Gingerbread Rock

I recently discovered a miraculous substance called DISCO DUST. Craftheads, it has changed my baking existence. Check out the shimmery goodness that coats this year's batch of gingerbread cookies!

Stay Merry and Bright!

Ornament-ally Awesome

Cheers, Craftheads!

The holiday season is upon us. And you know what that means?! Lots of lovely crafts to be made.

Below is an all-time favorite that I recently crafted. Instead of purchasing a typical baby Christmas ornament, I figured it would be more fun and personal to craft one. I promptly headed to Michael's (where craft-dreams are made...) and sure enough they had a huge selection of ornaments. I settled on a wooden ornament as I knew I wanted to paint and that the wood would take the paint very well.




Also, major shout-out to the matte clear finish spray I used for the project. Not much is needed - just a light coating - but it did a great job holding everything together.

Keep on craftin'!

Head-Turning Turkeys

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our readers! Although Turkey Day may not strike you as the most craft-conducive of holidays, there is plenty of room to get creative! Check out the delicious ways we celebrated at my house:

My mom and I have been making this platter since the hostessing-dawn-of-time! The pecans are neatly pressed into a ridiculously delicious dip.

Corn bread turkeys for each end of the table (Nordicware turkey mold)

A Thanksgiving staple - Cinnamon-Almond tart with candied cranberries

Mallomar turkeys

Even Lucy's handkerchief is homemade - my Aunt made at least 5 years ago and the leaves still glint with gold glitter!

Hoping everyone had a very happy harvest!

Love,
