Is it just me or is everybody having babies these days! Since all of these babies are so special to me I have been wanting to make quilts for them! Also what better way to practice my quilting skills then to make baby quilts. First you can use super fun colors and patterns. Second, they are small! Since I am still new to quilting, smaller quilts = less time and I like the sound of that!</div>
<br />
For this friend of mine I decided to try my hand at a triangle quilt! The quilts look super modern, and if you use the correct "pattern" they can look like it was just a random pattern.<br />
<br />
I started with designing my quilt in power point and labeling my pieces.<br />

<br />
Picking out the fabric was fun! I wanted some bold colors for this quilt. So I went with grey, blues and greens. I choose orange for the binding. (Going back to my color wheel days, the quilt had more blues so I wanted to use the contrasting color for some more pop!) For the backing I wanted the quilt to be a little more baby-ish so I went with some dinosaur print fabric.<br />

<br />
Next was time for cutting. I bought a handy triangle ruler <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001685NN4/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_img?_encoding=UTF8&colid=4ZDVEDXT7J2N&coliid=I2VGG20E5AJQZI">from amazon</a> and cut away. I stacked everything and started sewing. I followed this how to from <a href="http://seekatesew.com/modern-ombre-bw-triangle-quilt-tutorial-pattern/">"See Kate Sew".</a> It was pretty simple to follow and gave me good results.<br />

Actually 1.5 years to be exact but who's counting... I've wanted to get back into blogging for a while now but with a full time job and wanting to sit on the couch everyday after work i've kinda convinced myself to put it off.<br />
<br />
But no more!! My goal is to do at least one post every 2 weeks. I really don't think it should be that hard.<br />
<br />
So hear we go! What have I been up to in the last 1.5 years?<br />
<br />
1. Home Fixing - David and I bought our first house October 2014, and it has been an adventure! Since we bought the house we have done the following:<br />
<ul>
<li>Removed a tree that fell in our neighbors pool less than 48 hours of owning the house.</li>
<li>Replaced all underground plumbing.</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLN8ogIKV_8vKYLvFVGn6yFvIqvSwKyxpIdpG3soSXp0RN0C89b6nGA_j3qgNZalRas41YEVbV1Flxnj986BJxBpNrHohwMaDi5Q5ILZi17TMV4cg0iQ0nFMoaHvRCJfWiQ3rU5RHK8-E/s1600/IMG_2768.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLN8ogIKV_8vKYLvFVGn6yFvIqvSwKyxpIdpG3soSXp0RN0C89b6nGA_j3qgNZalRas41YEVbV1Flxnj986BJxBpNrHohwMaDi5Q5ILZi17TMV4cg0iQ0nFMoaHvRCJfWiQ3rU5RHK8-E/s1600/IMG_2768.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li>Replaced both the AC unit and furnace.</li>
<li>Created a pass through between our kitchen and dining room.</li>
<li>Re-sodded our entire backyard after fixing the plumbing destroyed it. </li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li>Various small updates that make the house more modern like painting, and replacing gold fixtures with brushed nickel. </li>
</ul>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
2. Work - If you don't know I work as a Project Engineer/Cost Analyst for Turner Construction in Houston.<br />
<br />
3. Traveling - David and I have been very fortunate to be able to take some fun trips. In June we went to Wisconsin to visit family. In July we went to Hawaii for my best friends wedding. And most recently we went to Nashville for Valentines.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
4. And finally Baking! (My absolute favorite thing to do!). I've made cupcakes, cookies, cake balls, cakes, and pies. I started a baking fund at work, so now my husband doesn't have to complain about who is paying for my habit.<br />

My sister-in-law, Sara, and her boyfriend, Joe, recently got engaged during a trip to Europe. On their first morning in Barcelona he suggested that they go take a run to the beach. As they were dipping their toes in the Mediterranean Sea he bent down on one knee and proposed to her. They are a wonderful couple and I couldn't be happier for the two of them.<br />
<br />
As soon as I heard they were engaged I wanted to help throw them a party! As Sara and Joe were runners, and they got engaged while running, what better theme could there be than a Marathon Themed Engagement Party. The two of them were a little hesitant at first but we promised them that we would make it work. <br />
<br />
Our first hurtle was the invite (and yes I am trying to use as much sports lingo as possible). Since the wedding day is our finish line, we decided on making the engagement party the starting line. After a few iterations we decided on this: <br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Next was the decorations. I asked the couple to send me dates that were important to their relationship. When they first met, when they started dating, their first races together, etc. I then made racing bibs in their wedding colors that said what the dates meant to them. <br />

