Christmas Photos 2010

This year we took our Christmas photos in Matt's project car. It was a lot of fun. The first day we ran out of light so we shot more photos another day. Good thing we did because the sky was on fire! The photos were taken by our friend, neighbor and super cool publisher of Traffic Magazine, Frankie Leal. I couldn't choose just one, so here is a sample of our 2010 photo shoot.

Merry Christmas from The Peters 

My very own tutorial!!!

This is the first tutorial I have posted that is absoultely 100% mine.

 I am soooo excited and hope the handful of people who follow me are too!

And if you are not officially a follower, please follow and make my day!

OK now for the tutorial:

Upcycled Oatmeal Canister becomes a perfect place to hold hair accessories.

All you need is an empty oatmeal container, an old sweater sleeve, and a glue gun.
Simple right?

I chose brown to match our animal print bathroom.

Cut the sleeve from one adult sweater and stretch the cut end over the canister top.

Then grab cut ends, twist, and cut about an inch from the canister

 (or have a lovely assistant like I did cut it for you).

Then add some glue to the bottom of the canister, twist again and pat onto hot glue.

Then I added a few more drops of glue here and there to secure.

Turn over and add glue along the rim of the canister top and

press your finished sweater sleeve edge onto the canister.

That's it! Now you can add all of your hair accessories to your creation. 

  

 My kiddos even put their mirror and hair dryer in here.

Let me know what you think and please share if you make your own.

Just like thin mints!

I made these totally scrumptious cookies today.

They taste just like Thin Mint Cookies!

They are SO EASY to make-Really!

I wish I could say I created them myself...but, I didn't.

To get the complete tutorial, head on over to The Picky Palate,

one of my fave blogs (really, my cooking/baking ideas would really suffer without her and some of the other fabulous blog-gals I follow).

I did it!!!

Well I finally got around to making my Christmas Subway Art and Yarn Ball Wreath.

What do you think?

I added some Braided ornaments as well. Just take three scraps of fabric.

Tie together with a knot on one end and then braid.

Then pin one end of the braid to the styrofoam ball or ornament and wrap around.

I finished mine off with a dot of hot glue.

Now for some Subway Art!

Potatoe Quesadilla

Yes, I know Potatoe Quesadilla does not sound real good.

But wait until you try it. YUM-O!

There's a local place that used to make these and I just love them. 

Wanna know how to make them?

 Here's what you will need. Oh yes, and whatever you use to make your mash potatoes.

I use butter, sour cream, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic salt or garlic ( or left over mashed potatoes).

They are SO Delicious! Enjoy!
