virtual cookie exchange

One of the best parts about the holiday season is the yummy baked goodies. I always get in such a baking mood whenever the fall air hits. Although my family is usually very happy to oblige me as I stuff all sorts of cookies, pies, and treats down their throats, I can tell that sometimes they think I have gone absolutely nuts. I have some go-to recipes that I tend to make every year, but it is always fun to try out some new things.

Cookie exchanges are always popular during the holiday season, so we thought it would be perfect to host a virtual cookie exchange! Don't know what a cookie exchange is? It's often done as a holiday get together with friends, and each family/couple brings a certain number of the cookies of their choice. Then everyone takes 6-12 (whatever number you decide) of each cookie, so everyone ends up with a bunch of different types to taste! We knew we wanted to share two of our favorite cookies with our readers, but we soon realized we wanted some new recipes to try out for ourselves. Hence the virtual cookie exchange. We received some wonderful recipes from some fellow bloggers. Enjoy!

1 cup peanut butter

1 egg
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cup milk chocolate chips

2 eggs, unbeaten
2 TB. water

--Cream butter and sugars. Blend in eggs, water, and vanilla until well combined. Mix dry ingredients in a separate bowl then add to wet mixure until combined. Cover dough and refrigerate at least 2 hours. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.Take 1 TB of dough, enclose one UNWRAPPED (haha) Andes Mint Cookie in the dough...and repeat.

Put melted mints in a plastic sandwich bag, seal top and cut a SMALL bit off one corner drizzle to melted mint lightly over the cookies. Let dry and enjoy!!



White Chocolate and Cranberry Cookies-submitted by Lorene from Boogaboo Babies

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon brandy (I usually substitute vanilla)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup dried cranberries

--Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and brandy. Combine the flour and baking soda; stir into the sugar mixture. Mix in the white chocolate chips and cranberries. Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. For best results, take them out while they are still doughy. Allow cookies to cool for 1 minute on the cookie sheets before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Chocolate Chubbies-submitted by Tina from Tina's Place

6 (1-ounce) semisweet chocolate squares, chopped
2 (1-ounce) unsweetened chocolate squares, chopped
1/3 cup butter
3 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate morsels
2 cups coarsely chopped pecans
2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts

--Combine first 3 ingredients in a heavy saucepan; cook, stirring often, over low heat until chocolate melts. Remove from heat; cool slightly. Beat eggs and sugar at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth; add chocolate mixture, beating well. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; add to chocolate mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Fold in chocolate morsels, pecans, and walnuts. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 325° for 12 to 15 minutes or until done. Cool cookies on baking sheet 1 minute. Remove to wire racks; cool.



Chocolate Crinkles-submitted by Tabetha from Reminisce Heirlooms

2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
1 tbs. vanilla extract
2 eggs
3 tbs. cocoa powder
1/4 c. milk ( may need a tsp. more)
1 stick softened butter
1/2 c. crushed pecans

--Mix all dry ingredients. Add in the butter and eggs with vanilla. Mix in pecans. Cover and chill for two hours. When ready to roll, preheat your oven to 350. You will also need one box of powdered sugar at this time. I always use a melon baller or small ice cream scoop to make this process easier. Scoop small balls of dough and roll them in powdered sugar. Place them on the cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes. Your kitchen will smell oh so heavenly. Be sure to pour some milk beacuse as soon as they are out of the oven you will want to dip a hot cookie into your milk. Oh have mercy they are so good.



Scotcheroos-submitted by Alena from Jo Mama

1 1/2 C. creamy peanut butter
1 C. light corn syrup
1 C. sugar
6 C. rice krispies cereal
1 2/3 C. butterscotch chips*
1 C. semi-sweet chocolate chips*

*(You can adjust the amounts of the chocolate and butterscotch chips to your liking. For example, if you aren't a big fan of butterscotch these are still good when you switch the measurements of the chocolate and butterscotch.)

Coat a 9x13 pan with non-stick cooking spray. Combine peanut butter, sugar, and corn syrup in a large saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until melted. Remove from heat. Add cereal and stir until thoroughly coated. Press onto bottom of prepared baking pan. Microwave the butterscotch chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in a large microwaveable bowl on HIGH power for 1 minute. Stir. Microwave at additional 10-20 second intervals, stirring until smooth. Spread over cereal mixture. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes or until topping is firm. Cut into squares and then triangles if desired. Makes approx. 20 bars or 40 triangles.

