A Crafty Day with Violet

Hey my Bloggy Friends...
I'm trying to keep my "resolution" of blogging more often, and I don't think I'm doing too bad!
So, Saturday I had my Goddaughter Violet and her Mom Melissa over so we could get more stuff done for Violet's first Birthday (Which is the day after tomorrow! Eeeek!)

Thought I'd share some pics of Violet hanging out with my Cricut......(Chirp, chirp)

... not really sure she wants to look at that beepin' machine!







    She's curious... "Just maybe it's OK!"

 




"OMG... This is COOL! It makes muffin toppers and snowflakes for
my FIRST Birthday Party!"





We had such BIG plans about what we wanted to finish that day...it SOOOO didn't happen! I didn't remember to snap a pic, but Melissa worked on the muffin toppers. Cute, but SOOO many were needed!
I ended up in the kitchen for the most part....making snowflake chocolates (in white, pink and brown) with silver balls as accents! I also made cake balls.....they were a fair bit of work, but sooo yummy. I got the info for them at Bakearella ( http://www.bakerella.com/ ) But after making only about 6 of them....we scrapped that idea.
I had picked up the Wilton's brownie Pop silicone "pan"......tried those the next day. They turned out so cute, but I don't think that there will be anywhere near enough time to finish baking AND decorating them......So, gotta put the moulds away for another occasion! BUT I would recommend
them! Some pics of them.....not decorated of course! Add lollypop sticks....too cute

(one of them got a little smooshed when I was taking them out of the pan....kinda looked like a little turd! I'm sure you can figure out which one that was! LOL)

REALLY....need to plan these things better! ( *wink* So does Violet's Mommy!) http://www.mamamelissa.com/
