My little girl helped....she's very much into kitchen time with me right now...always wanting to add in her own special ingredients....some of them...waaaaay out there, but we go with the flow around here. I figure 1 tsp. of Mountain Dew in the cookies won't cause too much trouble...and look at them...they turned out just fine....taste just fine too...we'll see what she adds the next time we're baking.
This packaging idea was created for Vintage Street Market using their Dimestore Vogue collection...you can read more about it HERE on the VSM blog. The light pink flower sprigs are new from Melissa Frances...they're irresistible.
Finally, my Creative Mint project based on Leslie's photo below...
I used an old sewing pattern and cut out the little girl and Simplicity heading. The paper is from Echo Park, Papertrey Ink, sticker from K&Co. trim from Prima, flowers from The Little Pink Studio, transfer from Melissa Frances, and scrunched seam binding from My Craft Spot.
Time to run....we're making Picky Palate's Walking Tacos tonight...should be fun!
Night.

OMG the Mountain Dew made me laugh! I made Chocolate Chip cookies yesterday...no Mountain Dew. The packaging of your cookies was absolutely beautiful. Mine ended up in a freezer bag. I'm sure the M.D. helped the recipe!

Both projects are so sweet!!The best recipes often have a secret ingredient that makes them special, so Mountain Dew may be it! I know my husband would love them as his favorite drink is Mountain Dew.

Mountain Dew!! I love that special ingredient. You are a great Mommy!

Your creations are beautiful as usual. What wisdom dear Melissa...to allow your little treasure the creative license in her baking. Their free little spirits so full of imagination are to often squashed by our rigid ideas!
