Celebration Baskets


I started making what I call celebration baskets this year. The basket in the picture was for my friend Brianna's birthday. I made homemade granola, caramel puff corn, white chocolate covered pretzels and bittersweet chocolate brownie cookies for her basket. It has been a great project for me and I love brainstorming and making the goodies to put in the baskets. I've actually thought of starting my own celebration basket company someday. Who knows what the future holds.... but don't be alarmed if I become famous someday! (Hahaha!)

Call Me Crafty

Last weekend during General Conference my Mom, Kim, Colette and I made some fall crafties to decorate our house with. I was put in charge of going to Lowe's to get the wood to make the decorations. There was a very kind gentlemen that offered to help me. I told him I needed 2 4x4's and 2 2x4's. He asked what type of project I was doing and I said, "We are making pumpkins." He looked at me a little bit confused and said, "You're making pumpkins out of 2x4's and 4x4's?" I said, "Yep square pumpkins and wooden blocks with fall written in vinyl letters." He just smiled and very graciously helped me find what I needed.




Today I decided I wanted to make some hair clips for my nieces that have birthdays in October. I was in the craft store forever trying to decide which ribbons and flowers to buy. Then, after I had everything picked out I walked by an isle that had an entire section of kits to make hair clips. It comes with the ribbon, jewels, flowers and everything. So, I decided to use a mixture. I kept some of the things I had picked out and bought a couple of kits as well. I hope my nieces like them. I think they turned out pretty well.
