GIFTING :: TWINE-WRAPPED CHERRY RIPE

Apparently Cherry Ripe is one of those 'only in Australia' flavours. An Australian friend living here in Canada has been missing home and was craving some of the deliciousness that is a Cherry Ripe bar.
I decided to make her some when we visited her last month and packaged it up just to entice her a little more!
I based my recipe on this one, but substituted the base for a biscuit crumb base as I couldn't for the life of me find chocolate puff pastry here. While it wasn't the real deal, it still hit the spot!

I gifted it by cutting it into bars, placing inside a glassine bag, tied with jute string, & finished with a swing tag.

P.S. I'm still operating at half speed at the moment, so thanks for the understanding on my sporadic posting. It's been the biggest transition in history, but we'll be moving into our own place in two weeks...can. not. wait!

SHOP NEWS :: ANTIQUE FLORAL STATIONERY

I'm really excited for this new collection of party stationery I've just added to my shop. You might remember seeing it in action on these DIY gift bags.

The standard of what I put in my shop has to pass the "would I use it myself?" bench mark, and this Antique Floral design passes with flying colors! I think they're perfect for a birthday, kitchen tea, bridal or baby shower... I'm looking forward to seeing what events you use these designs for!
I originally designed this for a friend in Australia as a parting gift, so that her next birthday without me physically there would still have a little bit of me in it.
I printed all the items out and put together a party pack for her. (Anything packaged in a box looks more appealing to me!)
Have you ever sent a friend a party in a box for a celebration of some kind? Graduation, shower, birthday, anniversary...wouldnt it be fun to open that box and know someone was thinking of you? Its something I'd really like to make more time and do more often!

 Find this new collection for you or a friend in the shop!