We also set up a photo booth were people could write signs that gave words of encouragement to the couple. My favorites were "Plan like you love each other" and "Only 287 days to go"<br />

<br />
As many of you have seen on pinterest, etsy and everywhere else on the web, wedding hangers are the new thing. Bride and bridesmaids love to take pictures of there dresses hanging on hanger that has their new last name on it. Well of course I had to be one of those brides too! <br />
<br />
I started on Etsy, but with the price of hangers starting at $15 and going up I knew that would be too much of an expense for myself and 5 bridesmaids. That would be over $90 just for hangers!!!<br />
<br />
Next, I moved to Pinterest to learn how to make them myself. Unfortunately when I made the hangers for the wedding I didn't document me making them. (That was a busy time in my life...) I went through some trials and errors but they came out beautiful in the end. I packaged them up with my bridesmaid gifts and the girls loved them. Plus they made and adorable picture.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNRe2XI-KZLV6irV92vcBw7BNFAYN9S-ILa9hVwP1SW-D3OTwEBjrJ2x3llq23bfjX9yyG_XF9ORzW2MO4Vu5wmku1SFhN1be9fWUCWUZVb8g5z-B5MNSGnlTY6aRNZ1EG87qwSjRLRGE/s1600/RobynDavidWedding+%252811%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNRe2XI-KZLV6irV92vcBw7BNFAYN9S-ILa9hVwP1SW-D3OTwEBjrJ2x3llq23bfjX9yyG_XF9ORzW2MO4Vu5wmku1SFhN1be9fWUCWUZVb8g5z-B5MNSGnlTY6aRNZ1EG87qwSjRLRGE/s400/RobynDavidWedding+%252811%2529.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
So, when I got a bridal shower invitation the other day I knew i had to make her a hanger, and document it to!<br />
<br />
Without further ado. Here is the tutorial:<br />
<br />
<u>Supplies:</u><br />
Wooden Hanger with slits (The wedding dress is really heavy! It will slip off without it.) Pack of 5 for $8.99 at Bed Bath and Beyond<br />
12 gauge wire (found in the jewelry isle at craft stores) $5 to $10 depending on how much you buy<br />
Computer + Printer, Or Good Handwriting<br />
Needle nose pliers<br />
Drill<br />
Super Glue<br />
Painters tape - optional <br />
Pens, Highlighters - optional <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6u_QRFmtnwJwAiortcTGcOuTaS4NuLHcLx2sP9pohShTmAt9qzV1VHFYYtzSkhN5nNCL3fH8CdNhRBXGDzELXFRoe6EMu8jApMEg_IWNp9cHsLFhRhF160fn9B2uVoly5OpqApY_RHQE/s1600/hanger+%25285%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6u_QRFmtnwJwAiortcTGcOuTaS4NuLHcLx2sP9pohShTmAt9qzV1VHFYYtzSkhN5nNCL3fH8CdNhRBXGDzELXFRoe6EMu8jApMEg_IWNp9cHsLFhRhF160fn9B2uVoly5OpqApY_RHQE/s400/hanger+%25285%2529.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<u>Step 1 - Make a stencil</u><br />
If you have beautiful handwriting (which I don't) draw a straight line the length of a hanger. Write out the name in cursive how you want it to look. If you are not sure how some letters should be desgined, search on Etsy to see how they made the letters.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you don't have beautiful handwriting, find a cursive font online, type your name and print it out. I settled <a href="http://www.dafont.com/search.php?q=Clementine+Sketch">Clementine Sketch from dafont.com</a>. You can download it for free. I like that this font is "hollow" so you can move your wire inside the letters.</span><br />

<u><span style="font-family: Times,Times New Roman,serif;">Step 2 - Bend Wire </span></u><span style="font-family: Times,Times New Roman,serif;"></span><br />
Once I had my stencil I could start bending. My first few attempts were pretty awful. But once you get a hang of it, it becomes a little easier. Use the stencil to get the general shape of the letters, and feel free to get creative. I made the "dot" after Mrs a heart.<br />

