creative ideas and inspiration for the home and family
This was the most popular post on my other blog, Crazy Domestic. It has been pinned over 200,000 times! Let's take a look: I saw a picture of these the other day on Allrecipes.com and thought it was such a cute idea, I had to try it. After googleing it, I found a good tutorial on Stacy's Sweet Shop.

And how perfect would they be as a "place card" on your Thanksgiving table? There's just something about handprint turkeys that are irresistibly darling. They … [Read more...]
Holidays make me nostalgic. I can't help it. I just love to jog down memory lane and remember all of the classic crafts and traditions that I used to do as a kid. Yes, just thinking of these gumdrop turkeys gives me a twinkle in my eye. You remember them, don't you? As I attempted to recreate the cookie version of this craft, I realized my kids had never seen/made them. It was tragic to discover that I hadn't passed on this treasure. So we made the old school version and then I … [Read more...]
