Paper Piecings By Nikki B-Monthly Blog Hop

Welcome to Paper Piecings By Nikki's Bi-Monthly Blog Hop!  This time our Design Team Members are using Nikki's Campin' Crazy file.  This file is so much fun!

If you arrived from Liz's Blog, you've come in from the right place.  If you'd like to start at the beginning, you can start at Nikki's Blog.

I decided to make a caddy and use the Smore file!

I know what you are thinking.  Why do I have cookies in with a smores kit!?  My house every Sunday in the summer do smores but in a different way.


We take cookies instead of graham crackers and put it together with marshmallows and chocolate.  Assemble the smore and wrap individually in aluminum foil and put on the grill for a couple of minutes.  They are super yummy!
