DIY Ice Cream Bookmark

 

Materials :
1. Colored paper – Beige for the cone, other colors for the icecream
2. Glue stick
3. Scissors
4. Pencil
5. Markers
6. Paper punch

1. Cut your beige paper into a square. We used a 8×8 inch square.
2. Fold the paper in half to form a rectangle and then a further half to form a square.
3. There are many different tutorials out there that show you how to make a corner bookmark, but what we love to do is to stick the middle and one pocket.
4. Keep one pocket empty. Let dry.
5. Once its dry, fold one edge inwards to form a half triangle.
6. Use a marker to outline the folded triangle to resemble an actual icecream cone.
7. Draw an icecream scoop template on a white paper. Make sure the lower edge of the template is longer than the diagonal of the square.
8. We used a paper punch and lots of colorful papers to make some rainbow sprinkles. We cut a red circle on top to act as the cherry.
9. Stick the icecream scoop onto cone ensuring only the edge of the ice-cream scoop is glued.
10. Your icecream book mark is ready.

 

Death of an Ice Cream Scooper

Apparently, the mouthwatering new ice cream flavors on the menu in coastal Bar Harbor, Maine, are really just to die for . . .
 
Food and cocktails columnist Hayley Powell doesn’t know what to believe when Lydia Partridge, the put-together owner of gourmet Bar Harbor Ice Cream, suddenly reveals fears that her husband may be having an affair. There’s no other way to explain why Jamie, a respected professor, was spotted in a remote part of town with a much younger woman. But instead of learning the truth about the secret meeting, Lydia opens her freezer truck to find another surprise—the dead body of a summer employee . . .
 
The shock continues as photographic evidence proves Jamie was spending time off campus with the victim, one of his students. Now, Lydia desperately needs Hayley to discover if Jamie really is a cheater—and, worse, a ruthless killer. With her own complicated family issues to address, can Hayley make sense of a popular college girl’s love life and out the true culprit before the case, or another person, goes cold?
 
Includes delectable recipes from Hayley’s kitchen!

Book Review: 

DEATH OF AN ICE CREAM SCOOPER is the fifteenth book in the Hayley Powell Mysteries by Lee Hollis. With humorous repartee, memorable characters—both human and animal alike, and a fast-moving plot, it’s no wonder this has been an enduring and endearing series. Just when I thought this series couldn’t get any better, the brother-sister author duo strikes again and has hit this newest release out of the ballpark
