craft social

I attended the first ever Craft Social event on Friday evening and it was such a huge success! The 2 hours of crafting flew by and everyone I spoke to had a wonderful time… many thought we needed 3+ more hours because it was simply not enough! Everyone kept asking when the next event would be… so Jess, when is it? haha…

I forgot to take any pictures once the event started up so I’m at the mercy of other crafters who attended and took shots. I’ll post a little how-to on these. They are SUPER easy and a nice touch for the fellow bookworm!

But I managed to get a picture of the little toothpicks I added to my very special dessert… rice krispies. Um… you can’t go wrong with rice krispies… kids of all ages enjoy and appreciate them! I’ve learned that you can skimp a bit on the butter [and yes, it’s important to use real butter, no margarine in our household!], but you should add another 6 or so ounces of marshmallows.

I digress… I designed the little circle + verbiage on illustrator [you can stamp these or even handwrite them]. Then I punched them out with a 2” circle punch and taped the back to these bamboo special toothpicks I found at Target. I placed them on each chunk of rice krispies like a cupcake topper. I’ll have to make them again really soon!
