<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I took the Extra Large Marshmallows and took some food coloring with a little water to coat them I used yellow, purple and blue. After they dried I added the candy eyes. I found the royal icing is the best due to it acts like glue (a lot of ppl use it for gingerbread houses). After the eyes are harden onto the marshmallows I then put them in a clear plastic treat bag. </span></span><br />

<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I looked high and low for small white gum balls. I kept finding bags with multiple colors which then I would have to waste other colors. So I went with mini marshmallows that were cheaper. I took the tubes and placed mini marshmallows standing up to look like the dots in the tube. For the strips I took my paper cutter to cut the black strips that were the size of the tube. I took my hole punch to white card stock to make the dots the PacMan eat. I used my cricut to make small circles. I took my scissors to cut out the mouth, and took a sharpie to make the eye. I took a glue stick to place the white dots on the black strip. I then took the glue stick to glue on the PacMan. Once dry I took the glue gun to attach to the tube.</span></span></div>

powder sugar and cream of tartar in your mixer, just to make sure it is
incorporated in. Slowly add egg whites, then whip start of slow then go
to very high speed. She says around 2 minutes, my friend had an older
mixer so it took almost 10 minutes. You want stiff peaks that hold on
and won't fall off the spoon. Add in your flavor, I would suggest you
use a clear flavoring. This would be the glue texture great for ginger
bread houses etc.</span></span></span></span></span></div>

to very high speed. She says around 2 minutes, my friend had an older
mixer so it took almost 10 minutes. You want stiff peaks that hold on
and won't fall off the spoon. Add in your flavor, I would suggest you
use a clear flavoring. This would be the glue texture great for ginger
bread houses etc.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Bake the circle size you would like, I used a medium size circle cookie cutter. One the cookies were ready for decorating I took some yellow food gel coloring (I use AmeriColor). Using a piping bag you pipe the PacMan shape. I then took a piping bag of white to make the circle the PacMan eats. Caden got his design on and took my black edible pen to make the eyeball. Simple but fun!</span></span></span></span><br />

powder sugar and cream of tartar in your mixer, just to make sure it is
incorporated in. Slowly add egg whites, then whip start of slow then go
to very high speed. She says around 2 minutes, my friend had an older
mixer so it took almost 10 minutes. You want stiff peaks that hold on
and won't fall off the spoon. Add in your flavor, I would suggest you
use a clear flavoring. This would be the glue texture great for ginger
bread houses etc.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

I saw on Pinterest Ghost Me using hair spray .. I searched but that stuff is spendy. So Plan B came into play, Dollar Tree has Silly Spray so I changed it up.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Early I showed you the invites for my son's PacMan themed party. Today is the goody bags made. Now you've heard me several times say I hate goody bags, the party is usually crazy expensive and then you're expected to give guest a party gift. This is usually when we go to the dollar store toys and ton's of candy. So my thought is if I'm sending you home with hopefully something you will keep or eat right away so it's not thrown out.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">For the Ghost bags I took oval cut outs (5.5 inches) in purple, orange and Blue. I then took my scissors to make the bottom of the ghost. Instead of cutting out eyes, I used googley eyes because I think they are fun! I cut out small circles using the cricut (1 inch). I used glue sticks we had left over from school and glued it all onto the bag. This really didn't take very long. The longest part is cutting them from the cricut. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">For
the PacMan bags I took the circle cut outs (3.5 inches) and took my scissors
to make the mouth of PacMan. I cut out black circles for the eyes (1 Inch). I cut out small white circles using
the cricut (1 inch) for the dots. Again I used the glue sticks we had left over from school
and glued it all onto the bag. This really didn't take very long. The
longest part is cutting them from the cricut. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I showed you the plan invites I did for the classroom, here are the invites I made for my parents and me that I keep in the boys memory books. These took a bit to make but they turned out very cool!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I downloaded PacMan Font from <a href="http://www.dafont.com/pacfont.font">DaFont</a>,
this is my go to place for font's. I did a practice run using my cricut
to see where the circles and the ghost would be when I cut them out. This then showed
me where to put my font so when cut the words didn't get cut off. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Cricut - I used <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Cricut-29-0025-George-Cartridge/dp/B000W0MYAM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1497977071&sr=8-1&keywords=george+cricut">George Cartridge</a> to cut 3.5" circles, ovals</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Type
up in word the invitation wording you want. Using your cricut to cut
out a circles. I used a 3 inch for the yellow and 3.5inch for the black and a 1 inch for the eye. For the black strip I just used my cutting board to cut those out. For the Ghost I had to create my own design. I used a 5 inch Oval in blue and a 5.5 inch Oval in black. For the small circles I used a 2 and a 2.5 inch circles. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Take a pair of scissors to cut out the PacMan mouth and the Ghost bottom part. I used a glue stick to put this together. remember to put the strip in between the PacMan circles and the Ghost BEFORE you glue the backs on (the black). I forgot to do this and each time had to peel it back and stick it in which is hard once glued. I added a black dot for the PacMan eye and a googley eyes for the ghost. You can always cut out white and black circles but I loved this look better. Make sure so it can bend so the PacMan looks like it is eating the ghost. Play with the dots in the center before gluing down to make sure it closes right. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">My son is turning 10 in July and we always do his party early so it's close to the end of school year so his school friends can come. I usually do fancy invites for friends and family and simple ones for the school since I usually need almost 30 of them. These PacMan invites are so simple.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I downloaded PacMan Font from <a href="http://www.dafont.com/pacfont.font">DaFont</a>, this is my go to place for font's. I did a practice run using my cricut to see where the circles would be when I cut them out. This then showed me where to put my font so when cut the words didn't get cut off. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Cricut - I used <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Cricut-29-0025-George-Cartridge/dp/B000W0MYAM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1497977071&sr=8-1&keywords=george+cricut">George Cartridge</a> to cut 3.5" circles</span></span></div>

have some familiar faces and some new. This year I wanted to make some
fun cookies, I went with the patriotic color themed. </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Yesterday I showed the Flag Star Cookies. </span></span> Today are the patriotic lady bugs.

