So today I created some soft homemade puppy treats for the girlies. I was looking to make something a little softer for Vienna to eat since she is a senior dog and has a hard time chewing.

Gingerbread House - Memory Box/Poppy Stamps Blog Hop
Welcome to the Memory Box/Poppy Stamps Blog Hop - Holiday Gift Tags or Wrappers Dec 2-Dec 4
I've created this adorable little Gingerbread House tag from the Cute Cottage and Frosted Roof and Ledges dies by PoppyStamps. Then I added accessories like the Swirled Lollipops, Goodie Gum Drops, Mini Holly Leaves and Christmas Lights Set dies by Memory Box Stamps.
I think it turned out cute with smoke out of the chimney and the roof and ledges frosted up with Flowersoft. The windows have a bit of glitter in them and the gum drops are sugared. Inside the door is where I will write my message.
This will be an adorable tag on my Gingerbread Cookie plates to give as gifts for the Holidays. I have included the Gingerbread Cookie Recipe Below if you would like to try it out this Holiday Season.

Devils Food Maraschino Cherry Cupcakes
What I've learned from Pinterest This Week
Rainbow Jello, Cupcakes & Abbi's Cake from her Birthday Yesterday! Pinterest is so Fun and Informative. My cake was a little more Pastel than I wanted but still cute. It was also huge everyone left very full. I did the rainbow picks and goodie bags using the MFT Rainbow Die-Namic and the PTI Say It With Style Thanks. So Thank You Pinterest and everyone that creates the beautiful work found throughout the internet.
Efforts from Baking
All of the Zucchini Bread and muffins, from my giant farmers market zucchini, minus a loaf and anything the kids have been eating all day. I totally ran out of pans so I started making odd shaped breads. Oh well still tastes the same. I froze 2 more cups of shredded Zucchini I couldn't dirty anymore dishes.
Recipe is as follows I think it's call Hoosier Zucchini Bread which is appropriate for me:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1 1/4 cups white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups grated zucchini
1 cup chopped walnuts(the kids don't like these so I don't add them)
Grease two 8 x 4 inch pans. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F
Sift flour, salt, baking powder, soda, and cinnamon together in a bowl.
Beat eggs, oil, vanilla, and sugar together in a large bowl. Add sifted ingredients to the creamed mixture, and beat well. Stir in zucchini until well combined. Bake for 40 to 60 minutes, or until tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on rack for 20 minutes. Remove bread from pan, and completely cool.
For muffins bake 25min.
Party
Paula's Early Birthday Lastnight
Birthday Card
Reeses Cupcakes with a peanut butter cup in the bottom of the cupcake. Devils Food Cake and Peanut Butter Frosting.
I was kind of winging it on the frosting I think I could make it more peanut buttery in the future. YUMMY Though.
Happy Early Birthday Paula
Party Party Party
Today was Abbi's Family Party! We had a great time even if the cake balls didn't turn out exactly like I had envisioned nor did the tower cake but it was fun and yummy none the less. Dave took the girls to the store and Abbi picked out a cool Dragonfly balloon. We served Chicken Patties on a bun, it is what she requested and her favorite food recently. She had fun running around and playing with her cousins and sisters. Here are a few snapshots.
