This Sunday Market we will have a different cookie concept! No prepacked boxes of cookies, but individually wrapped and heatsealed cookies you can pick yourself!

They will stay fresh even longer, and they are wrapped in foodsafe bags, closed wit a heatsealer, so they are air and watertight! If, like me, you need more proof... Yes, I tried. Hehehehehe.

Another photo frame

Another birthday, another photo frame! This one was made by the munchkin herself. And anyone can make one using Hama beads! My kids love them! So I had the munchkin make a frame, ironed it together and stuck a piece of cardboard to the back using a glue gun. With this supercute result!

Attach a small strip of cardboard to the back with ducttape, so the frame can stay upright.

How cool would these be with a magnet stuck at the back, and using them as fridge magnets! Or make one for fathers day, so he can hang it in his car!

Just use a square board for the beads, make four or five rows of beads in the color of your choice and iron them. Glue a photo to the cardboard, glue the cardboard to the frame (make sure you use the side you want to be the back) and attach a strip of cardboard. And voilà!

By the way, you can buy Hama beads at almost any toystore, and also at Ikea. Have fun!

Buggin'

Spring is in the air! Along with an infestation of ladybugs. There are worse things. Like an infestation with... Wel... Any other bug, really.

These are just the ladybugs that I could get in one frame!!! How awesome is that!!!

I'll make this one into a giveaway... The first person to get the correct number of ladybugs in all the pics in this post will win a box of ladybug cookies!!! Post your answer in the comments and I will sit back and let you do the countin'. Remember, it's about ALL the ladybugs in ALL the pics!

**A small change, just to make sure you won't just guess, there will be a winner chosen randomly among the people who had the right answer!**

They are pretty though.

The little man and his little stone bunny think so too.

Lego Photo Frame tutorial

By now you know that we are totally obsessed with legos. At least my husband is. So I made him a photo frame with his favorite toy.

If you want to make your own, it's really easy. This picture will show you all you need to know. I superglued the blocks together so it's easier to change the picture inside, the only loose part is the green sheet. You will need:

One large lego sheet for backing
Several smaller lego sheets as the bottom of your frame
Lego bricks
Superglue

Make a frame from the smaller lego sheets. Glue the bricks on top. Make sure that the bricks overlap the sheets one row in the center so your picture will slide neatly underneath the bricks. I do advise to build the frame without the glue first, so you know where the bricks should go!!! Glue a row of bricks at the back on the bottom side of your frame. These will make it easierfor the frame to stay upright. Cut a picture to size and put it in the frame. Place the large sheet and voila, you are ready to go!!!

This birthday season (six birthdays in two months) I am really into photo frames. You'll see more of these soon, all suitable for kids crafts!
