Treat Bags for Teacher

Next week is Teacher Appreciation Week!

We absolutely appreciate the teachers in our children's lives. Don't you? Their hard work, patience, & love do not go unnoticed.

Why not brighten up the day of the teachers in your life with a gift of appreciation & package them up in a sweetly decorated paper bag?

Boy's Room Makeover (Part 1): The Art Work

The month of May holds a fun DIY project for me — to makeover my son, Parker's bedroom. 

My to-do list includes:

• Create artwork
• Paint dresser
• Paint walls/trim
• Update window treatment
• Bulletin board
• Paint chalkboard one section on wall
• Update bedding

I'm done the first thing on the list, so that's a start!

While we were on our epic summer vacation last summer, we picked up some memorabilia with Parker's room decor in mind.

We got these coasters in Cars Land at Disneyland & the Lego minifigures at Legoland (you'll see them below).

After picking up some frames from Michael's, I simply backed the openings with cardstock, then mounted these coasters on with some permanent adhesive squares.

No-Bake Haystack Cookies {Revisited}

Today, I have for you a recipe that I've posted before. 

Like a few of my other early recipe posts, the photos were less than stellar or even appetizing.

I'm working on re-takes for those recipe items. 

My most recent recipe retake projects were these delicious, unbaked chocolate cookies, called Haystacks.

You can whip them up in a few minutes, chill them to set & have them ready to serve in hardly any time flat!

Insta-Friday #14

Welcome to another Insta-Friday! 

Spring has finally decided to grace Saskatchewan with her presence & I must say, 

I for one, am loving it!

I had almost forgotten what warm sunshine felt like...

Last Friday evening, I went to a local handmade market with a friend of mine. These custom made dolls tickled my fancy.

The old man dolls & the bears with glasses were my favourites.

How can you not smile when you look at them?
