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.
