.:Things to Try Thursday - Sticker Book:.

Before I get on to the new idea I want to try, I just have to tell you all that I am guest posting over at Seven Thirty Three today! It is Creativity Week and I feel honored to have been asked to be a part of it! Thanks Kim!

I love this idea from Samster Mommy! I know Reece would love to have one of these. I better get one done for her before the baby comes!

Here is Natasha's great tutorial!

.:Mouth-Watering Wednesday - Cookie Dough Truffles:.

I saw this recipe on Smashed Peas & Carrots and just knew I had to try it! I love cookie dough, and cake batter, and all of those yummy things, but haven't been able to eat them because of being pregnant. This was the perfect solution - cookie dough without eggs! Super easy and super tasty!

1/2 cup butter, softened

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk

1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips

1 bar chocolate candy coating

Cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. Gradually add flour, alternating with the sweetened condensed milk, beating well after each addition. Stir in chocolate chips. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours.

In a microwave-safe bowl melt your candy coating following package directions. Take out your cookie dough mixture and roll into balls. I just used my cookie scoop.

Dip balls into chocolate, drip off excess and let dry on a sheet of waxed paper, about 15 minutes. I just put mine in the fridge.

Be sure to store them in the fridge!

They are super delicious!

.:Tutorial Tuesday - Modge (Mod) Podge Magnet Board:.

Reece got two different Leapfrog magnet sets for Christmas. I love these toys, and wanted to make sure she had access to both. But I also absolutely hate having her under my feet while I'm trying to cook and do things in the kitchen! So I decided that I would keep one on the fridge - the smaller of the sets - and make up a magnet board to hang in her room so that she would have easy access. I got this one at Robert's, using a 50% off coupon.

At first, I was thinking about glittering up the edges of the magnet board, but then I realized that a one year old + glitter = messy and not such a great idea (although it would have looked smashing!) I had a bunch of leftover fabric scraps from when I made the flowers for my curtains, and from making some other flowers for my etsy shop, as well as some fun ribbon, so I decided that I would modge podge the fabric and ribbon around the edges.

Here we go....

What you need:

- magnet board or any sort of wood frame

- Modge Podge

- fabric scraps

- foam brushes

- hot glue/gun

- paint (optional)

You'll need to take the magnet board part out of the frame while you are working.

I decided to paint the top and bottom of my frame so that I didn't have to worry about trying to get ribbon or fabric over those parts. Your call!

Then I just measured the first ribbon I was going to use, allowing for wrapping it around to the back, cut and glued it down!

You may want to make sure that your various sizes of ribbon and fabric strips will fit so that you aren't left with some funky sized space when you get down to the hole part of the frame.

Just continue doing this all the way down the frame! I used a mix of hot glue and mod podge, depending on what type of material I was working with. This is about halfway down.

And all finished!

Add your magnet board magnets and you are good to go!

I was going to put some ribbon on the back to hang it with, but this is really heavy, so for now, it is just leaning against the wall in Reece's room. Eventually - maybe not even until we get to a different house - I'll probably just have my husband hang it on nails! Might be more secure with little hands grabbing on it all the time!
