Tiny Tips for Gifts to Make & Give

Clever ideas for creating and sharing heartfelt gifts. 

Inside this sweet little book it is just packed with precious ideas!!!!!!! Here are just a few 

tips so you can see what is in the inside of this book! 

Tie a sprig of rosemary, for remembrance, to jars of jams & jellies before giving. 

Fill a large pickle jar with a pillar candle, then surround it with an assortment of colorful buttons. A whimsical present for a crafty friend! 

Fill delicate flowered vintage teacups with scented wax crystals and slip in a wick. These sweet candles are nice to have on hand for special visitors!

Whip up a new tablecloth or runner and matching napkins from homespun...no sewing needed! To add a fringe, just pull away threads, one row at a time. A cheery gift!

That is just a few ideas. There are 98 pages to this 5” x 5” idea book!

Here is another review of the second little book I recieved! 

Order here if you would like.

Tiny Tips for the Kitchen

Simple shortcuts & helpful hints for the heart of the home. 

You are going to find this one sooooo sooooo helpful in your kitchen! I couldn’t believe some of the tips I found in this fun little book. Here are a few!

A quick substitution for corn syrup combine 1 -1/4 cups sugar and 1/3 cup water in a saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat and mixture thickens and becomes syrupy.
We do this at the bakery all the time! Works great!

Does a recipe call for toasted nuts or coconut? Toast your own by spreading in a shallow pan and baking at 350 degrees for 7 to 12 minutes stirring frequently until golden. 

Parchment paper is a baker’s best friend! Pace it on a baking sheet to keep cookies from spreading and sticking...clean-up is a breeze too. Look for rolls of parchment paper at groceries and bakery supply stores.

This is a must at the bakery!!!!!!!!!

Chopped or crushed candy bars make a fast &; easy topping for frosted cakes. Try using toffee, carmel or nougat bars........mmm! 

We make brownies frosted with peanut butter frosting!!!!  Then we chop Reese's peanut buttercups and sprinkle on the top. 

Sooooooo aren't these the sweetest books? One person could win one of these books of their choice!!!!!!! All you have to do is...

Let the party begin!!!!!!

Here is what we made at work today. I used Hershey's Kisses Cordial Candies for a nummy cupcake!  They were delicious and most important the kids thought so too!

Okay the pic doesn't look that good........sorry, but they are so tasty!

Super easy cupcakes to make!!!!!! Make up your favorite chocolate cake recipe........make it into cupcakes. Start taking off the foil of each Hershey's Cordial Cherry Kiss while they are cooking. Cut each candy in half while cupcakes are baking. Take cooked cupcakes out of the oven and be ready to push into the top middle of cupcake a 1/2 of a Hershey's cordial kiss.  Make a butter cream frosting and add cherry pie filling to your taste. For a regular 2 cups of powdered sugar recipe I would use about 2-3 tablespoons, beat good. Frost cupcakes after they cool! This was the best tasting cupcake ever!!!!!!! Not kidding! Tasted like a huge cordial candy cupcake! You must try.


Hope you enjoy the party.......I will be waiting to see who comes. 


Hugs and blessings to all you precious ladies that make
my life so special each day!
