Yummy Turkey Pops
(1)
These Turkey Pops created by Bakerella look sooo good! When I came across these I had to follow the link to find out what they were made of and thank God there isn’t anything from a Thanksgiving dinner in them! They seem pretty simple to make too, all you need to do is follow the recipe by Bakerella for cake pops and then follow her tutorial. The ingredients you’ll need to decorate your cake pop are, candy corn, coated espresso beans, mini candy heards, pretzels and a small orange candy for the beak. I’m sure these will be the hit of your Thanksgiving party!

DIY Camera Strap Cover

I just got a new Nikon DSLR camera recently and although I really like how it says Nikon on the strap, it makes me feel like a pro, it would be cool to change it up a little bit. I came arcoss this really neat camera strap slip cover tutorial on the Made By Petchy blog. All you need is some fabric, paper, pen and scissors. I think I may have to try this.
