I’ve made the oreo truffles before… but dipped ‘em in white chocolate !!! Very good!

That earring holder is the coolest thing! I can’t wait to make one for myself and if it turns out well, I’ll be making those for gifts for birthdays and next Christmas. Would be great with a pair or two of earrings for the recipient!

thanks so much for the shout out about my truffles ;-) Glad you liked them!

Thanks for mentioning my photo gifts!! How exciting! They are a lot of fun to make, too.

I do something similar to the photo blocks- but I make coasters with photos. I get the plain cheapo tiles at Lowe’s, craft glue some photos on them and scrapbook something fancy (usually names and dates) then spray seal the whole thing. On the back I either glue felt or corkboard so that the tiles don’t scratch table tops. Super easy and super cheap!

A client brought in some of those Oreo truffles – they were sooo good! They were gone the same afternoon!
