Pinewood Derby Days!
 Our oldest isn't old enough for Cub Scouts, but Derrick is the Cub Master, so we still hear all about scouts and sometimes help participate in it.  Derrick and I came up with these fun candy "trophies" to give to each scout during the Pinewood Derby. They each received one along with a certificate. They were so simple to make and would be great for birthday parties as well!  I think the photos are pretty self explanatory, just a bit of hot glue and the candy was easily attached. ...

Cub Scout Blue & Gold Banquet Cake!
 Derrick is the Cub Master at our church and asked me to make a cake for the Blue & Gold Banquet.  I used this photo as my guide and pretty much copied it. It was a great resource. Everything is edible except for the blue and white cub scout badge.  It most definitely isn't perfect (the fondant and I had a little battle...it won), but I love how it turned out in the end, and think the boys will like it tomorrow night too! The "Get Your Brag On" Link Party is open until ... Read More about Cub Scout Blue & Gold Banquet Cake!

Simple Valentine’s Day Topiary
I had a lot of fun putting this topiary together. I first saw the cupcake liner idea on here, and decided to make a topiary instead of a wreath. I found these cute liners at IKEA last year and forgot about them...until today! I know that everyone uses styrofoam balls, but I didn't have any. So I balled up some newspaper and secured it with packing tape. Perfect...and free! Â Then I began hot gluing the liners to the newspaper ball. Simple as that. The other ball will be used in ...

Paper Bag Garland! I saw this on several different sites and it looked so cute! All you need is 1 paper bag, and a bunch of fun stuff to glue on! You can make the garland out of any Christmas cookie cutter you'd like. It'd be fun to use a Christmas tree one and decorate the trees. They suggested using a cookie cutter as a pattern, that's the route I took since I can't draw! You'll need to cut the brown bag open and lay it flat.
