More Sillhouette Shirts

I actually used the CRICUT on these...how amazing is that?
(I will need to get a new blade if I end up doing this more often)

Life as a Room Mom

probably not much different than life as a "not" room mom. But, I got to make a cool poster for our class both at the school carnival...and to make it...I had to get a CRICUT, so...life is good! I am not sure what to do with the cricut except for cut out letters and shapes...but just think of all the cutting I can do now!

A first attempt at a "petal-type" top

I have been wanting to try something like this for a long time. Crewcuts are the cutest clothes on the planet earth, and every once in awhile I like to try to imitate them in some small way.


I think it would be cuter with the same color shirt and petals..but I worked with what I found, and Ill keep searching for new colors of both.

F is For:

Fabric Flowers

Friends in a Frame

and Fondue!

(and family, face & FUN!) They also got to put make up on a printed face.

My Cute friend Emily gave me this recipe at Outerbanks one year...and now it is a favorite for book clubs, showers, and small dinner parties! YUM!

Did you know that rolls arent scary? Yes you have to think about them the night before, and then again 4 hours before...and you never want them to burn in the oven after all the work...but you know what. If I can make rolls, you can make rolls!
I use the junior league out of this world rolls or lately "feather overnight rolls" out of the mormon cookbook.

Please get your baking apron on and make these IMMEDIATELY! Pumpkin cupcakes with cream chees frosting and shaved milk chocolate. Im kind of in heaven. really, I want 12 more!

There were some other great dishes that I dont have pictured...but get started with these!

I know, I know...IZZE is the new cool drink for showers mostly because of the packaging probably. BUT amazingly, they really are SO good and pretty good for you, so what a WIN WIN!

Book Club favors...book marks

I thought it would be fun to make book marks for the book club meeting.

I used double sided cardstock so that they would be pretty on both sides.

I think they turned out cute...and I have been using mine! So much better than lying the book on it's front with pages open...or worse, folding corners!
