The Pacifier

Yeah, The Pacifier was a lame movie. But, the pacifier for me is a life saver. Literally and figuratively....check it out.

Pacifier A: A life saver figuratively. Helps my monkey drift off to sleep. Mommy likes that.

Pacifier B: A life saver literally. It's a treat I made for my sister-in-law's baby shower on Saturday. It's made of peppermint Life Savers, different green and yellow Jelly Bellies (to match the theme of the shower of course!) and all held together with frosting. Definitely fun to make. And yummy too!

What do you think?  Has anyone else made these or planning on making these?

I saw a picture of a beaded bookmark and wanted one for my Bible. These things sell for like 20 or 30 dollars. I looked online for directions and tried my hand at it. I think it turned out rather well for a first attempt, and I'm planning on making more eventually as gifts. So, without further ado, here is the finished product....




Ta da!
