Loving the Autumn season!!

Autumn is such a beautiful time of year. So many beautiful colors, beautiful decoration and of course the gorgeous leaves the season produces. I bet God has a blast creating Autumns color palette and that has inspired us to create some "Fall" cards & capture some beautiful leaves!

Hope your enjoying this beautiful season!

A card a day!

In the busy stresses of life it is sometimes difficult to do the things you love. I decided to make a card a day and dedicate time to my crafts. With the Holidays fast approaching this will be helpful when it comes time to fill some orders.

I absolutely love and appreciate greeting cards and want to spread my love to the world!

Hope you enjoy what I've created. Please feel free to contact me if your interested in holiday cards!

Be blessed!

Bridesmaid inspired cake pops

Cake pops are popular items nowadays, and I couldn't help but share this delicious treat with my bride friend and the rest of her bridesmaids. Our 'mismatches bridesmaid' theme gave me the idea to create some cake pops to match all our dresses, and boy was it a yummy success! I've homemade these tasty treats before, and boy was it a challenging adventure, but after enjoying two of those tasty pops, you see their well worth it.

Hope these inspires you to create pops modeled after your vision as well!

Thanks,
Amanda

Homemade, handmade... There's nothing better!!

Not only is it great to make homemade gifts, crafts and to reduce, re-use and recycle, but there's something to be said for making homemade chips!!

The hubbs & I embarked in a new adventure making homemade chips in the microwave and using little to no salt! Not only were the chips tasty, but healthy and free!

Recently purchasing a chip maker & simple slicer from Pampered Chef was a great decision and were looking forward to making not just potato chips, but apple chips and more excitedly... Yucca chips!! The simple slicer is also very easy to use and the chips only take 3 minutes I. The microwave (pending on your microwave that is ;)

Homemade chips are the way to go!
