Teacher Tumblers

Last week my girlfriend asked if I could make some tumblers for her son's preschool teachers and from that moment personalized tumblers have been the go to teacher gift for the last week. I won't show you what the first two or three looked like it takes practice...but the finished product was perfect!

Bachelorette Invites

My close friend gilly is getting married this year and its such an exciting time, as a bridal party we chose palm springs to spend her bachelorette weekend. Since I love any excuse to craft I took the responsibility of invitations and decorations!! I wanted the weekend to have a theme but no be too cheesy so I settled on gold, flamingos, polka dots and stripes!




They turned out perfect!! I hope she loves them as much as I do...check back future posts on the rest of the décor and the final post from the weekend itself
 
XOXO

Embossing

Last year for my birthday I was given a embossing gun a couple of stamps and some embossing powder, I haven't used it in awhile and last week I decided to get a little crafty with my embosser. I made recipe cards, and a few styles of note cards and some tags for Christmas gifts. Really loving how easy it is to make gifts more personal.

Pumpkin Cheesecake Cupcakes

I found this recipe a few years back and I had always wanted to try it, so this thanksgiving I gave it a try and I was pleasantly surprised. First of all my husband loved them which says a lot since I love to bake and he rarely loves the results..( not because I am terrible baker but because he is a super picky eater)

They were delicious not too sweet not to pumpkin the perfect mix, I would skip the frosting next time and opt for just a simple buttercream but overall great recipe.

Cinnamon Rolls


Last Year my best friend gave me a recipe for butter rolls that they have been having at their thanksgiving forever. It was a lot of work its all from scratch but I am always up for a challenge. I can't begin describe how worth every moment of prep it is these butter rolls are AMAZING. I have included the recipe below...Now what happened next was a conversation about mmm these might make good cinnamon rolls...and no fail they are amazing too. So my advice make the butter rolls per recipe and then take half the dough and put it back in the fridge for cinnamon rolls the next morning!!!






 
Honestly the best rolls just as butter rolls on thanksgiving and then next morning as cinnamon rolls!
 
XOXO

Anniversary Ideas

I am always looking for something thoughtful and special for my husband, and since it will be our 5 year anniversary in Jan I wanted this year to find something extra special. Then randomly it happened my girlfriend at work shared her crafty side, she makes frames using wedding invitation and first dance songs. You can find her work on Facebook "Frame the day" her name is Jaime and let me just tell you the pictures don't do it justice I am thrilled with how it turned out.
