I'm so excited to share with all of you this wonderful new book by my friend Norene Cox over at Party Pinching. Have you been to her website and seen all the wonderful things she creates? With just a few simple ingredients she turns everyday treats into works of art. Her creative mind must work in overdrive all the time because the fun things in this book are just that, fun!
There are amazing things for almost every holiday you
can think of. The ones for Christmastime are especially fun!
I think my favorite is the little Santa made from rice cereal
treats but her hot cocoa cups are darling and a favorite of
Martha Stewart herself!! How cool is that? Here are a few
examples of Norene's wonderful creations.
I love these jolly little Santas!
And these Christmas trees!!
Look at these darling reindeer!
And hot cocoa cups? No wonder
Martha Stewart was impressed!
I hear these books are flying off the shelves so
make sure you get yours ASAP! Then you
can impress all your friends at all your parties!
