Hello Summer! with free ice cream cone wrappers

If you're in the northern hemisphere, summer starts today!

And is there a better way to kick off summer than with an ice cream cone three scoops high? I think not.

Ice cream is the perfect sweet treat for any occasion, especially a hot day. With a variety of flavor and topping options, there’s a combination for any sweet tooth. To help you add an extra dose of color on your ice cream cones, Shari’s Berries designed a collection of printable ice cream cone wrappers - and luckily, they let me share them here!
 

Because why would you wrap your cones in napkins when you can give them fun flair?

The easiest chocolate chip cookies ever

Quick and easy recipes are right up my alley - mostly because I usually don't have time for anything else. These chocolate chip cookies are truly the easiest ever. And, according to my daughter, just as delicious (though she may be a bit biased as she loves anything with a hit of chocolate...).

Here's the how to:

The Hot Air Balloons Bag

Hello, and welcome. today I'm showing off a bag I made a couple of weeks ago for one of my daughter's friends.

I found the hot air balloons fabric at a craft store and knew I had to buy it. It was just a scrap (big enough for this bag and maybe another similar one) and they didn't have more, but I still brought it home with me. When a couple of days later my daughter handed me the invitation for a birthday party for a little girl turning eight, I knew I had made the right decision. 

Because, yes, how cute is that fabric?

The Really Crafty Link Party #123 featured posts!

Hello and welcome. It's Friday again, which means it's time to share the features of the latest edition of The Really Crafty Link Party.

And of course, a special thank you to everyone who linked up, shared on social media and visited during the last few days!

Check out the amazing features below!

Lace edged candles

I've had two candles - one blue and one yellow - in my crafts closet for a long time. Initially I bought them with the intention of creating a nautical decor with them. I even wrapped the lower portion of the candles with rope, but the whole think became too tick and not at all practical. 

Last weekend I finally decided I either tossed the candles or finished them. And since I was not going to toss two perfectly good candles, I ripped the rope and created a lace edging instead.
