Play dough cookies

Just try and tell me that these aren't the prettiest cookies eVeR! I was looking for a recipe to make regular play dough for the kids and ran into this and they looked oh so pretty online that I printed it off and let it collect dust for awhile. Well, lo and behold, they are not only pretty BUT they taste pretty good too. I attribute that to the tad of cream cheese that's in the recipe. Click here for the recipe.

GO DIMENSIONAL Card Class

Here is the card class that I'll be teaching in January 2011.

Add some life to your cards by having them stand on their own. Techniques you will learn are window fold technique, scoring to create dimension, accordion flowers, glassy accents, and much more. Each of the cards will fit into an A2 envelope and then pop open to stand on it's own. These work GREAT as birthday cards and get well cards for people to display on their tables.

Cost: $20 class and materials
Extra packet: $12 (will ship for additional $5)
