{sprinkle tinting}

*

deer heart

my heart did skip a beat or two

 when I found out I could

tint my own sprinkles

{yes.....tint my own sprinkles.....happy dance x100} 

all you need are white cake sprinkles

{called Jimmies}

and powder food colours

put your white Jimmies in a glass jar

{I like using a glass jar so you can see the magic}

add some powder food colour

and shake

 more colour = an intenser shade

I am sooooo addicted

{kinda like my pom pom addiction you can revisit here and here}

my dear heart is very happy

about this marvelous discovery

{heard about it here first}

{xox} 

thank you for your San Francisco help in my last post

all your lovely spots are written down in my notebook

 I hope to visit many 

happy sprinkle colouring

I think sprinkles were invented

 just to make us all happy

these sweet little metallics are called dragees

I have never had so much fun as I have had working

on the last chapter of my book

Pure JOY

it's filled with sprinkles and other fun things

with

ooooodles of beautiful photos

{my book is so filled with photos that there is hardly any room left for the text}

 sprinkles are now all over my kitchen floor

did you know that those round sprinkles are very bouncy?

I think I will be picking them up for years to come

my find of the week was

 this sweet vintage coffee pot thingy

i love it

Are you smiling yet?

Just for today.....

When in doubt add another ornament

~happy pills~

my husband asked me if I had forgotten to take

my

"happy pills" 

the other day

when I was a tad bit grumpy/stressed

hmmmmmm

his comment made me realize that I had not

been around 

my jar of 

"happy baking sprinkles"

 for a while

and

 what I really needed was

a spoonful of these babies 

and a day of  

baking something 

PRETTY

to get my

happy back

sprinkles + pink dough = happy happy happy

now if it was always that easy

HUGS

 to you all for a great weekend

and

remember to take those 

"happy pills"
{hmmmm...you know what I mean}
