{Skeleton Cupcakes}

Item's Needed:

1- tub of whipped milk choc. frosting, or you can make your own

1- tub of white icing

Mini Marshmellows

2-3 ziploc bags

Step 1: Make your cake mix according to the directions on the box and fill your cupcake liners and bake them. I ended up with 22 cupcakes!!

Step 2: Let them cool completely

Step 3: Frost them all with the milk choc. frosting

Step 4: Take your Mini Marshmellows and draw little eyes and a smile on them. You can use the black writing icing...or you can use some of the leftover choc. frosting and stick it into a ziploc. You snip the end off and squeeze it out!!

Step 4: Take your white frosting and stick a couple spoonfuls into a ziploc bag and snip the end off. I snipped a small hole so it wasn't super thick! :) Then draw your bodies on with three little lines for the rib cage.

Step 5: Let them dry. Then put them on plate wrap them up with cute ribbon and cellophane and drop some off to your neighbors and friends!!

Love this! Cute little skeleton body! :)

Here is cute idea to through a Valentine-ish twist on your kiddos lunch...or yours for that matter. :) All I did was make Bologna Sandwiches and used a heart cookie cutter to cut to hearts out of the sandwich...I realize it leaves extras..but I cut those out in little squares and they at all but the crust!! They loved them and I have to say they are rather cute!!! See for yourself:

We served them with pink applesauce and white string cheese.

We also drank pink or red juice (courtesy of kool-aid) of course.

~Mod Podge Recipe File~

I'm so excited to start all of this...now this is no "professional" crafters blog of any sorts. The main reason I started this was to keep note of some of the crafts I do...and to share the ideas with you! So for the first craft post!!

MOD PODGE RECIPE FILE!

First off...I LOVE Mod Podge! I like either Gloss or Matte but usually use the Matte. But in this project I used Gloss. So anyway for this project you will need:

Small-Medium Wood Box with Latch- (found at Micheals or any craft store)

Red Paint/ or Color that coincides with your paper

1 sheet of scrapbooking paper

Paint Brush

Embellishments (Ribbon/buttons/flowers)

Mod Podge

Step 1: Paint the entire wooden box with color of choice/ mine was red. You may chose to remove the latch. I did on mine...I'm not a fan of Gold!

Let it dry good for 20-30 mins

Step 2: Measure Scrapbooking paper on all sides of the box/cut/and Mod Podge it to the Box.

Step 3: Here it is with all the paper mod podged...I left a small red "edge" around it to bring out the red in the paper. Let this dry really well.

Step 4: Embellish your box with ribbon, flowers, and buttons. I did 3 strips of coinciding ribbon on top and then did coinciding flowers on top of the ribbon.

I also added Ribbon and buttons to the Front of the box. I cut "Recipe" with my cricut and put it on the front. You can use any type of letters you want and mod podge them on or hot glue whichever is easiest!

Let everything dry over night and you will have your super cute Recipe File ready for you in the morning!!! Love it!

If you have any other questions feel free to comment and ask!! Also if you are interested in purchasing them. You can contact me and I will give you price information!! They are super fun to make!! ENJOY :)

~Mummy Pizza's~

We love this time of year for many many reasons!! My kids loved these super cute super easy pizza mummies:

RECIPE INGREDIENTS:

English muffins

Pizza sauce

Black olives

Cheese sticks or slices

1. Heat the oven to 350° F. For each mummy, spread a tablespoon of pizza sauce onto half of an English muffin (toast it first, if you like). 2. Set olive slices in place for eyes. 3. Lay strips of cheese (we used a pulled-apart cheese stick) across the muffin for the mummy?s wrappings. 4. Bake for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the muffin is toasty
