I found another amazing blog. I have been stalking her since 2am. OK not every minute since then, but really you have to go and see for yourself at Ruffles and Stuff

Her name is Disney. really it is. But you will have to go to her site and read more. She is so stinkin cute! So is her little girl (model of all that's supper fabulous for children)

I came across her Ruffles (and up-cycled) T-Shirt Scarf and couldn't resist making my own. 

Go here  and see her darling scarf for her daughter.

Here is mine :)

 Here is my lil Katelyn using my scraps to make a head band.

 Look what a great job she did!!! She is a much better model than me!

Beautiful girl :)

Thanks Disney for the tutorial! Katelyn and I had a fun time :)

If/when I get permission, I will post a tutorial here for you all to see. I did a different bottom that I thought would be fun :)

Have a good night!

February Pictures!

It has been a very busy month. School prep has kept me too busy to blog :(

So here are a few shots of what we have been up to. Have a blessed Sunday!

I made this wall vignette and think it came out rather well. What do you think?

 And...I have been using my chalkboard a lot more!

I am so proud of Daniel!!! The character of the month was Caring/Considerate.

 The "Emily's" decided they would swim because the sun was out! Silly girls! It's cold!!

 Daniel got in too!

This is what my hubbie got me at the "Re-Store" I am sanding and using chalkboard paint on some and using my Silhouette on some others!

Here is Daniel frosting and putting sprinkles on his cupcake for his Valentines party

Katelyn went with a chocolate covered strawberry on top!

These are my little Katie Bug's! Oops, I mean Katelyn's. She doesn't like us calling her that anymore :(

 And here are my strawberries! Can you say YUMMY? I dipped some in just in chocolate, some in toasted coconut and then some in salty bacon. Oh my gosh! They were amazing!!! I think this is why my pants are getting tighter :)

That's it for now. I have been working on some other projects with my Super Fab Silhouette! I will try to share later.

Baby Shower Brags!

Oh how I have missed hanging out and blogging! I have been so busy since school started. I have two brand new books and a class I haven't taught in a long time. So...my time is not my own anymore :)
But I have a few minutes today so I thought I would share a cute rag tag blanket I made for a baby shower as well as some fun "cupcake clothes" I created with my super fab Silhouette.

 So...below are my first fun creations with my Silhouette. But as fun as they were, I am still totally obsessed with baking. I made chocolate cupcakes with a homemade buttercream and used m y new Wilton tips to pipe the swirled blue and white buttercream. Oh, they were sooo finger lickin' good!

LOOK what came in the mail the other day!

Ooh...but don't look at the mess behind me! 

         I am so happy-now if I can only find some time to whip up some projects!  

Thanks again to Jeannette at life rearranged for the fab giveaway!

Don't try this at home! (Weekend Adventures part 3)

So, if you have children old enough to watch iCarly, you know who Spencer is and what his specialty food is, right? For weeks my girls had been asking me to make something particular for dinner. Look at "Sunday's" meal below.

 Spaghetti-Tacos (yes, you read that right-Gross, with a capital G). So, I finally gave in on Sunday evening. I made a big bowl of spaghetti and fried up some taco shells.

 

 Doesn't that look good? (Um, not really my cup of tea)

 But Katelyn liked it...

And Emily liked it...

But Daniel and I stuck with plain old spaghetti.

Then my sweet girl even did the dishes (don't you just love her outfit?)

Here is a peek at our other adventure this weekend-exploring a friend's land in Clarks Valley.

 

 Can you see how the rock side sheered off? Very cool

 An unhappy little guy - his feet were wet :(

 But, a bubble bath makes it aaaalllllllll better!