<br />
Tips while Bending:<br />
1. If your needle nose pliers has grooves it will imprint on the wire. Use painters tape to cover the grooves.<br />
2. Start with about 3-5 inches un-touched. If your name comes out shorter or longer than you wanted it to, you will still be able to center it on the hanger.<br />
3. For round letters use pens or highlighters to bend the wire around. This will give it a smooth look.<br />
<br />

<br />
<u>Step 3 - Attach to Hanger. </u><br />
Using a pen measure about one inch from the bottom of the hanger and make a dot. Repeat on both sides. This will usure that when you drill the hole the wire name will be level.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2RSvRbwgbQ-iUV9UeazSdvHwB7UeDbCmat43VGGPf4hBmxGXyvlhw5VfoDLInAqpOd2-Ed-ZJgf66_gsbpeYCX-1qDHd6FIEWIqPn7KozZ4r0faTSjrsg2hGKjKZnJxITEAhiA2GJRy4/s1600/photo+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2RSvRbwgbQ-iUV9UeazSdvHwB7UeDbCmat43VGGPf4hBmxGXyvlhw5VfoDLInAqpOd2-Ed-ZJgf66_gsbpeYCX-1qDHd6FIEWIqPn7KozZ4r0faTSjrsg2hGKjKZnJxITEAhiA2GJRy4/s400/photo+2.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Using a drill with a small drill bit, drill a hole at a 45 degree angle to the hanger. You want the name to be able to slip in at a straigt line.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ0_TbabsrVCGr7sYM_h2nN4YM3cKWbYppfvvM8LfOqDDkHRaGxF0dqw_bLnRgNMUtudsLn4a5eltaMJ4-Mqj8VhG-9TUw2tOfrtSzdp6MaTYgGDwSZQuAv5OOvG61VK8Y9MaTMRMSw7g/s1600/hanger+%25288%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ0_TbabsrVCGr7sYM_h2nN4YM3cKWbYppfvvM8LfOqDDkHRaGxF0dqw_bLnRgNMUtudsLn4a5eltaMJ4-Mqj8VhG-9TUw2tOfrtSzdp6MaTYgGDwSZQuAv5OOvG61VK8Y9MaTMRMSw7g/s400/hanger+%25288%2529.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Once the holes are drilled, use a scrap piece of wire to "test" the holes. You don't want to mess with the wire name to much. If the wire fits you are good, of not drill the hole a littler bigger.<br />
<br />
Next lay the wire name ceter on the hanger and cut the extra ends of.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTkNlCYFelwNbkRbO3D187C96WebwQvCXPQ1gpOKBw7Hzxopjh6G_VctN7dJ-IQ25sKjQrfK7XoABIjkmM6pJpgxxMi5YRWEC3spv_NrCEDrWQHFECrOLwshAdHnK06gjGcnAo_AlVFi0/s1600/photo+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTkNlCYFelwNbkRbO3D187C96WebwQvCXPQ1gpOKBw7Hzxopjh6G_VctN7dJ-IQ25sKjQrfK7XoABIjkmM6pJpgxxMi5YRWEC3spv_NrCEDrWQHFECrOLwshAdHnK06gjGcnAo_AlVFi0/s400/photo+1.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Insert both sides of the wire name into the hanger and viola!! you have a beautiful hanger! If the name is a little loose add a small dab of super glue into the holes. That will keep the name from tipping over.<br />
<br />
<u>Step 4 - Admire</u><br />
See how simple that was! Now if you want, you can add bows or ribbon to the hanger to add a little extra touch.<br />

What a wonderful life 60 years together can hold! This past weekend I got to celebrate David's grandparents 60th wedding anniversary! Can you imagine 60 years? The two of them have so much love for each other it amazing.<br />
<br />
When I got asked to make the cake for them I knew I had to make something as special as them!
Since the 60th anniversary is the diamond anniversary I wanted to make the cake in white and silver, since diamonds were a little expensive to put on a cake.<br />
<br />
I made a vanilla cake with cream cheese butter cream. The cake is covered in white fondant. Sorry I didn't take any pictures up to this point. <br />
<br />

My first attempt at quilting fondant. I used a fondant impression mat to make the quilt pattern. It didn't show up very well so I went over it with a straight knife.<br />
<br />

<br />
Next I placed the gum-paste flowers my friend Lauren and I made. That was a process and unfortunately I did not take any pictures. I think i watched about 10 you tube videos on how to make them. I think there is still powdered sugar on my phone from that day! <br />

