Wordless Wednesday. National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day!

Happy Friday. Cake Design.

My daughter wants to be a baker someday.  What a wonderful video to inspire her to think outside the box.  I love looking at cake design as an art form.  Warning:  This video will make you want to eat a piece of cake (or two).  Watch at your own risk!  Happy Friday!

Favorite Pins. Farmyard Picks.

You can take the girl out of the country but you can't take the country out of the girl.  Even though I don't own a farm (unless you count my 5 little hens) I will always have a fondness for rural living.  Here are a few of my favorite pins from my Green Acres board on Pinterest.

Wordless Wednesday. Clouds.

DIY. Piñata Tutorial.

When I spotted this adorable car and camper piñata I knew I would have to break out the craft supplies and create one before the Summer is over.  What I love about this tutorial is the easy to follow instructions that Aracely, of Whack Piñatas, has provided.  You can find the rest of her great photos, the supply list and step-by-step assembly instructions on The Etsy Blog.

Make Art. Marbling Paper.

Enjoy this mesmerizing short film on the Turkish art of paper marbling, called ebru.  If watching this doesn't end your week with a smile, nothing will.  Happy Friday!
