Stop! Cookies ‘n Cream Fudge. From Shugary Sweets. Recipe here. I almost didn’t post this because the photo doesn’t do justice to this fudge and people will scroll right past it! This fudge is wonderful but I also love white chocolate. I’ve made it several times and it disappears really quickly! So I think it’s safe to say my family likes it and it comes from a site that also feataures Cookie ‘n Cream Pretzel Fudge - so they know their stuff. Are we the only country on earth to have Marshmallow Fluff?
Ingredients
3 cup white chocolate morsels20 Oreo cookies, crushed
7 oz Marshmallow Fluff
14 oz can Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 tsp clear vanilla extract
Melt chocolate with milk and marshmallow cream. Stir continuously until smooth. Quickly stir in vanilla. Fold in crushed cookies. Pour in a foil lined 13x9 baking pan. Refrigerate 3 hours until firm. Cut into bite size pieces. Serve and enjoy. Store in refrigerator for best flavor!
Shhhhh… another secret…. well sort of. The Specialty Bottle Company. No minimum order. Wonder where crafty people got their lip balm containers, their cute tins with the slide tops, bottles - plastic and glass, and vials? Love this company and website. here.

How to transfer an ink jet image onto wood. Why is this different? You are using glue and mod podge instead of toxic chemicals like acetone. You are also using an ink jet printer, so no need to go to the copy store or use a laser printer. This is a great idea.
Citrasolv Fabric Transfer Tutorial here. Citrasolv is sold at Whole Foods and now lots of art stores. Not toxic like some of the transfers I’ve seen on tumblr recently. You can also make stunning art using pages from National Geographic. You can create collages, journal pages etc… It transfers images to many different image surfaces. Citrasolv has an amazing gallery of art done with citrasolv here.

Truebluemeandyou: I can see using this floral wire to make really outrageous jewelry in all shapes and sizes, and maybe the Deathly Hallows Symbol for Harry Potter fans for Halloween.
