Owl Drops

Hi Blog Friends,

I decided our little Owl Gift Sack freebie in the last post needed some candy to go inside of it.  And I also decided you needed a few other sayings to go along with the projects. So here's what I came up with:

I have several recipes to share with you over the next couple of weeks or so, all yummy goodness. I'm wondering why I'm torturing myself, though... we're going to go visit our son (who recently returned from Iraq, yay!) in Hawaii soon and I've been trying to diet.  (Yup...still trying to work off the Chocolate Coconut Macadamia balls from the last trip, lol!).  So just so you know... you guys really are worth it!  

(Yep, that's Camille Roskelley's brand new fabric from the Bliss fabric line in the photo... I'm creating a little stuffed owl sewing pattern, I'll share it with you when I finish it.) 

The recipe is quick and easy, but I warn you.... very addicting!  You can click on the image below and the recipe will open as a pdf document, which you can print.  (In order to view a pdf document you need to have Adobe Reader installed on your computer.  If you don't have Reader, it's available as a free download on Adobe's website.  Here's the recipe:

The recipe is meant to fit in the Recipe Book project I featured on the blog awhile back. Here's what the book looks like:

If you're interested in making the project, you can click HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE for the posts that featured the book project tutorial, free patterns and recipe card.  For other recipes that fit inside the book click HERE, HERE and HERE.  I'll be adding many recipes between now and the holidays, so that you have a complete project you can hopefully use as a holiday gift. 

AND!  Here's the sheet of owl label cutouts you can use on the clear bag shown in the photo at the top of this post.  Just print the sheet on bright white card stock and cut out the images.  Layer with double sided foam mounting tape, then attach to the clear bag.  The clear bag will fit inside the printable gift sack, or you can use the clear bag of goodies separately as a quick and easy gift for someone special.


Same as above, the cutout file is a pdf.  You can click on it and it will open in a new window which you can print it from.

And speaking of Hawaii.... I'm still trying to decide whether or not to take Ted along again this time.... it was kind of hard to keep track of him at times last year, lol.  For his Hawaii escapades you can click HERE to see what I mean. What do you guys think... should I take him along?   Let me know!   hehehe.  :)

I'll be sharing some Owl Cookies with you in a few days, so be sure to check back!

Is anyone having trouble opening up the cutouts? Mine is just opening a blank page. Too cute to pass up!

I think you should leave Ted at home. He gets around enough and you need a vacation! He will do fine while you are gone. The receipe looks good. I make a candy with the same ingredients, just minus the nuts. We call them "Buckeye Balls". Will try them with the nuts, they sound really good. Now that you are posting these things, ideas run rampant through my head, but time never seems to be on my side. Too many good ideas. I think this owl gets cuter every time I look at it.

OH, I just checked your blog and found a brand new post. Worth staying up for! Wow, those look really good. You're the best, thank you again for the gift sack and now the candy recipe. I had forgotten about that recipe book, I'm going to make one for my sister for Christmas, so bring on the recipes. Love your stuff! Keep them coming!
