Hospital Bag for New Baby

Hospital Bag for New Baby

I wanted to make something fun, creative and use full for my sister for her first baby. This sister just happens to be Joi on this blog. I was also trying to think of something that I really wanted when I had my baby. Joi is super stylish and I wanted her to go to the hospital in style. So, I put together a Hospital Bag. I first made a big Canvas Bag and filled it up with Slippers, Bathrobe, Burp Rags for the Baby and personalized Make-up and Bathroom Containers. It was a lot of fun to make for her in Pink and Black, if you haven't noticed is her favorite colors for Baby Scotlin.

Make-Up Container. Decorated with Ribbon, and Mod Podged with fun paper. I found this at Robert's crafts.

Bathroom Container. Also found at Robert's crafts.

Bag, made from Canvas and sewn personally for my sweet sister.

Cute black slippers.

Personalized Burp Rag.

Soft Pink Robe. Now she can be pampered at the Hospital.

XOXO-

Sugar Cookie Fruit Tarts

SUGAR COOKIE FRUIT TARTS

I got this idea from our sister, Heather. She made these for me for my 30th birthday party and I have been wanting to make them ever since. Not going to say how long ago that was. hehe

I can't remember where I got the recipe. I forgot to save the link from when I did a search.

Here's the recipe:

INGREDIENTS

Premade Sugar Cookies

Fruit

For the Cream

1 bar - cream cheese

1/2 cup - sour cream

2 tblsp - orange juice

1 tsp - vanilla

1/2 cup - powdered sugar

For the Glaze

1/2 cup - apricot preserve

1 tblsp - water

Slice up your fruit. I didn't end up using the Bananas because there wasn't enough room!

Bake your cookies, if you need to. If you got pre-made cookies, then lay them out on a cookie sheet, like I did below.

Let your cookies cool and arrange them on a cookie sheet.

Measure your ingredients for the cream. I thought it needed a little something so I added a 1/3 cup of heavy whipping cream. (not shown in picture)

Once it's mixed, the cream should be a little lumpy.

I scooped the cream into a plastic zip-lock bag so I could pipe it out onto the cookies. Just cut a small hole in one of the bag's corners.

They should look something like this when you're done.

Then start arranging your fruit!

Once all your fruit is arranged the way you want it, then mix the glaze. Stir it up until it's a little runny and then paint it on the fruit.

It should make everything look really shiny and gorgeous!

Now enjoy!!!
