Crafty anyone?

Anyone planning anything crafty for this weekend? 

How about some Thanksgiving crafts?

I love the signs on this blog Craftily Ever After...

Keep Calm and Cranberry On 

There are also some other cute signs there you can print.

Gather Here with Grateful Hearts

Keep Calm and Gobble On

HOW INCREDIBLY CRAFTY AND CUTE!

By the way, someone who read the blog yesterday is MAKING cake pops this weekend from the Cake Pops Cookbook! How cool is that?  She plans to share how she does and some photo's with Great Gatherings.

Have a great weekend and start planning your next GREAT GATHERING soon!

Cake Pops! How fun...

Are you familiar with Bakerella?

What about Cake Pops?



If not, then you should do yourself a favor and take a look at her site, then if you are like me...you will add her book Cake Pops to your Christmas list.  Too cute and too fun!  If anyone who gets gifts from me is reading... well you might have just found out what your gift might be this year! 

Check out these reindeer cake pops, are they not the cutest things?


Bakerella is on a book tour showing off her Cake Pops book, sure wish she was coming to a city near me!

Looking Ahead!

Yummy, spooky cupcakes...

Bat cookies for all the munchkins to take home, they all needed more sugar!

Love the damask ribbon and accents all mixed in...

Spookified table...(is that a word?)
