cuz if you are, then i think you may even love this
(me crossing fingers).
(me crossing fingers).
lord knows i have bought things beyond my control over and over and over again just due to the cuteness of it all.
so christmas really does not help my budget.
i should be like my hubby whose favorite holiday is turkey day and not put too much emphasis on the packaging.
anywho,
i got these housing supplies at jo ann fabrics,
not home depot.
i just got a sharp knife to cut the bottom.
it was pretty easy actually, just don't cut your finger cuz y'know that would pretty much make it the end of this food craft.
anywho, let's keep moving along...
so do you like?
wanna win some stuff to make your own cake pops?
ok so i take that as a YES!
lookie what you can win:
what you can't see?
ok i'll open it.
still can't see?
ok how's this:
ok ok so it's not really worth $99,000,
it's worth $75 and those are holders pictured in the center, and you'll get them without the cake pops as shown on the package if you win.
but with this, you can start your own cake popping yourself, as these items are a buncha my favorite cake pop supplies!

ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of the holidays.... hmmm... that's a good question with many answers. One of my favorite is making roll and cut cookies with my family. This not only includes my parents (who continued the tradition when I was little started by my fathers Mother), but also includes my children, plus any neices or nephews available. We use different flavors of icing for different shapes of cookies. For example, bells are always blue with a touch of coconut flavoring, stars are yellow with rum flavoring, trees are green with peppermint, and Santas are red with almond!
ReplyDeleteIf I were to be lucky enough to win the mixer I would make goodies non-stop! Okay... maybe not NON stop, but sincerely with love! :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite flavor of pretty much everything is chocolate whether it be a cakepop, cupcake, candy, etc. after that I go from various berry flavors for pies and pastry's. As for my favorite part of the holidays it will always be spending time with my family, whether it be making christmas ornaments (which these cake pop ornaments will probably be my family's next craft session), baking, or decorating. I love to make memories with my family.
