Oreo Pops

11/30/2011

So I spent some time in the kitchen over the weekend - I know, I know - unusual.  But I saw these Oreo Pops on Mrs. Fox's Sweets' blog, and Christina tends to say, "It's easy!"  Christina, I love you, but you and I are going to need to exchange words about the definition of "easy".  For my attempt, ...

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!
