Chocolate Mocha Banana Muffins?! Yum!

I remember making cooking creations in the kitchen when I was little. I'm pretty sure I drove my mother crazy. Well, I'm going to say it might have been worth it, because I came up with an amazing creation this morning! 

Chocolate Mocha Banana Muffins!

Enjoy this recipe and let me know what you think!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 Cup Flour

1 Teaspoon Baking Powder

1 Teaspoon Baking Soda

1/2 Teaspoon Salt

1 Package Chocolate Pudding

2 Tablespoons Hot Chocolate Powder Mix

Owl Be Home For Christmas

I have definitely hopped on the owl band wagon! I thought of this idea on my drive home today and put it into action. It's super simple, hope you love it!

Supplies:

Scrapbook paper
Stencils
Permanent Marker
Mod Podge
Board, Canvas or Paper

• Cut the scrapbook paper in small squares
• Modge Podge the squares to your board, canvas or paper
• Stencil out "Owl Be Home For Christmas" with your permanent marker
• Mod Podge that piece of paper on top of your squares.
• Cut out your owl on solid color paper. I used the method of folding the paper in half so everything would be symmetrical
• Mod Podge your owl on the board, add some eyeballs and you're done!

I love my little owl!
