This is about when I remembered that I only bought black ink last time I refilled the ink cartridges so you can see that the blue is running out a bit at the bottom.

You can either make a whole lot of icing, or just a tiny bit for a few little dots and lines, whatever works for you.. You’ll need ziplock bags, large or small, (I find if you’re going to be really intense about the squishing, the name brand ones do tend to hold up better, but dollar store bags work in a pinch too), icing sugar, butter, vanilla, and food coloring.. No matter what amount of icing you decide to make, you’ll need about 1 part butter to 4 parts icing sugar, a splash of vanilla and a few drops of food coloring.So for example, I used about 1 teaspoon of butter, to 4 teaspoons of icing sugar to get these amounts..

If you find your icing is too runny, add a bit more icing sugar.If it’s too thick, add a bit of milk or vanilla.I have to tell you though, it’s pretty hard to mess up.

Fact: Sugar and butter together in pretty much any combination are going to taste amazing..When everything’s all squished up and combined, cut a little hole (or a bigger one) in the corner of your bags and have fun decorating!.

I did rice krispie squares, just cause Kennedy asked me if I would make them more often and here’s the conversation that ensued when she got home from school that day.. Kennedy (upon spying the treats on the counter): What are those?.

Me (triumphant mom, for real this time): Rice krispies!I know a lot of people are doing away with their dining rooms these days specifically because they don’t use them all that often, but I really like having a room that we can use for just the 4 of us on special occasions.

Plus, that 150 year old dining room furniture that was passed down to me isn’t going anywhere!.the little dollar store bunnies.

that I painted last year.You can read more about that project.