I started with making the head with a black triangle. I then added the red or blue (depending on what color I wanted). Before the Red dried I took a piping bag of white and made the dots for the back of the ladybug. I then made the eyes and the antenna's. For the eyes I made a small white dot and added a smaller black dot in the middle. The antenna's was a fancy looking V. Let them dry and you have some cute cookies!</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

powder sugar and cream of tartar in your mixer, just to make sure it is

mixer so it took almost 10 minutes. You want stiff peaks that hold on
and won't fall off the spoon. Add in your flavor, I would suggest you
use a clear flavoring. This would be the glue texture great for ginger
bread houses etc.</span></span></span></div>

and won't fall off the spoon. Add in your flavor, I would suggest you
use a clear flavoring. This would be the glue texture great for ginger
bread houses etc.</span></span></span></div>

use a clear flavoring. This would be the glue texture great for ginger
bread houses etc.</span></span></span></div>

powder sugar and cream of tartar in your mixer, just to make sure it is
incorporated in. Slowly add egg whites, then whip start of slow then go
to very high speed. She says around 2 minutes, my friend had an older
mixer so it took almost 10 minutes. You want stiff peaks that hold on
and won't fall off the spoon. Add in your flavor, I would suggest you
use a clear flavoring. This would be the glue texture great for ginger
bread houses etc.</span></span></span></span></span></div>

I then filled in with grey and smoothed out to fill in the elephants, BEFORE that dried I added the toes. I used small pearls on the feet to be the toes. I waited for them to dry to add the other details. I took a bag of pink to make the ears. When those finished I started on the last details. I added a tail, mouth, Eyes and details for the trunk. Since these were part of a cake delivery, I used as the toppers on cupcakes.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

powder sugar and cream of tartar in your mixer, just to make sure it is

to very high speed. She says around 2 minutes, my friend had an older
mixer so it took almost 10 minutes. You want stiff peaks that hold on
and won't fall off the spoon. Add in your flavor, I would suggest you
use a clear flavoring. This would be the glue texture great for ginger
bread houses etc.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A break from the cookies ... LOL! I just love giving a gift that you put effort into, I'm always on the hunt for something new or fun. I haven't done a 18th birthday in sometime, so I was excited when one of my favorite dance team members daughters had an upcoming birthday. I did a Google search and found a fun candy bouquet and added some fun things to it! Turning 18 comes with a few perks like gambling lol, why not start our youth off with some scratch tickets. And of course Starbucks gift cards ... LOL!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I started with placing the dum dums to make a bouquet. I stacked two foam rings to get the height I needed and arranged the dum dums to make the rounded look. I started with 3 bags thinking that would be enough and found that it didn't cover. I had to run back to the store and buy 2 more bags to fill. I took the paper butterflies hot glued a butterfingers in the middle to be the body. Then cut a pipe cleaner in half to make the antenna's and hot glued them on. I took a long lollipop stick and hot glued it on the back and stuck it into the bouquet. I found a happy birthday sign that I hot glued the number 18 on to it. I took the scratch tickets I bought an hot glued a small lollipop stick onto the back and stuck them into the bouquet also. I also picked up 2 Starbucks GC and did the same adding a small lollipop stick and stuck them in.</span></span><br />

powder sugar and cream of tartar in your mixer, just to make sure it is
incorporated in. Slowly add egg whites, then whip start of slow then go
to very high speed. She says around 2 minutes, my friend had an older
mixer so it took almost 10 minutes. You want stiff peaks that hold on
and won't fall off the spoon. Add in your flavor, I would suggest you
use a clear flavoring. This would be the glue texture great for ginger
bread houses etc.</span></span></span></div>

I individually wrapped them and sent them to CA to my husband. I have found that Alaska and California take 3 days instead of the 2 days that USPS priority mail usually takes.

Goody Bag Insides (Paintball Ammo themed candy etc)<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Yesterday I showed the goody bags (aka bags of teen approved things like candy and silly string). I of course had to have some themed things in the bag. I went on a Pinterest search and found several ideas for the candy. I then did google search for Ammo .png items (photos on a blank background easy to use with words etc). I had circle stickers I found at the Dollar Tree that I printed out and stuck on circles cut out on my cricut. </span></span></div>

I scaled back what I normally do. I did still do gift bags that I made for each kid. Filled with candy so that is a hit with any kid at any again.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">What you Need:</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">White Gift Bag (Dollar Tree 2pk for $1)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=target+png+file&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiPmOb33tHTAhUF12MKHZGLB3kQ_AUICigB&biw=1600&bih=741#tbm=isch&q=target+bullseye+png+file&imgrc=VFthWmUtEMpB5M:">Target</a> (I googled png and printed on white paper) Click link to see the one I used</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Glue (I used hot glue gun / You can use whatever is handy)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Colored Paint (Puff paint would be best / I only found colored hot glue)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Using your printer print out a Target and cut them down to place on the bags. I used a little hot glue to attach to the bags (you can use whatever girl you have on hand). I really wanted to use puff paint but I couldn't find so I used this glitter hot glue I found at Dollar Tree. I'm all about what you can find on a affordable side! Make fun splats on the bag on target and on the side. Have fun and do as many colors you want.</span></span><br />
