DIY Gold-leafed Greeting Cards
This project is a part of The Proper Pinwheel’s holiday series, Mission: Merry 2012. You did it. It’s Christmas Eve and you forgot to send out cards.

This project is a part of The Proper Pinwheel’s holiday series, Mission: Merry 2012. With Christmas less than one week away, it’s time to get crackin’ and get wrappin’.

One treat that [...]

Recipe: Peppermint Bark
This recipe is part of The Proper Pinwheel’s holiday series, Mission: Merry 2012. Confession: I hate peppermint. I only use it as a breath-freshener. I hate the combination of chocolate and mint. So Andes mints are obviously out. I never EVER eat peppermint bark, but I’m obsessed with it because it’s so pretty. I love [...]