<br />
Adding the silver pearl sprinkles to the cake. I used a small amount of butter cream icing as the glue to keep them from falling off.<br />

<br />
The finished product! I made the cake topper out of cardboard and glitter. I cut the numbers out of the cardboard and then attached toothpicks to they would stand. I then covered the numbers in Elmer's glue (but I guess you could use mod-podge). I sprinkled glitter over the glue them let them dry. I then applied two more coats of glue so the glitter wouldn't fall into the cake.<br />

We got about 95% of our thank yous out the door before the 1 month mark! I think that is really impressive. Those last ones were delayed by missing address or not knowing who the gift was from.<br />
<br />
When I started looking at thank you notes I really wanted to get some printed that had pictures of the wedding, but after looking online, we really didn't want to pay that cost. So we made our own! <br />

I found blank packs of folded cards at hobby lobby, a thank you stamp and some ink. We already had the Texas stamp with a heart. It was our wedding logo and we used it on various things at the wedding.We also included a 3x4 picture of us from the wedding.<br />

With 40% off coupons from hobby lobby and the printed photos I think we spent $20 on 75 thank you cards (not including postage). That's alot better than the $0.50 to $1.00 per card we had seen online! Plus the cards really reflected our wedding, and from what we heard from friends and relatives, everybody loved them!<br />

When David and I walked into our reception hall for the first time there was this long bar about 12 ft long. The venue had suggested that we put hors d'oeuvres on the table, but we were not sold on that idea. We had talked before about putting pictures from our parents and grandparents weddings somewhere at the reception, but the place was just so long.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Instantly we both had the same idea! Why not put pictures of ALL of our families weddings!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
So we made a list of all the grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, cousins and siblings and realized we had 28 couples that we wanted to display! We contacted all of our family, and asked them to send us pictures from their wedding day. It took us a while to finally get everyone's picutres, but we did it!<br />
<br />
Next, we collected old frames from our parents, and then supplied the rest of the frames from the dollar store. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After removing the glass and the stands, we spray painted the frames in our wedding colors. Shipley even tried to help! </div>

We printed out pictures from walgreens, I kept looking for sale's online so we got them pretty cheap. Also, so nobody would be mad at why their picture was bigger than the others, this was the system we used:</div>

Finally, I printed the names on card stock, cut them out with a paper punch and attached the name tags to the frames so everybody at the reception would know who the people were.</div>

Honestly, it was my favorite decoration at the wedding! So many people kept commenting on how much fun it was to look at all the wedding pictures. It was also a nice way to show our family how much we look up to them, and how we want our marriage to be as happy as theirs.</div>

<br />
When David and I were planning our wedding we agreed that we wanted to make it really personal. We decided that one of the best ways to do that was to share pictures of us together over the past years of dating.We had seen a project like this similar to online once, so we decided to jump on it and make it our own!<br />
<br />
I was also really lucky, we had some old fence boards, eyelets, and ribbon laying around so this
whole project cost me $7, and for a budget bride I couldn't be happier!<br />
<br />
You could also use this at any event! Birthday parties, graduations,
anniversary, or just a fun way to display pictures around the house!<br />
<br />
Here is what you need:<br />
sandpaper <br />
wood<br />
saw<br />
metal braces<br />
eyelet screws<br />
ribbon<br />
clothespins<br />
photos <br />
<br />
Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of making of (sorry....), but here is how you make it!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPoJrFK1rJDWW-HaLQofKLbfHleEHCYL8R_Uzma_7aURSDNS0GM6dZ6oNZ_OSudI2j-y3g0SjW7EzhnZqFXWPoxzfVVcSB6_LmK44sVGrtfQ2KjDLC6o2SCz65WtAQpgNm0lORGC_py20/s1600/photo+1%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPoJrFK1rJDWW-HaLQofKLbfHleEHCYL8R_Uzma_7aURSDNS0GM6dZ6oNZ_OSudI2j-y3g0SjW7EzhnZqFXWPoxzfVVcSB6_LmK44sVGrtfQ2KjDLC6o2SCz65WtAQpgNm0lORGC_py20/s400/photo+1%25282%2529.JPG" width="285" /></a></div>
<br />
First cut the wood boards into the lengths you want and then sand the edges till they are nice and smooth. Lay out the boards on a flat surface in the shape you want, and then attach the boards together using a metal plate or brace. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijQK8JkQFjWC-dsXU7lVBKzp-2VWZO_gqYu-aSH-t3nWqFY7RmNEXfpe1aJ8h027YCkqKT9pkkwOWniiFwV14NxDOnYyc8Oq1issLiMRDPRMUpzL_4FywxlcV-s78MDzYaWDqHBa4OS7c/s1600/photo+3%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijQK8JkQFjWC-dsXU7lVBKzp-2VWZO_gqYu-aSH-t3nWqFY7RmNEXfpe1aJ8h027YCkqKT9pkkwOWniiFwV14NxDOnYyc8Oq1issLiMRDPRMUpzL_4FywxlcV-s78MDzYaWDqHBa4OS7c/s400/photo+3%25282%2529.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Once you have your frame created now its time to attach the eyelets. Using a ruler or tape measure mark the locations of where you want them. I wanted to hang 4x6 pictures so I spaced the eyelets 7 inches apart. Then screw the eyelets in on the spot you marked.<br />
<br />
Finally attach your favorite and your done! <br />
<br />

