Ahhhemmmmm---I'd like to say, Paisley's and Poppies shop had it's very first, real review!! One of my favorite blogs to read, Tales of Two Girls, did a review on the personalized alphabet letters that are in the etsy shop. 

Go read about these 2 sweet, little ladies who recieved the letters here.  I'm just so excited to see that they loved them!

Look Whooo

Paisleys and Poppies has been hard at work!! No new recipes lately but def some new crafts! Here are some brand new items that have been made with my new theme-owls!

I noticed owls are very popular these days for baby shower and even nurserys.  I think they are super adorable and can be done for a boy or girl.

You can find all of these items for purchase on my etsy site.

Snips&Snails & PuppyDog Tails...thats what little boys are made of!

Excited to post about my own childs party!!! My little guy is in love with dogs and so I thought it would be a little unique to do the theme, Snips & Snails & Puppy Dog Tails for his 1st Birthday!  My first project was to get things together for his 1 yr photo shoot.  Here are some of the props I was able to put together:

Then came the actual party! I def wanted to make it fun and cheery since it was a first birthday so I used all the bright greens and blues I could find! I think it was a success!





Gift/Picture table



Lazy cake cookies

Eggs & Melted Butter

Cookie Dough

These have to be the easiest cookies! They are true to their name when they say "lazy" cake cookies.  Another 20 minute dessert that everyone will love!  Chances are, you will already have all the ingredients in your pantry.  You will need:

Preheat oven to 350

2 Eggs

5 Tablespoons butter

1 white or yellow cake mix

1 bag of chocolate chips

Simple melt the butter and add your 2 eggs.  Whisk together; add cake mix and chocolate chips. Mix together like normal cookies.  (Now the recipe I was following said to put them in a 9x13 pan and bake them into like a cookie bar.  This did NOT work well for me; the batter was much gummier and much more sticky than regular cookies or cake so "spreading the dough in pan" was not as easy as it sounds.  I quickly nixed that plan)  I spooned them onto a cookie sheet and stuck them in the oven.  They need to be spread out just like regular cookies, as they don't seem to rise as much as I thought they might.  Bake them a little under 20 minutes and you will have yourself some REALLY soft and yummy cookies! Everyone will want to know your secret.  Even my husband wanted to know how I got them so "fluffy and soft".  Enjoy!
