Yes, Jack & Ella get mostly store-bought cards, too, but I think the kids are so used to doing many things "differently" than their friends at school, that it doesn't phase them too much!<br /><br />Thanks, Mr. H -- I'm very blessed, indeed.fiona@fionacampbell.cahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09455351263890165906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5484860057974226820.post-62865033064319468412011-02-14T08:58:35.808-05:002011-02-14T08:58:35.808-05:00It looks like you have a very good team of helpers...It looks like you have a very good team of helpers there.:)Mr. H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04576034751522467377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5484860057974226820.post-34761407362161337252011-02-14T08:56:51.228-05:002011-02-14T08:56:51.228-05:00Those cards are beautiful!

I wish my kids were in Jack & Ella's classes - we did homemade cards last year and they came home upset since all the other kids had store bought cards with candy pre-attached to them, ugh! I was impressed however, that this year Finn was excited about making a special homemade card for his little "friend" Adelyn :)<br /><br />Cookies look delicious!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5484860057974226820.post-55754312632313222102011-02-13T20:08:13.876-05:002011-02-13T20:08:13.876-05:00Hi Mama Pea -- we have a lot of fun making the car...Hi Mama Pea -- we have a lot of fun making the cards. I guess they're simple in that they're just different kinds and colours of paper -- no ribbons/beads/sparkles/glitter glue, etc. You should see our Christmas cards!<br /><br />Meringue powder is simply dried egg whites, with some other stuff. It acts as a stabilizer for icing. I get mine at the bulk food store -- go figure!<br /><br />fiona@fionacampbell.cahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09455351263890165906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5484860057974226820.post-53986432667239061412011-02-13T19:54:34.390-05:002011-02-13T19:54:34.390-05:00Thanks for stopping by, Cary Ann!

I think my kids (and husband) get a kick out of the fact that they're unlike the usual treats I bake them -- the ones with whole grains/seeds/molasses, etc.! lol.fiona@fionacampbell.cahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09455351263890165906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5484860057974226820.post-89934796174265867402011-02-13T19:47:47.275-05:002011-02-13T19:47:47.275-05:00Golly, your homemade Valentine's Day cards loo...Golly, your homemade Valentine's Day cards look anything but simple -- how elegant! So great that you help the kids make their own rather than purchasing those awful commercial ones. :o\<br /><br />Have to ask -- in your royal icing recipe -- what is "meringue" sugar and what is "icing" sugar?<br /><br />Your decorated cookies are so much more professional looking than Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5484860057974226820.post-41990126931821425762011-02-13T19:44:06.871-05:002011-02-13T19:44:06.871-05:00Love the handmade cards and the cookies look delic...Love the handmade cards and the cookies look delicious!