Optional (and pictured): Melt additional dark chocolate chips and/or butterscotch and/or white chocolate, separately, about 1/4 cup each. Use spoon to drizzle stripes back and forth on the pan, with each variety. (I usually only use two different kinds.) Refrigerate again to let the chocolate harden. The scotcheroos pictured are with dark chocolate and butterscotch drizzled on top. I like the look of it better than plain, if I am taking to a party or giving as a gift. When I make them just for my family I completely skip the drizzled chocolate on top. It's yummy either way.

1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
5 (2.1 oz) butterfinger candy bars - chopped

--Preheat oven 350 degrees. Lightly grease baking sheets. Cream butter and sugars. Add egg whites; beat in peanut butter and vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda and salt. Add to creamed mixture - mix well. Stir in chopped candy bars. Shape dough into 1 1/2 inch balls. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

sew squeaky! Giveaway too!

Christmas is such a fun time of year. I love how excited my children get over their Christmas wish lists. Of course, like any good crafty mama, I have to add to their presents with handmade items. Two years ago I spent a lot of time sewing outfits for an American Girl doll. Then came the accessories like her pillow and bedding. Last year I was busy crocheting baby doll booties and hats so all the little babies dolls would match their little mama.

This year, it's all about the Zhu Zhu pets. What do you make a hamster? Well, my little one takes hers everywhere and insists on sleeping with it too. So, I decided to make this cute guy his very own "sleeping bag". Here's how I did it in case you want to make one for your squeaky little pet.

I cut some scrap fabric into 5 inches by 10 inches. I chose a soft fuzzy fabric for the inside and a cute cotton print for the outside.


Lay the fabric right sides together and sew all the way around. Leave a 2 inch opening where you do not sew so you can turn the fabric.

Next, I trimmed my corners and turned the fabric right side out. I used a chopstick to push out the corners.



Then I sewed the side with the 2 inch opening down so the opening is now shut.



Last I fold the fabric in half with the inside lining fabric on the outside and sewed two of the sides together leaving a little opening. I turned my little pouch inside out.


Done! One cute little sleeping bag for our little "Baby Chicken" (I can't seem to convince her it is really a hamster-not a chicken. That's okay though. She loves it all the same).


So, now you're thinking, "Great, I've got the cute sleeping bag, but what do I put in it?" Well, never fear! Your little birdies are going to come through for you. We have a brand new in box white Zhu Zhu pet dying to be adopted. He's looking for a home within the continental United States.

the five-minute feather headband

Look glam this holiday party season with a fun DIY headband. Turn a simple headband and feathers into an adorable feather hairpiece.


All you need is one plain headband, a feather patch, and a glue gun. I found this feather combo at MJ Trimmings in New York. You can also try your local craft store near the Mardi Gras masks and decorations. Forever 21 is a great place to find inexpensive headbands. Right now they have a package of 2 covered headbands (no teeth) for $1.50!



Simply hot glue the feather patch to your headband. To cover up some of the glue job, take a coordinating piece of felt to place on the bottom of the feather patch and sandwich the headband between the felt and the feather.



Simple, yet stylish.


Feathers come in so many colors and combinations you are sure to find one that will match your outfit. Imagine how cute your headband would be with any of these gorgeous feather patches. And since they only take about 5 minutes to make, you can glam up your look on your way out the door!

hairbow holder

I love making hair accessories for my girls. Unfortunately, this love for hair bows and clips has made quite a mess in the bathroom. I am finding the clips and bows everywhere. I finally broke down and made a hairbow holder. You may have seen these on other blogs. They are quite popular, but that's because they are so necessary. This little holder keeps them in one place. And it looks cute in the bathroom!



This was super easy to make. I just purchased a frame I liked and adhered coordinating cardstock to the glass. I then cut three pieces of matching ribbon and with a hot glue gun attached it to the back of the glass.



Now, all I have to do is slip the bows onto the ribbons for an adorable and functional piece.

thankful jar

Last year we showed you how to make a grateful book for the Thanksgiving season, and this year we've created a similar project with the same feeling. I love giving family members a chance to write down their blessings--it helps us to remember how blessed we really are. This Thankful Jar is perfect for recording what each person is grateful for this year, and after Thanksgiving you have the start of a great Christmas garland to remind you of those blessings all season long!


Note: I used papers and rub-ons from Pink Paisley's Amber Road collection, which I think is beautiful and versatile. It looks like autumn, but it easily transitions into Christmas and winter.

