Today is Dr. Seuss’s Birthday! Here is an online site filled with Dr. Seuss activities for kids: Seussville.
I made a little group of Dr. Seuss Characters using colored card stock and toilet paper rolls. Easy as 1, 2, 3!
Piñatas often hit the recycle bin as fast as the candy’s punched out of their guts. But I grabbed this one from a family Christmas party and help on to it to re-work it for Beatrice Moore, owner of Bragg’s Pie Factory. The annual Mutant piñata show opens this Friday at Braggs.
If you want to make a piñata you have two options: Do all the work and start from scratch, or you could use an existing piñata’s structure and restyle it into a mutant.

What’s better then home cooking? Home cooked baked goods – that’s what! This week I am sharing the brownies I made for Valentine’s Day and decorated with powdered sugar. What made these extra special? I used my Cricut and the Valentines Day Cartridge: Love Struck to cut out paper “candy hearts” designs. I laid those paper cut outs on top of the brownies and used a flour sifter to coat with powdered sugar. Results? Love, kisses and a smiles all around.
Step 1: Mix up Brownie Recipe. For my homemade brownies click here: Valentines Brownies
Step 2: Pour the mix into a 5 inch pan.
Step 3: Take out of the oven, allow to cool, place paper cut outs on top
Step 4: Fill a hand squeeze flour sifter with powdered sugar and coat the top of the brownie. Remove paper hearts.
Step Five: Enjoy!

I made this great gift for a guy friend who did some barter work for me and he loves music. I filled a flash drive with MP3’s of music and then made a gift container out of embossed paper and a mini plastic paint container that I got at the craft store. To emboss the paper I used my Cuttlebug and the Country Life Embossing Folder and I cut the guitars and cassette tape out on my Cricut using the Indie Art Cartridge. All paper was from Bazzil Basics. I loved this little goody and almost hated giving it up!

Have you hit the after Christmas sales yet? One thing that is always a good bet is rolls of wrapping paper but not necessarily to use for gift wrapping. Make some New Years Eve decorations out of pretty paper.
