Marshmallow in the Middle Cupcakes


I tried the recipe for Marshmallow in the Middle Chocolate Cupcakes from The Shabby Creek Cottage. They were really easy and yummy. I like to heat them up in the microwave before I eat them so they are melty.  Go here to get the recipe.

Engineering Print

For Mr. Jones' Christmas gift, I made an engineering print of one of our daughter's photos.  I had it done at Staples for about $3.50 and put it in a poster frame from Target.  It's just photocopy quality, but I love it.

Updated Boxwood Wreath


I stuck a dollar ornament on my simple boxwood wreath I blogged about yesterday. I like it.

Easy Wreath and Webbing Christmas Decor

I saw a boxwood wreath on Pinterest and thought I would try to make it. The Home Depot gave me clippings, I wired them to a base I had in the craft room, and I hung it by nailing upholstery webbing to the top of the door. It was a very easy, imperfect but elegant Pinterest project.  If your clippings aren't flexible, try soaking them in water for a bit.

I also used webbing on a closet door to display cards with tiny clothes pins.