Thankful Jar Tutorial

Supplies:
*Glass apothecary jar (we found ours on clearance at Ben Franklin for $2!)
*Rub-ons (we used the "Thankful" piece from Pink Paisley's Amber Road collection)
*Rub-on applicator or Popsicle stick
*Double-sided patterned papers cut into 1/2" by 6" strips
*Piece of patterned paper cut to fit part of the inside of the jar
*Length of ribbon to tie around jar
*Glue Dots
*Mini attacher or stapler (we love the one by Tim Holtz)
*Pen or marker

1. Be sure your glass jar is clean and free from dust and then adhere your rub-on. (Stacy mentioned she didn't know how to use rub-ons, so I've added a tutorial within the tutorial for you first-timers!) Cut the portion you want from the rub-on from sheet and remove paper backing. Place where you want it on the glass and lightly press it down with your fingers. Use your rub-on tool (mine is by EK Success) or a Popsicle stick to rub all over the image until it is completely transferred. If part of the rub-on doesn't transfer, just put it back down in the right spot and rub again until it does. Easy-peasy!




Here's what my finished rub-on looks like up close:


2. Cut a strip of one of your papers about 3" wide and long enough to fit all the way around the inside of the jar. I used Glue Dots to stick it to the inside of the jar. If you position them right, you won't see the Glue Dots because the ribbon will cover them up.


3. Tie a coordinating ribbon to the outside of the jar just above the rub-on, being sure to cover up your Glue Dots.


4. Cut your patterned paper into 1/2" x 6" strips. We used various patterns just to make it look cute in the jar.


That's it for the jar! Now leave the strips of paper next to the jar with a pen so your family, friends, and guests can write their blessings on a strip and put it in the jar. I plan on reading the strips out loud at the Thanksgiving dinner table. But don't throw them away when you're done!


We took our strips and made them into rings, using a mini attacher (aka cute little stapler) to create a chain.




This creates a meaningful garland to remind your family of all their blessings during the rush of the Christmas season. Hang it on your tree, across your mantle, from a light fixture, or anywhere else it will be enjoyed.




Another idea is to create a scrapbook layout using the strips as the background. Just adhere them close together on a sheet of card stock and you have a sweet homemade patterned paper for your Thanksgiving photos. Sorry, no picture of that yet!

airport car seat bag

Are you traveling out of town for the upcoming holidays? If so and you have young kids, you may be dreading the crazy circus act of juggling all the luggage, kids and car seats. You know what we are talking about...the car seats strategically balanced on your wheeled luggage so you can still carry your sweetie. We've been there and have held our breathes as we maneuver through the crowds praying that someone doesn't bump our car seat/luggage creation and send it all tumbling down.

Well, here's a short tutorial for a car seat bag you can use to help carry that seat around the airport.

Car Seat Bag Tutorial

Supplies:
*Fabric-you are going to need quite a bit so dig through your stash or hit up the clearance rack at the local fabric store
*Belting-about 20 to 25 inches
*Ribbon or rope
*Chalk or pencil
*Sewing machine or serger

I apologize I don't have any pictures of this first step. I really thought I did, but when I went back to look it was gone. So, try to imagine a beautiful picture here.

Step One:
Place your carseat on the base fabric. Using pencil or chalk trace a rectangle outline of the base. Give yourself one to one and half inches extra. If you don't have chalk or pencil, you can just eyeball it. This will be the base of your bag.

Step Two:
Round off your base rectangles corners.


Step Three:
Using a tape measure, measure around your base. If you have a serger and plan on serging all raw edges, then add one inch to this measurement. If you do not have a serger and you are going to sew hems instead then add two inches. This will be how long you need your side fabric to be. Measure your carseat's height and add 5 inches. This is how tall you need the fabric to be. If you want to do contrasting fabric like I did then just figure out how much of each you want. Sewn all together it should still be the height of your car seat plus five inches.

Step Four:
If you have contrasting fabric, sew them together. (Please ignore my casing here in this picture. I determined, after having made this that it is easier to do the casing later.) If you don't have contrasting fabric you can skip to Step Five.


Step Five:
Add embellishments if you like. I just added a simple ribbon.


Step Six:
Once you have your embellishments and your fabric all sewn together, you can serge the sides or fold in twice 1/4 of an inche for a total of 1/2 an inch on both sides and sew to make a nice hem.


Step Seven:
You should have one very large piece of fabric with either serged edges or nice hems. Now it is time to make the top casing. This casing will be for the ribbon or rope so you can easily draw the bag close. Fold the top down and sew.