When I was at the craft store the other day with my husband I stumbled across a small double frame. I thought it was adorable and would look awfully cute with some rings hanging in it. So I made my husband buy me the frame, and immediately went home to start working on the project. <br />
<br />
I had some eyelet hooks at the house but no hooks. I took my handy needle nose pliers and made my own! With a quick snip I had the hooks I needed.<br />
<br />

<br />
I then cut out some scrap book paper to fit in the openings. I choose orange and blue as those were our wedding colors, and why not have a small reminder! I taped the paper to the back of the frame.<br />
<br />
Next was the easy part! I marked on the paper where I wanted the hooks and then started rotating the hooks until they were in "deep" enough. Once the hooks were in their spots. I put the back into the frame and that was it!<br />

Super easy right? We have the ring holder on our shelf in the kitchen so anytime we are cooking or washing dishes I can hang my ring with out worrying about loosing it! There is also a spot for my husband's ring so he has no excuses to help with the dishes!<br />

Meet Shipley!! Shipley is our 2 yr old pup who we adopted from Citizens for Animal Protection on 10/17/12. She is 37 lbs and a mix of some sorts. It has been a new experience for the two of us, both bad and good. She has escaped out of our yard multiple times, tore up one of our doors in our house, escaped out of her kennel and has gotten sick multiple times. But, even with all that she has quickly gained a place in out hearts.<br />
<br />
Her is a little bit about the dog that we love so much:<br />

Eeek! Mice! That is usually what is said when mice are around! But, not with these chocolate cherry mice. Usually its more like: "Awww they are soo cute" or "How did you make those."<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
My sister and I have been making these chocolate candy mice since I was in high school. I am not really sure where she got the idea, but we have been making them every Christmas since them. Even though we make them as Christmas mice, they would work well at any party or even Halloween<br />
<br />
I still can't get over how cute these chocolate candy mice are. They are really easy to make, and they always get rave reviews. They are fun to eat and taste oh so delicious.<br />
<br />
The ingredients are simple; maraschino cherries with stems (body and tail), chocolate bark (body and glue), Hershey kisses (head), shaved almonds (ears) and white icing (eyes).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgohUcjSBDQ4v2Blu_eOnLIEGPeaavQR6vUlp2VHCuuNSsyIO1Ed8US-g9fZgbC_Ri2zJYoSw7_wvR_FRoh8CG7s17g8VyMSZXKMYz9b7E6Sue1laABHGfpYOpLqxeOgYhnpnEFkQ2hJo8/s1600/Choco+Mice+%25281%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgohUcjSBDQ4v2Blu_eOnLIEGPeaavQR6vUlp2VHCuuNSsyIO1Ed8US-g9fZgbC_Ri2zJYoSw7_wvR_FRoh8CG7s17g8VyMSZXKMYz9b7E6Sue1laABHGfpYOpLqxeOgYhnpnEFkQ2hJo8/s400/Choco+Mice+%25281%2529.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The first thing you have to do is rinse your cherries with water, and dry with a paper towel. Your chocolate will become lumpy and hard if it gets water in it. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgORSoewFRmp_Gc35wat7G8PbgXOZmxFUC1NekKp-FuE7q_XUraWnM3sIY2t49rT6M_58hrP3Sgc9fxkf7mRoP9Ij_-WvSHSL437COutw_Y5bbRNSDOOOfb8tuM03UPCurLvISqE_GdppA/s1600/Choco+Mice+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgORSoewFRmp_Gc35wat7G8PbgXOZmxFUC1NekKp-FuE7q_XUraWnM3sIY2t49rT6M_58hrP3Sgc9fxkf7mRoP9Ij_-WvSHSL437COutw_Y5bbRNSDOOOfb8tuM03UPCurLvISqE_GdppA/s400/Choco+Mice+%25282%2529.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Next, I find it easiest to make an assembly line to create the mice. I unwrap all the Hershey kisses, and make stacks of shaved almonds. That way your chocolate won't harden why you are trying to put the mice together.<br />

