Get your Shrove On!

I don't think I have ever been wish a "Happy Shrove Tuesday" before but it happened several times this year! I was pretty excited to be at Community Living for Shrove Tuesday...how much better does it get? Really?

So, in the spirit of fun and creativity we made our own Pancake Mix (who needs that store-bought stuff anyway?)

 AND we packaged it up! (See that? We even made a little card to go with it...)

Then, we decided...since it was Shrove Tuesday that the thing to do would be to try out our Pancake Mix and get our Shrove on! Look how fluffy!

 Good enough to eat!

These pancakes were a huge hit! Everyone enjoyed a little pre-lunch snack and then took some of the mix home to share with their families!

I saved my pancake appetite for later when I made Pina Colada Pancakes, bacon and hash browns for my Creative Family...mmmmm. It was a good day.

Enjoy!

Something Sweet for Someone Sweet!

Oreo, Oreo, Oreo Cookie! I ain't got no Oreo Cookie! (Anyone, anyone? It's a camp favourite in our house!)

This week we did have Oreos...we had fun crushing them to make Oreo Truffles!

And we made fun labels to decorate them...

And we dipped them...so we finished off with Chocolate covered Oreo Cookies AND Oreo Truffles!

These were ready just in time to share for Valentine's Day!  Did you know that Oreos are the one store bought cookie that I really love?? Hmmmm Oreo Cookies!

Enjoy!

Scrappin for me (err you!)

These photos have been waiting to be uploaded for over a week. Where have I been? Nowhere really...just not feeling 100% yet trying to get better I suppose. Reading Harry Potter to the kids, trying to keep up with day to day stuff and doing some baking.

A few weeks ago at Community Living we worked on making scrapbook pages that would showcase a bit about me...er...them. 

We had fun creating a blocking effect and then doodle stamping over top to tie it all together.

Everyone got in on it and chose some of their favourite colours...

Then we filled out a little bit about ourselves...

And brought it all together.

The fun thing about the project was everyone's was so different...so them.

And there is something about a scrapbooking mess that kinda makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside...perhaps it's just me but I do think it's magic!

Enjoy!
