Hello there and welcome to our second tutorial day here at Joli Paquet. I'm so happy to be finally creating something with a spring theme after this l-o-n-g drawn out winter we've been having. As I write this, Mr. & Mrs. Mallard duck are walking by our deck searching for a place to nest, so I know that spring will be here before we know it! Inspired by anything that reminds me of sunshine as well

Pennant banners are all the rage these days. You see them in party décor, scrap booking, gift cards, and paper crafts. I love them because they are an inexpensive way to make a big impact in an empty space and add the cutest details to small work. I also love that I get to use all of that scrap booking paper I have been hording.Supplies:PaperTemplateScissorsTapeRibbonTwineSewing

Hello! I hope you all had wonderful holidays and have settled in to 2010! I wanted to take a moment and let you know our plans for Joli Paquet. We will not be doing an official Valentine's event here, however you may see some small tutorials or recipes pop up from the gals. We had planned on doing a Valentine's Joli Paquet, but most of the girls on the team have lots of things going on right now

So sorry that this is two days late. We had some family stuff going on and it was just impossible to find the time to sit in front of the pc. We were lucky enough to have this same project featured in the January issue of Romantic Homes magazine...which is still on shelves now...page 16. We hope you can find the time to do it...if not now, be sure to save these instructions because these can work

Is it a cookie? Is it a candy? These yummy chocolate confections can be whatever you want them to be! This is one of my mother's recipes from long ago. Variation - if you make a indentation with the back of a spoon after you drop them onto the wax paper, they will look like a nest. Then add a few small jelly beans for "eggs." These are cute at Easter time too.xojeanneP.S. Jenny will be here

Hi everyone! I hope this finds you almost ready for Christmas. But just in case you are not quite ready, here is a quick and easy decorating solution.