Finally, melt your chocolate and start assembling the mice. Dip the cherries in chocolate and place on parchment/wax paper. Attach a Hershey kiss as the head, attach two shaved almonds as ears, and pipe two eyes on with icing. Let dry.<br />

Have you ever made something that instantly became one of your go-to recipes? Well ! have and these baked creamy chicken taquitos are one of them! I stumbled across them a few months back from <a href="http://penniesonaplatter.com/">Pennies on a Platter</a> and I instantly fell in love. They have the perfect combination of crunchy, creamy and spice. Don't worry they don't have too much spice so you could easily serve them to little kids, or even add more kick for those crazy people out there who like to have their mouths on fire.<br />
<br />
They are super easy to make and the best part? They are baked! So they are a little healthier than the restaurant version.I hope you enjoy these as much as I have!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
First you mix your spices, cream cheese and salsa together.</div>

<br />
The other day I got an e-mail from a co-work with the subject line "HELP!!". Very intrigued I opened the email and it was a request to make cupcakes for one of her friend's birthday's. I felt honored that she would reach out to me, but I also felt pressured that I had to make birthday cupcakes for someone I had never met. I knew that I had to make something creative, tasty, and birthday worthy.<br />
<br />
I know that for my birthday I always like cookie cakes. There is just something about a giant cookie that will put a smile on anybody face. So I went on a quest to find cookie cupcakes, and i stumbled across Beantown Baker's cookie dough cupcakes. I read her post and I knew this was what i wanted to make.A cupcake with cookie dough inside, who wouldn't want that for their birthday?!?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
So I went to the store, gathered all the ingredients and went to work. The process was easy. Make the cookie dough, roll into balls and freeze for an hour.<br />

Looking for
something that is super easy to make, but tastes just like its homemade? Well,
try this Strawberry Lemonade Layered Cake from <a href="http://easybaked.net/2011/06/19/strawberry-lemonade-layer-cake/">EasyBaked.net</a>. It super refreshing
and will make you think it’s still summer!<br />
<br />
This cake is just a strawberry boxed cake mix, but the icing is amazing!!For the icing all you do is mix, cream cheese, marshmallow creme, cool whip, and kool-aid mix. That's it! Its supper fluffy, and has the perfect lemonade twang. I can't wait to try other kool-aid flavors.<br />

The other day I was dropping my Little off at her mom's house and was getting ready to leave when her mom stops me and ask, "Do you have a homemade caesar salad dressing recipe?" With a disappointed voice I said "No I don't." "Well, then you need to take this with you!" she said, as she thrusted a piece of paper in my hands. She went onto to explain how she stumbled across this recipe a few years back, and how when anybody tries her salad they always ask for the recipe. She just happened to be whipping up a batch when I was there so I waited a few minutes till she was done so I could try this "famous" recipe.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Wow, was I impressed! It had the perfect consistency and the perfect "caesar-ness" to it that I have never found in an at home recipe. I couldn't wait to take the recipe home and try it my self. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
So with my fiance in tow, we took to the task. As we started getting all the ingredients out, our faces were not too impressed. Anchovies, dijon mustard, hot sauce... the list kept growing, but I had seen it being made before so we kept going.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
We threw everything but the oil into the blender like the directions told us too, and blended. Oh did it look disgusting at this point. I took some pictures, but honestly you don't want to see them.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Once all the ingredients were blended, we added the oil, and instantly it was like magic! It looked like ceasar dressing, smelled like ceasar dressing, and tasted like ceasar dressing!! </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
We tossed the dressing with lettuce, additional parmesan, croutons and chicken. It was just like ordering Chicken Caesar Salad in a resturant but better, because we made it our selves! </div>

