Learn complete details on how to make an edible terrarium from my piece at the Phoenix New Times Chow Bella blog: Trefoil Cookie Showdown: Edible Terrarium
When the short one requested that the theme of her 5th birthday be “Under The Sea” I thought, this will be fun. I busted out the Cricut to make table top decorations that looked like aquariums. To do this I covered Subway Sandwich 3 foot delivery boxes with blue plastic table clothes, the boxes were left over from my friend Carrie (of Suchity Such) son’s birthday party – I thought they were a perfect re-use item. I then cut fish and octopus from the Create-a-Critter Cartridge and glued them on. I then used Wite-Out markers to make bubbles.
To save the memory of the day I made a matching photo frame by painting a ply-wood frame metallic blue, attaching aqua washi tape and then matching octopus and gluing on googly eyes, I will put a picture from the birthday party once I print them.
For snacks at the party I filled clam shell bowls with gold fish crackers and chocolate “treasure” coins.
Finally, I made cupcakes topped with plastic swords and blue frosting for the boys and plastic mermaids with purple frosting for the girls.
Happy Crafting xoxo
Happy St. Patrick Day – I made Irish Soda Bread.
Okay, so soda bread came long after Saint Patrick. Bicarbonate of soda arrived on the scene in the mid 1840’s as a leavening agent and was used in Ireland to work with the wheat grown there. Whatever, who needs the details of St. Patrick anyway. This bread is to soak up all the beer in your belly on the biggest beer drinking day of the year. Spend your money on the brew and get thrifty on the bread by baking a loaf yourself.
Today I am baking bread and sipping tea. I made homemade delicious caramel tea – yum! It is made with candy caramels, milk and black tea. For the complete tutorial visit mu piece at The Phoenix New Times Chow Bella blog: Caramel Tea
