Recipes:
Mini cheesecake tarts – Devon made these. They were my fav.
Mini blueberry and cherry pies – Mady helped me make these!
Cake batter bark – This is what it’s supposed to look like. I used dark chocolate and white chocolate chips, maybe that was the problem?  I didn’t want to splurge on the expensive chocolate.  Or maybe it was the the freezing/cooling time, not sure. Mine tasted good, just wasn’t as pretty! 
BLT salad – Devon made this.  It was a hit!

Yarn Wreath

I made this wreath over the weekend and love how it turned out!  I used this tutorial from Mrs. Priss.

Land of Nod Inspired Floor Cushions

These took me hours because I’m not that good at sewing but they turned out really cute!  I used the tutorial found here.

Birthday Balloon Wreath

This balloon goes up for the month of May for Miss Madylan’s birthday month! It’s huge and I’ve found that it sticks to the front door when it gets hot.  Whoops! Tutorial found here (mine is way bigger than the one shown and took a lot more than the number of balloons listed.)
