This past weekend I had an amazing time at Yummy and Delicious in Arizona with the Fun Stampers Journey family. It was the first stop of the 6 city tour and I was fortunate enough to attend with friends. I wanted to really have some fun photos to share for my scrapbook layouts so I decided to dress up a wooden “&” symbol to use as a prop for my photos. I also thought I would incorporate the “&” sign into my Yummy & Delicious ensemble.
Since I was inspired by Richard’s monogram letter YouTube video, I decided to use that inspiration for my Yummy & Delicious ensemble. I used my Spring Blooms die cut to decorate and layer the & sign for Richard and friends to hold at the Yummy & Delicious event. My friend Rachael was able to attend with me and we decided to have her husband make us some Yummy & Delicious shirts. 
My friend Rachael dressed as “Delicious”, while I was dressed as “Yummy”. The Spring Blooms I die cut, covered the “&” sign which served as the perfect prop to take a picture with Richard at the event. Our outfits and prop were such a hit that we even won the photo contest for the event. I received a set of Yummy & Delicious pins which I gave to my friend Rachael for attending the event with me. I also purchased a set of pins for myself. I have to keep my Fun Stampers Journey pin collection going.
We made four yummy and delicious projects and learned lots of new techniques that didn’t require any special tools. The projects presented were so much fun and I cannot wait until the full reveal of new products in our June catalog at the first annual Fun Stampers Journey convention.
Below, I included a picture of 2 of the projects we made at Yummy & Delicious. I’ll be posting more photos from my Yummy & Delicious day on my blog later this week.

I wanted to make these baskets for my twin nephews Jeremiah and Jacob, they are 2 and half years old. They absolutely love chocolate and candy treats and they love when I make them hand made gifts. It makes me happy to see the smiles on their face and get a heartfelt thank you for my hand made gifts. 
I asked my sister to take some pictures of my nephews with their lovely baskets I made. My sister loves taking photos of my nephews in her studio but they apparently were a little impatient and really wanted to open their candy. Jeremiah was not happy having to wait before he could grab his basket. Here’s an adorable picture of his mini-meltdown. The boys just loved their baskets and searching inside them for their treats. Looks like Jacob got to the candy and has a mouthful!
