Baking Gals Care Package!

Recently, my friend Brittany ran across the Baking Gals website, and we are putting together a care package to combine with some other contributors.  Have you heard of what they do?  It’s a collaborative effort that sends baked goodies to deployed soldiers to remind them of home.  



We are putting our efforts together and our team leader has given us a shipping address and contact person to ship to.  As you know… I am not great in the kitchen, LOL.  But I have a pile of 3 dozen Oreo Pops ready to pack up:


And I also picked up some word game and sudoku books and decks of cards:



Yes, I realize some of those are kids’ games.  It may prove to be an error in judgement on my part, but I figured, if *I* would play, then it’s not too juvenile… I hope.  



It may not look like much, but that’s why I wanted to mention it.  A few of us locally are each putting together a few things.  But added together and shipped within the same week, we hope it adds up to a big display of appreciation.  The group effort can really brighten a lot of soldiers’ days!


Last I heard, there was still time to get in on this round, if you hurry!  (You are already baking up a storm for Christmas, right?)  Brittany and I are shipping by Friday… but even if you sit this round out, there are teams sending shipments every month, so you can contribute any time!

Hello, and welcome! I'm Adrianne, an artist, author, designer, and blogger in mid Michigan. I work from home, chase my two kids, and this once-city-girl is learning how to care for chickens and adjusting to life out in the country. I have a compulsion for daily creativity... sometimes it's jewelry-making, paper crafting, metal stamping, mixing and baking, or giving new life to recycled items. But with 2 young kids, time is short! My goal here at Happy Hour Projects is to share projects and tips that you can do in an hour or less. The ideas you find here are designed to add a little creativity in your day, no matter how much (or how little) time you have!
