Muffins and Magnets

August 25, 2008 By Spoonful of Sugar - 35 Comments

This week, I have been busy making these cute little canvas magnets based on tutorial from How About Orange. You should check out her blog, she makes some cool stuff! Mum and I covered ours with scrapbooking paper (using Mod Podge of course)  instead of painting them.

I have also been baking for the school lunchboxes this week and made a batch of Choc Chip Muffins, using the recipe I found here. They turned out really well, are easy to make, and freeze well.

    I have never thought to cover canvas,s with patterned paper. They turned out so well and I love the colours you used. As for the muffins my kids would love some of them in their lunch box. Yummy.

    Sarah – your magnets look great! I’m so glad that you and your mom were able to find Mod Podge. Isn’t it wonderful! She told me that you guys had to go buy another bottle! lol! Well at least it’s been put to good use!. Thanks to you and your mom for the comments about my Mom’s b-day party.
