Brownies in a Jar.....

SO I needed a cute & quick Visiting Teaching gift. I had been wanting to make the popular "cupcake in a jar" But I didn't have the time to make cupcakes, so I looked around to see what I had on hand - a pan of brownies, chocolate frosting & mason jars


So I cut a large brownie into 4ths and smooshed into the jar, frosted with chocolate frosting & added sprinkles. Then of course I had to "Jenifer-ize It".

I found these little forks when I was looking for something else...I thought these would be great for my daughters up coming High School Graduation Open House Party for little appetizers. But oh my goodness do they look so cute on these jars!!!

A tale of Modge Podge & Tiles...

This tale starts about 3 years ago...I love to decorate the house each month for different holidays. I wanted something that I could display on the kitchen counter yet be durable to the many messes that seem to happen in my kitchen ;) I had recently purchased come cute paper napkins for an upcoming holiday & thought those are too cute to use. So I went to the oval office (my craft room) that's where I do my best thinking/creating.

My mom showed me when I was little how to cut pictures out of a magazine & modge podge them to a decorative board to create a wall hanging. I made one with Holly Hobbie on it! So I looked around to see what I had in my stash that might work. I had some left over tiles that I had stamped/embossed on to make coasters for mother's day. So I put them all together {Modge Podge + napkin + tile = really CHEAP & Cute decoration). The picture I have above is of just a few of the tiles. I really do have 12+ whenever I see napkins now I think that will make a cute tile =D

Camera Strap Makeover

My hubby bought me the best gift for Christmas last year my Canon EOS Rebel T1i (500D) Digital SLR! I never did like the the black scratchy camera strap that it came with. One day while blog stalking - I saw were several bloggers that had made their own cute & trendy straps. Well the wheels started turning and I thought "I could do that".
So here is what I created. I absolutely LOVE it and have already thought of other things I can do to tweek it - say add a little pocket for the lens cover.... I can't wait to sew some more of these ( it will probably have to wait until my busy busy month of may is over). I could coordinate them with my outfit ;) okay maybe that's over doing it a bit.