(Again, please ignore that this piece was done seperately. When you do this you should have one big piece all sewn together)

Step Eight:
Sew the short sides of side fabric together to make a tube. Be careful not to sew your casing shut. I would start sewing about 5 inches down from the top of the casing.

Step Nine:
Now take this tube and pin it to the base fabric with the right sides together.


If for any reason you have too much side fabric, then fix this problem by pleating the corners. These little pleats or gathers should help. Sew the side of the bag to the base.

Step Ten:
Turn your bag right side out. Prepare your belting by either putting fray check on the ends or burning the edges slightly with a match to prevent fraying. Next sew it to the bag. I chose to sew it on the seam.



Step Eleven:
Using a safety pin attached to your rope or ribbon, thread the rope or ribbon through the casing.

That's it! Put your car seat inside and cinch the top. You're now ready for an almost stress-free trip to the airport!

screenprint at home

I can't even count the number of times I've googled "Screen Printing" to try and figure out what is the best way to do it. I love the look. Unfortunately, I've always been intimidated by all the effort that goes into making the screen and then setting up a work station for the actual printing. This is why you have not seen a screen printing post on this blog yet. Well, now I can put my screen printing intimidation aside. I am so excited because Plaid just came out with a new product that makes screen printing easy to do at home.

Have you seen this yet?

They have the paints and the "screens" already done for you so all you have to do it put it together. Easy as pie! I love it. I am always looking for crafts to do with my kids and this is the perfect craft we can do together. You can buy this directly from Plaid or at your local craft store.

The shirt above was made using this. Amazing! Now I am off to screen print some little crowns on onesies.

cheddar biscuits

My husband is a huge fan of the cheddar biscuits they bring to the table at Red Lobster. If he could go and eat just those, he would be a happy man. My mom told me that in her Food Network Magazine they came up with a recipe that tried to duplicate these yummy biscuits. I knew I had to try them out and see if they were as good. I must say....they are almost exact. Last week we shared our favorite Thanksgiving rolls with you, but if you are in the mood to take a non-traditional route this year....these biscuits would be a hit at the table.



Almost Famous Cheddar Biscuits

* Cooking spray
* 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons baking powder
* 2 1/2 teaspoons sugar
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 3 tablespoons vegetable shortening, at room temperature
* 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
* 6 ounces grated yellow cheddar cheese (about 1 1/4 cups)
* 3/4 cup whole milk

For the garlic butter:

* 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
* 1 clove garlic, smashed
* 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley

Directions:
Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees. Lightly mist a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

Make the biscuits: Pulse the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a food processor. You may add a little garlic powder to the dough if you like more of a garlic flavor. Add the shortening and pulse until combined. Add the butter; pulse 4 or 5 times, or until the butter is in pea-size pieces. Add the cheese and pulse 2 or 3 times. Pour in the milk and pulse just until the mixture is moistened and forms a shaggy dough. Turn out onto a clean surface and gently knead until the dough comes together. Do not overwork the dough or the biscuits will be tough. You may add a little garlic powder to the dough if you like more of a garlic flavor.

Drop the dough onto the baking sheet in scant 1/4-cup portions, 2 inches apart, and bake until golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, make the garlic butter: Melt the butter with the garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat; cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley. Brush the biscuits with the garlic butter and serve warm.

cloth diaper giveaway!

I have a good friend who is very "green." She amazes me. But I have to admit I was a little skeptical when I heard she was doing cloth diapers for her first baby. I thought, she'll never make it past the first three months--all those blowouts? The only reason my mom did cloth diapers is that was the only choice she had! What I didn't realize was how easy they had made saving the earth with all the new cloth diaper supplies and "systems" out there. This is not what my mother had to work with.

Our newest sponsor, Great Lakes Diaper Company, tells us there are 3 main reasons why people choose cloth diapers over disposables: it is good for baby, good for our environment and it saves money. Pretty convincing? They have more information on their site to help you decide if cloth is right for your family. The owners use cloth themselves, so they're always willing to give you personal advice and direction if you need it!

Great Lakes sells modern cloth diapers and accessories, including brands like Mother-ease, Fuzzi Bunz, Knickernappies, Gro Baby, Dream-eze, the Natural Baby Company, and Wahmmies. Seriously, Fuzzi Buns? Knickernappies? I might have to try this cloth thing just for the funny names! They also do special orders, and their shipping is fast.


Whether you're a veteran cloth diaper fan, or have just decided to give it a try, we have a great giveaway for you! Great Lakes Diaper Company has generously offered our readers a $30 gift certificate toward any purchase from their site.
