Just Add Stickers

Last week my whole family was sick for the entire week. We all had fevers and chills for days and days. One night when I was starting to feel a bit better I decided that we needed a little pick me up and change of scenery. I decided to take out our S-Patick's Day decorations out and make some rainbow hearts to decorate with.  This was just as much of a craft as I could manage at that time. I took out a stack of felt, scissors and my glue gun. I cut hearts out starting in rainbow colors starting with red and getting smaller with each heart. I used the 1st set of hearts as a template for the others. Once they were all cut out I glued them together.  I used these rainbow hearts to decorate the hutch in my kitchen, a space I love to decorate because we can all see it from the table and it is nice to change things up without changing too much.  Along with the rainbow hearts I made a 'pot-o-gold' using some decorative coins and yellow tissue paper. I am happy with how this turn...

Have you ever ordered something and received the miniature version of it? I have, and I know that I am not the only one. This happened to me two Christmases ago. In all fainess it was probably clearly marked, I just thought that it was a cooking kit for kids but it was actually a mini baking set,  to make not just small treats but mini treats.  Instead of returning the mini baking set I decided to keep it for a rainy day and we finally had a chance to use it this weekend. Little Miss is very interested with mini versions of things these days, especially the mini brands surprise packs. I brought the baking kit when went to Grandma's for the weekend and it was a big hit with everyone.  The overall consensus is that the recipes are actually tasty but it is also messy, since we have to take out all the ingredients anyways we should have made big versions as well. There are lots of websites and YouTube channels for tiny cooking. Overall it was very cute and a lot of fun! ...
