. This one is Colorful Candles. I was surprised at the quality (but I should not have been really, as Kiwi Crate always has top notch supplies) of the supplies given. Enough to make 4 candles and three of them have class holders.

Step by step instructions and all the supplies were in the kit - we needed nothing but the microwave.

with a little help from me (warm to hot cups after microwaving) she did it by herself.

mixing the wax with the crayons

she did all two toned candles so this is one of them setting up after the 1st pour

End result! She even put the little squiggles on the glass with the proivided special markers. Isnt it pretty! Wouldn't you be thrilled upwrapping this beauty for Christmas?

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor...

Collage Friday and a Video

We have had a good week here in NY. The snow is melting and the signs of spring are everywhere! I am ready for the light coat and to put away my Uggs for the season.
