I’m not really into crafts. They always look cool but they never really turn out right and then they just seem to pile up as clutter. So I try to stick with bigger projects, like useful home improvement stuff or consumable things like FOOD.
For example, a few months ago I made some cream puffs for a friend’s baby shower. I had made them before, but I had forgotten how much FUN they are to make! It’s like playdoh for moms!
And then I found these

These are from the Bakerella blog {see sidebar link}, or you may have seen their cousin, the cupcake pops, on Martha Stewart. So I finally made some for my little sister’s b-day this weekend and they were not only super FUN, and super CUTE but also super TASTY! And you also get to impress your friends and relatives.

Those are way cute. Perfect for a baby shower. Last year I made little cakes and made them look like baby blocks, with letters, numbers and pictures on them for a baby shower. I love to create fun stuff like this in th ekitchen. I'm so with you on all the clutter that crafting creates!

Thanks for the comment on my blog. Its good to see your family. Your kids are really cute! Can I come cook with Lydia and Gini too!
You need to share HOW you made these. I was looking for something fun to do in the kitchen today!
I love Lydia's Idea, sounds like a fun girls weekend to me. Who's house are we meeting at?!
Very cute! Ok so we need to hang out, you being here in town and everything. I got your number from Bruce, I will give you a call! I hope you are having fun!
Hey Melanie, I finally got to check out your blog! What a cute family, and what fun adventures! So, it sounds like you guys moved to UT? That would be so great to see you sometime!
