Kids Project: Easy & Fun Snowman Cookie...

 Where I live, it's winter for about 5 months of the year. Not kidding! It's not like that everywhere in Canada...I just happen to live in Canada's largest northern city.We have had a snowstorm in every month of the year...except for July! This year, we have had a full blanket of snow since the middle of October. Everything outside is freakin' frozen! We try to embrace winter with lots of fun winter activities and in my city, we are lucky enough to have over 12 outdoor rinks...in addition to indoor rinks. To celebrate winter....I created this fun snowman project as a fun activity for kids.
 
This is an easy project that can be created with a can of refrigerated cinnamon buns, so it's perfect for busy moms with crazy schedules during this holiday season. 
 

For this project you will need:
-A can of refrigerated cinnamon buns {You will need 2 buns per snowman.}
-white frosting
-pretzel sticks for arms
-candies & sprinkles for decorating the snowman to make buttons and eyes
-sour straps candy to make the scarf

Directions:

1. Use one cinnamon bun to make the bottom snowball for the snowman.

2. Take a second cinnamon bun and cut the outer ring of the bun off. Use this piece to make the head for the snowman. Let your child roll this into a ball for a head. Use the remaining piece of the bun to make the middle snowball for the snowman. Let your child assemble the snowman on a cookie sheet as shown.

 
3. Bake snowman as directed on the can of cinnamon buns. Let cool slightly.

4. Give your child the white frosting, a small spreader, pretzels, sprinkles and candies for decorating his/her snowman however they wish!

5. Eat and enjoy!


 Do you have snow in your neck of the woods? {I know without even asking that most of you don't!}

Holiday Outdoor Decor 2012...

 Over the last week, I have finished most of my holiday decorating. Yay!
I have been tweaking things here and there, but my outdoor decor is done.
I forgot to take a picture to show you, but we have had snow~and lots of it~since the middle of October! So that means that gathering greenery myself...not so easy...everything is frozen already!
So when Superstore{ our local grocery+ store} advertised a very basic Christmas arrangement for $25, I was sold. After looking around at other stores and comparing prices, I thought it was a good deal and it fit my budget. {I don't plan to spend anything on indoor decor this year!}
But of course, when I got home, I added my own touches to make it my mine.
I added a red bow, poinsettias and some other pieces to dress it up.
 I really love having this little bistro table by the front door...it makes such an amazing disply space for whatever arrangement I have for the season.
 And the front door got this very traditional swag that I have had for several years.
I still love it and it still looks fresh.

Next week I will be sharing my indoor decor.
Have you started or finished your holiday decorating?
What was your colour scheme for this year?

4 Amazing Photo Gift ideas...

Today I thought I would share 4 photo project ideas from the Echoes of Laughter vault that would make great Christmas gifts for loved ones. Photo gifts make the best gifts to give because they remind us of what's important in life and can truly be enjoyed all year long.

1. Photo Memory Jar
This gift is so easy to make...all you need is a medium size jar, sand, a few embellishments and a photo or two.This is such a great memento of a special family trip as well. You can easily get the kids involved in this one too. {See the original post here.}

 
2. Shadow Box Project
Here is another gift idea when you want to use a group of photos. I picked up this shadow box for $14.99 from Homesense and added the photos and embellishments to the cream background.  Embellishments are very easy to find at any dollar store to add that special touch. {See the original post here.}
 

3. Photo Tray Project
This creation can take a bit more time than the previous 2 projects and takes a bit more skill if you are not a scrapbooker. This photo tray is made by 7 Gypsies and can found at Micheal's or a specialty scrapbook store. I made these trays 2 years ago as special Christmas gifts for the grandparents and I know they loved them.{See the original post here.}



4. Mini Scrapbook.
Any small tin makes a great start for a fun & unusual scrapbook. I made this little scrapbook inside a recycled altoid tin. It can fit easily into a purse for a busy Grandma and is also great for mailing away. {See the original post here.}

 

I hope you find an idea here that inspires if you are considering making something with photos!
 
Do you have any photo gifts planned for this year?
And are you making them or buying them?
Please share...I love hearing what special gifts others have planned!

A Paper Bag Advent Calendar...

