Yummy Oreo Cheesecakes

 These oreo cheesecakes are so simple and easy and everyone loves them.

Oreo Cheesecake Cookies
2-8oz Cream Cheese, softened
1/2 cup of sugar
2 eggs
Oreo Cookies

Start By Seperating the Oreos so that they look like this:


Then Place one half filling side up into cupcake liner.

Beat the cream cheese, sugar, and eggs until fluffy. I then piped on top of each oreo about 2/3 of the way full. So that they look like this:
And bake them for 12- 15 minutes at 350 degrees. When you take them out place the other half of the oreo on top and chill immediatley. Before you serve them you will want to remove the cupcake liner.

Now what do you think about peanut butter filled cream cheese oreos? Another recipe for another post!

Origami Globes


Aren't these Origami Globes Lovely? They are so simple also. It took me literally 10 Minutes to make this one (please ignore the fact that this is the first time I have ever made one of these and mine is not as round, neat, or beautiful as the ones below) I found the tutorial on the Blog Hello Heather. She made hers from some scrapbooking paper for Valentines Day. I want to make some pink ones for my room!

I decided to make mine from the pages of an old atlas that is no longer in use (so it looks like a globe). The inspiration to make them from map paper came from Elizabeth Street on Etsy(while your there check out their beautiful headbands). I attempted to make origami globes like these (their called Kusmandus):
Set of 3 Origami Globes crafted from Vintage Atlas Paper Maps - Kusudama Origami Set
But I quickly found out that I do not have the patience and skill to make these:)
 Seriously- making 50 of those little segments does sound time consuming. So I guess I will have to be happy with mine... until I master the Kusmandu art!
