Star Spangle Fun!


Photobucket

Lets get crackin'!
Part one...Dessert






Insert a Pirouline (wafer cookie) into the center of a (mini) cake donette.




Melt Nestle white chocolate chips.

Immerse the donette into the white chocolate.
Sprinkle with (red, white, or blue) sanding sugar.
Set aside until the white chocolate becomes firm.



I purchased (mini) star shaped cookies, but homemade shortbread stars would work just as well. Dip toothpick into melted chocolate, adhere to the (back side) of the cookie.




Brush white chocolate (in sections) over
Pirouline (wafer cookie) , sprinkle (liberally) with red, white, and blue sprinkles.




Step five
Wilton party picks can be used alone to form the shooting sparks,
or can be combined with the following...
Cut a (single) Twizzler or red licorice in half.
Cut each half three quarters of the length, leaving the end uncut Taper the bottom corners.




Insert the pick through the fringed Twizzler or licorice




Cookie pick gets placed in front and sparks pick sets behind .


Fruit leather or any flat strips of gummy candy can used in this step too.
If you can't find the Wilton party picks. The star cookie with toothpick can be substituted in this step.



Carefully insert picks through the top of your firecracker.
Place on a star (or round) sugar cookie.




voila

Stay tuned Part Two...

Falling into Fall........

October has brought a definite chill to the air, putting me in a decorating mood. As you've come to know from visiting my blog, I love exploring new ideas for taking the ordinary and making it extraordinary. Which I accomplish through the inspiration provided by visiting your lovely blogs. Nothing says "FALL" like these... PUMPKINS! The versatility of pumpkins in any fall decor is endless. I've only got one problem... sometimes the pumpkins can start to look a little sad before the seasons end. (Natalie Maynor's photo) Violet Skiles has the perfect solution! Pumpkin Toppers Flowers, leaves, pearls, frame charm .....what more could you ask for? Reusable, perhaps? Yes they are! Violet has a beautifully illustrated tutorial at her blog for creating your own Pumpkin Topper . Please stroll on over for a visit. She's just as charming as her art! **************************************************** T...

She knows we have to say goodbye....

Angel laid on my chest and filled my face with kitty kisses. Trying to give me enough of them to ease my pain and hopefully carry me through in her absence. Our time is fleeting. How I wished I could turn back the clock. When I look at her I can't convey to her the the love I have, or how great this loss is to me. Especially how I'll miss her everyday.

My circle of family and friends is very tiny here, so finding solace can be distant. This is where I'm reaching out to you. I know you understand with all your heart what these furry companions mean to us. I would like to compile a scrapbook with all your comments. Whether your a pet owner or just a lover...

Yes Virginia, Christmas has come early!

It's finally happened! My camera has closed it's shutter for the last time. No need for tears... CAUSE I'M JUMPIN' FOR JOY! "Get your boots on Virginia, were goin' camera shopin'." Although my camera isn't as old as the one pictured here...it certainly felt like it at times, especially without a macro option (that word has become music to my ears). It's quite possible I've paid the equivalent of two new cameras with all the batteries purchased over the course of time. For any of you that have stock in Duracell batteries..."you're welcome." If I were to leave the selection of my new camera up to my family... I've no doubt this is what they'd pick out. "Holy macro " just think what I could capture in a single shot... Wow, that would be one hard flash dot to shake from your retinas. I'd be the envy of every paparazzi in Hollywood. Due to the demise of my camera... I wasn't able to bring you all my ...
