Sugar Crumb Crispy

Thu, 28 Feb 2013 14:00:00 GMT

From The Sweetes Pear website. Easy and sinful.

SUGAR CRUMB CRISPY

1/4 cup butter *make sure butter is cold*
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
dash of salt
1/2 cup flour
1 can Pillsbury Cresent Rolls

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
Cut in butter to sugars, cinnamon, and salt and flour to form crumbs.
On an ungreased cookie sheet, separate crescent roll dough into 8 triangles. Sprinkle crumbs on top.
Bake at 400 degrees F for 8-12 minutes.
After they were cooked and

cooled I cut them into smaller triangles but you can leave them big too!

GLAZE

1/2 cup powdered sugar *I like my glaze thicker, so if the glaze is too runny, just add more powdered sugar to get yours to the desired consistency.*
1 Tbsp. softened butter
1-1/4 tsp. vanilla
1 to 1-1/2 Tbsp. milk

Blend together and drizzle over Sugar Crumb Crispies

DIY West Elm Morocco Headboard

Wed, 21 Nov 2012 16:00:00 GMT

From karapaslydesigns.com

1. Paint the mats (spray paint works best).
2. Cut a piece of plywood the size you want your headboard to be. Remember to take the size of the mats into account as well. Two mats side by side make the perfect width for a queen size bed.
3. Paint or stain the plywood. If you want the piece to look more like the West Elm version, paint the plywood the same color as the wall so it looks as if there is no backing.
4. Attach your mats to the plywood. We used a finish nailer.
5. Trim out the piece to finish things off!
