I bet you can't tell this banana has already been cut. And if you turned it over on the other side, it would look exactly the same. So here's the story behind this. Long ago my brother received a magic trick set for his birthday. Now like a typical brother, he wouldn't let me play with anything...

Sarah Davis Allen The beginning of a Thanksgiving hoodie for my 2 year old. I choose hot chocolate and raspberry. I'm a little concerned though that it looks a little to similar to Freddy Krueger. What do you think?

Over the weekend I've been working on more Christmas ornaments. Above is a picture of the results, Origami Glitter Cranes. I've had this idea for awhile now but just finally got a chance to test it out. The craft came out just as I envisioned (love when that happens)...

Gorgeous! I can teach the kids how to fold the cranes and then do the glitter part for them. :)

Matryoshka Doll Card OpenedCard ClosedToday I felt like making a matryoshka doll card, for no particular reason. Sometimes it's nice to make something just for the fun of it. The hard part is finding the time. That's why I like making cards, they're quick and easy...

Every year I face the dilemma of what to do with all the Halloween candy. I always feel too guilty to throw it away. I try to incorporate it into recipes but instead end up eating a lot of it...

One of my favorite drinks to serve at parties are Italian Sodas. They're easy to make and a nice alternative to traditional soda. My Grandmother would often serve these drinks when she had friends and family over...

I made italian soda for myself once when I had a soda craving and there was none in the house...but I had club soda and vanilla flavored syrup! I want to find some mint flavored syrup so I can make a vanilla-mint Italian soda!

Kira,

Vanilla mint soda sounds delicious. Mint syrup is really easy to make. Here's a link to a recipe for it.

Last weekend we celebrated my daughter's birthday so I've had birthday decorations on the brain. This is one of the ideas that has been on my mind, mini birthday banners. The letters in the birthday banner are only 1 1/2 inches high...
