I came across a really cute kiss countdown at Qbees Quest. She even has a pretty awesome tutorial. (All her measurements are accurate - I love that!) I followed her tutorial to create a kiss countdown of my own. I oriented the box horizontally, instead of vertically and it seems to work well both ways.
It's an amazingly sturdy little box and just perfect for kisses. I didn't have the same punch that she has to make the doors, so I used a petal card from the Silhouette store and sized it down to one inch. My pictures are a little gray, I didn't take them in the best light! I may need to try to get better pictures...
On Sunday, we served what I'm calling Inside Out Cream Puffs. I love using our Asian spoons for bite sized desserts. This is what I came up with so that we could serve our wonderful cream puffs, but in the spoons I love:
And this is red velvet brownies followed by our famous sugar cookies. I have actually been threatened bodily harm if I ever neglect to serve our sugar cookies - so I have made them a tradition!
Dennis and I also served a strawberry punch. We love to make ice rings, so Dennis made a strawberry one this time.
It was hilarious because it was lopsided and floated around the bowl on its side. Not quite what we had in mind! And amazing how easily amused I am...
If you would like a recipe for anything, just email me and I 'll send it off.
Thank you for stopping by - have a wonderful week!
Lori, I love how your kiss calendar turned out. I'm glad you were able to find an alternative way to make the little doors. I also had a look at all that gorgeous food, which also looked like artwork. Thanks for sharing!! :)
