Caramel Apple Teacher Gifts and Kawaii

It's that time of year again! School starts on Friday for us which means I needed teacher gifts ! Both kids will be in school full time this year and my son has therapists as well so I needed quite a few. I found this fantastic recipe for Caramel Apple Dip wrapped up in a package which I thought was a perfect twist to just giving a teacher an apple. And let me tell you ... it's delicious! 

I decided I needed some tags for my packages.

I used my nestibilities and printed out a cute little saying I found on Pinterest. Then I made up a bunch of Kawaii Apples and attached them to the corners. Perfect!

Mix all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium-low to medium heat. Cook while whisking gently for 5 to 7 minutes, until thicker. Turn off heat. Serve warm or refrigerate until cold.

If sauce is thin, just continue cooking for a few more minutes.

Welcome Kawaii!!!!

I am so super excited to announce that I will be making Kawaii paper piecings and adding them to my ebay and website! What is Kawaii ?? Kawaii is the quality of cuteness in the context of Japanese culture. They are uber-cute images with little faces on them.

See?! How cute are those ? These that I made are all under 4" tall so they are perfect for scrapbook pages, cards, pocket pages, and even planners! All the patterns I used to create these cuties are from SVG Cutting Files. They are tons of images for Kawaii and more are added all the time .

Along with the Kawaii images as new listings to my ebay and website, I also listed some new titles.

Where have I been??

Hello Everyone! It's been two years since I made a blog post - yikes!!! I'm going to try and get back into it. Where have I been? Well..... working haha! My business - Paper Creations by Mindy, LLC - had taken off for me in ways that I couldn't even imagine. I'm a one-woman show running the business and also being a stay at home mom so between ebay, facebook, etsy and the website - I just couldn't keep up with blogging.

I'm going to try and change that. Starting with showing you where you can purchase my items.

All of my items are premade. I do not sell just the cuts (that would be against company policy).

I also have any license that is required to sell a premade item.

I sell on multiple sites but ebay and my website will be the most current. Etsy has some items but not a full variety. Here are the following links

Ebay - http://stores.ebay.com/papercreationsbymindy

Website - www.papercreationsbymindy.com

Etsy - https://www.etsy.com/shop/Mindyspapercreations?ref=hdr_shop_menu

Down Memory Lane - http://www.downmemorylncreations.com/category_57/Paper-Piecings.htm

If you've stuck around for the last two years and are seeing this post - Thank you! I'll try to better !
