Welcome to day camp - it's either a place for you to get inspired and want to make stuff, or a place where I can show off the cute things I've made since my family is tired of my texting them pictures every day! Just like camp I do all kinds of fun projects - crafts, DIY, bake, cook, garden and more - and can't wait to share them with anyone looking for ideas.
I made this shadowbox for friends after their anniversary celebration last month - they had a champagne toast so I saved a cork* and had the idea to put a copy of the invite and the cork in a small shadowbox and give it to them as a little surprise. Turned out so cute!
I blurred some info in the above pic in case they didn't want me oversharing LOL |
In case you wonder - I also made the invite for them using a free template found at Greetings Island, download and then fill in whatever info you want to include. Pretty easy to do.
*that's not exactly the whole story - I didn't save a cork, I saved all 24 of them figuring I'll find projects to use them hahahaha!!

Preheat oven to 375',. Saute sausage over medium-high heat in medium sized skillet, breaking up with fork until browned and finely crumbled, about 7-10 minutes. Drain off excess fat. Transfer sausage to medium bowl and let cool slightly. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Form into 1-inch balls. Arrange on baking sheet. Bake until cheese is melted and puffs are lightly golden, about 10-12 minutes. Serve immediately.
Puffs can be baked ahead and frozen. Thaw and then reheat in 375' oven until warmed through, about 5-7 minutes.
Makes about 2 dozen.

I saw this in one of my favorite house books by Myquillyn Smith (Welcome Home) - when she entertains she likes to have a specialty drink and this idea for an apple cider bar is so fun! I haven't done it yet but it's the perfect time of year for all things apple cider so wanted to share this now in case I don't get around to doing it in time.

Mickey is looking for fun things to send to daycare - this one for cheese stick ghosts is sooooo cute (and easy!!). Just draw on a ghost face with a black sharpie on mozzarella sticks. Also in the background of this photo is another cute idea of sharpie faces on orange snack cracker packages. Fun!
looks like she screenshot this from Pinterest, I don't know who to credit. |
I saw this idea in a magazine add, can't remember what they were advertising but I noticed that they divided a baking sheet using aluminum foil and I wondered to myself why I'd never thought of it! Just line your baking sheet with foil, leaving a little extra overhang. Make a ridge by folding the foil up in the center of the pan (or however much space you need to hold different ingredients); this way the 2 sides of the pans remain separated. In my example I put salmon on one side and asparagus on the other.
Isn't this cute?! Tesha sent this school project that Kayleigh did and it's too cute and easy not to share.