It's has been more than a few years since I last made an advent calendar, but when I saw these adorable itty bitty chevron bags,  I knew I just had to make something with them!
I got out my scrapbooking stash of punches, Christmas paper scraps, and other embellishments and spent some time creating this calendar.
I am so happy to be able to share it with you!


To begin, I used 2 frames that I already had from Pier 1 to hold pictures. I love these frames and I change the pictures in them from time to time. You could easily use large picture frames you have at home by stapling wire or string on the back to hold your advent calendar treat bags.I hung the two frames side by side to display the whole calendar in our hallway.
 Supplies:
Frames to hold the bags with wire or string to hold the bags {You could also just use string hung on a wall to hold the paper bags.}
25  paper bags
25 mini clothes pins
scrapbook embellishments & adhesive {I used tape runner}
Numbers 1-25,  print out or stickers { I used the numbers from this free printable.}

Directions:
  • Decorate the 25 paper bags with scrapbook embellishments and numbers however you like!You could also give some bags to the kids to help you decorate. It's a great family project.
  • Hang bangs from a string or wire when done.
  • Enjoy!


And what can you put in the bags?  Hersheys kisses, small candies or gum.Since my kids are older, I inserted slips of paper with questions on them for us to have a fun conversation at dinner.Some of the questions are:If you could give $10,000 to any charity for Christmas, which charity would you choose and why? What is the best Christmas surprise you've had so far?


I am busy working Christmas crafts and decorating this week, so I have lots of fun things to share soon.

What are you working on this week? Anything Christmas related? Please do tell!

{Thank you so much for Greenmunch for providing with the chevron paper bags to create my calendar. Please go check out their full line of beautiful party supplies!}

Kids Project: Easy & Fun Christmas Tree Cookie...

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my American readers! I hope you have a fabulous Thanksgiving! In Canada, we celebrated Thanksgiving in October, so we still have to wait until Christmas for another turkey dinner!

Welcome to Day 4 of Christmas Cookie Week! It's been such a great week where I have shared some other cookie creations that you can see here, here, and here. Today I am sharing a fun & easy baking project that is perfect for children!

When my kids were younger, I loved making special projects with them at Christmas!  And I wasn't always a stay-at-home mom...I used to work full-time outside the home and my kids went to daycare and  later school when they were old enough. Back then,  I was always on the lookout for simple, easy projects that didn't take a lot of time & preparation.

I know we have all seen those pretty Christmas trees made with full-size cinnamon buns...but I began to think what if there a tiny version...and made with a purchased can of cinnamon buns? How cute would that be? And if a can of pre-made cinnamon buns were used, how easy would that be?  And that is how this project began.

This project is designed for each child to make & decorate his or her own creation. The ingredient list is so easy that everything can be picked up at the grocery store on the way home from work!

Easy Cinnamon Bun Christmas Tree Cookies

Ingredients:
  • Can of Refrigerated Cinnamon Buns (Each can is enough for 1.5 cookies. Allow 1 cookie per child.}
  • Tube of Green Icing for decorating the tree, {plus the decorating tip that is in the display with the Green Icing tube}, or a purchased can of frosting, tinted green with food colouring.
  • Christmas coloured sprinkles of your choice.
Directions:

1. Cut each cinnamon bun in 4 pieces. Give each child 11 pieces for his/her tree. Ask them to roll 10 of the pieces into balls to make the tree.

2. Form the tree using 4 balls for the bottom row, 3 balls for the second row and 1 ball for the top row. Use the last ball to shape into a tree trunk.


3. Bake according to the directions on the can of buns. Let cool.

4. Decorate the tree with the tube of green icing or can of green frosting. {I used a tube of green frosting},

5. Sprinkle with Christmas coloured sprinkles.

6. Eat!

Now you have a super fun baking project that you can make with your child, grandchild, nieces or nephews, that can easily fit into a busy schedule.

Be sure to pop over to my friend Grace's blog, Sense & Simplicity, to see what fun she has been up to in the kitchen today!

My mother makes gumdrop cakes every year at Christmas and mails one to us and we love that yummy pound cake loaded with these jelly candies. And although I have left the gumdrop cake making to the expert, I do like this easy drop cookie recipe which comes from my Aunt Zelma.
