Schools back in session

With the hustle and bustle of school activities there's always a need for a few DIY's to make it a little more convenient and fun. 

   

 Plastic Pocket

Everyone can use an extra pocket. Stuck to the front of a book, these keep a class schedule in plain view. Look for self-adhesive plastic business-card holders or schedule holders in office-supply stores, and affix wherever you like on the cover.

Pocket Fold

Covering a book with two pieces of heavy construction paper gives you a pocket. The blue sheet should be as tall as the book plus 2 inches to fold down at the top of the book; the orange sheet should be half the book's height, plus 2 inches to fold up at the bottom.

Pencil Roll

I may use this idea for a traveling  makeup brush roll.

This chalkboard lunchbox lid is such a cute DIY.
Just think of all the sweet notes you could send, especially for those special events!
Michaels crafts now sells a roll of...

 repositional chalkboard paper.

OVER THE MOON PIES!!

An  after school snack.

 

Did you know any cake or brownie mix can be converted into a cookie mix just by adding 2 ingredients!?
2 (small or med eggs), 
or 1 (jumbo egg).
 
 Plus 1/2 cup of oil,
that's it!

 I made my* low carb mousse* with a sugar free brownie mix.
You can tweak this recipe any which way  you'd like with various flavored cake mixes.
The Red Velvet Over The Moon Pies were amazing!! 

For that particuliar filling I prepared my cream cheese/Mascarpone recipe:  8oz. cream cheese  and or Mascarpone (I use both together).
  1/4 cup powder sugar.
 1/2 cup whipped cream or Cool Whip.

 Beat until smooth and fluffy.


Once your moon pie cookies are filled with the fluffy filling, you can   also add any seasonal fresh fruit.

Whether it be after school or anytime of the day....
 these are OVER THE MOON DELICIOUS!
