Favorite Finds Friday

  


It's time to gather some of the great posts, ideas, inspiration and crafty goodies I have come across lately.  I am going to be writing up a few of these "Favorite Finds Friday's" ahead of time so even if I fall sick my posts can be scheduled to go live without interruption.  I think I have said that before LOL (BTW I did check and I said it in December).  I know…even I can't believe I spent time checking that out either. 

I have a WIP  (this abbreviation means Work In Progress in case you were wondering) that I am going to share with you next week, but it included making some cards.  I came across this card on Pinterest.  I followed it to the original article and loved it so much I thought I would share it with you. 



This card was made by Jayla from Megastampinstudio.com .  This site still has all its content but has moved to a new domain in 2011 and can now be found Here @ Two Paper Divas  I absolutely love this idea and cannot wait to create a few myself for some of my loved ones.  Jayla gives you a quick few tips on how she made this card. 

Surfing around or in my email, I found this awesome recycling idea that has tons of inspiration bursting from it.  I am hoping that I can make something similar for our back yard this year.



Yesterday while catching up on my blog reading I came across this adorably cute ground-hog stuffy to make from Mollie over at Wild Olive.  It's a simple tutorial and has minimal supplies needed.  Your little ones will adore the cute eyes/expression and it’s a good way to tell the story of ground-hog day.  This cutie is even nice enough to put out for décor in a corner somewhere.  At least I think so.  I love unique conversation starter props.



Myra over at MyBlessedLife posted this amazing looking cookie recipe, and I am making some of these this weekend.  G is skeptical as he is unsure how salt and peanut butter together will taste like.
Me personally?  I don’t really care what it's made out of as long as I like it lol.  Don't get me wrong, I am a pretty picky person.  But I am not often very experimental when it comes to new food.



I think I would like to challenge this about myself this year.  Perhaps I should make one new food a month and try it .. I might just find another family favorite and I will have gently come out of my 'box' to improve Me.  That can't be a bad thing lol

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you enjoy a couple of my finds this week.  If you find something you like, please let me know in the comments.  I also would love it if you sent me some posts you found fascinating this week.  You just might get a mention and link back to your site or blog or page.

Best Gluten Free Christmas Cookies



I must admit that this article started out with just your best of Christmas cookies till I found a gluten free one and this idea blossomed.  I do feel bad that a lot of the time those with Celiac end up missing out on holidays and goodies due to their very limited diet.  To bring a bit of holiday spirit to those suffering this holiday I bring you the following post.

We found out this year that one of G's kids has Celiac disease.  If you have never heard of this or don’t really understand what this disease entails I will leave a few links below for you to check out.


Normally my plan each year is to make Christmas cookies to give the kids each year but my health has always stood in the way.  This year since I am feeling much better, I would love to make cookies but time and the holiday uproar may make this impossible.

So I am going to make a small recipe book for her with some of the best gluten free Christmas cookies recipes.  Below are some of the more traditional cookie recipes I found.


 1. Molasses Spice Cookies - Recipe from Celiac.com



2. Lofthouse Style Sugar Cookies - Recipe from LynnsKitchenAdventures.com


3. Snickerdoodles - Recipe from BettyCrocker.com


4. Cinnamon & Brown Sugar Icebox Shortbread - Cookitallergyfree.com


5. Gingersnaps - Recipe from Gutenfreegoddess.blogspot.ca


6. Coconut Macaroons - Recipes from Theprimalist.com


7,  Chocolate Snowballs - Recipe From Themommybowl.com


8.  Peanut Butter and Jelly - Recipe From elanaspantry.com


9.  Chocolate Crinkles - Recipe from heythattastesgood.com


10.  Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies - Recipe from glutenfreeonashoestring.com



Do you know someone with Celiac?  Remember that a lot of people these days have dietary restrictions.  I hope that this round up will help you to include them this holiday.  If you try any of these recipes I would love to hear how they went and your critiques.