Recently David and I moved into together. We found a really cute 3 bedroom, 2 bath rental house for a great price in a nice area of Houston. The best part about have 3 bedrooms, is that the third bedroom could be completely dedicated to an office/craft room! EEK! My very own space for crafting! I was so excited about that. <br />
<br />
I really wanted to add some color to the room, but since the house is a rental I had to figure out something besides painting the walls.While racking my brain for ideas and browsing craft rooms on pinterest, I stumbled across peg boards.<br />
<br />
What a great idea! You can spray paint them any color you want, and it also acts as decoration and a storage solution!<br />
<br />
<u>Supplies (from Home Depot)</u><br />
Peg Board - $8.17 (24in x 48in)<br />
Spray Paint - $3.87 (in Aqua)<br />
Peg Board Hooks - $7.48 (The package I bought also comes with the things necessary to mount the board)<br />
<br />
Total: $19.52 - You really can't beat that!!<br />
<br />

<br />
Once you have your supplies you are ready to get started!<br />
<br />
First find a large sheet or piece of card board to lay down so you don't have colored polka dots all over your lawn. I used a left over ikea box I saved for project's like these. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYoYKbI9NW0QmwXbjTmFa3rZ2RfyAvbOPPMdq0EG3fVseRXuUubGQ_IVuA7N3F0IxTj_qtb2HJIopU5Y_Wa_eiLfs4e88f65AU9Jjw9KFdNLY1mFXaQmaE1zMl3RPSS5y480iqs4-vR_M/s1600/PegBoard+%25281%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYoYKbI9NW0QmwXbjTmFa3rZ2RfyAvbOPPMdq0EG3fVseRXuUubGQ_IVuA7N3F0IxTj_qtb2HJIopU5Y_Wa_eiLfs4e88f65AU9Jjw9KFdNLY1mFXaQmaE1zMl3RPSS5y480iqs4-vR_M/s400/PegBoard+%25281%2529.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Now Spray Paint! I put on two coats of paint.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8M_KbuEi4Xp3QSX9TUIbKw-oPxXOCMapzBEbiCrRBMYDKNwZhrAgWCwRVsnBQiPBaru-0d2_7qh3kprOkehV51U5jzuzavxr35KFUJh5ljob-6sEeOOISBFrMtoDtFGr1jVQfjCgbpao/s1600/PegBoard+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8M_KbuEi4Xp3QSX9TUIbKw-oPxXOCMapzBEbiCrRBMYDKNwZhrAgWCwRVsnBQiPBaru-0d2_7qh3kprOkehV51U5jzuzavxr35KFUJh5ljob-6sEeOOISBFrMtoDtFGr1jVQfjCgbpao/s320/PegBoard+%25282%2529.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Next find an awesome fiance to help hang the peg board on the wall. Be sure to get the peg board on studs. You will be constantly adding weight to the peg board and you don't want it to fall on your head! <br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHk3yBJG13S9d5xu7tWJSt6TKwMOnKnocZQ_wjP9JHbEJsZbosmPOwLuIn-wMystMzSHno95dNffDvIb_jMFeSxb1dV92Vk20mkEsLUBncaz9OtajyBFvaVSIAqOr1ouGdhj2-KybODZU/s1600/PegBoard+%25283%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHk3yBJG13S9d5xu7tWJSt6TKwMOnKnocZQ_wjP9JHbEJsZbosmPOwLuIn-wMystMzSHno95dNffDvIb_jMFeSxb1dV92Vk20mkEsLUBncaz9OtajyBFvaVSIAqOr1ouGdhj2-KybODZU/s400/PegBoard+%25283%2529.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">He is soo excited!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Finally, ACCESSORIZE! I still need to figure out what else I want to hang on the board, but for right now its a great start!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
This past weekend David and I’s moms hosted us an engagement
party. It was going to be the first time our extend families had officially met,
and the first time any of the families had met our wedding party. With a RSVP
list of around 45 people I knew it would be hard to make sure every bridesmaid
and groomsmen met every family member so I had to figure out a way for them to
stand out. Thinking back to school/work events I decided on name tags! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
First I started at our local party store. I found buttons
that were for the bridesmaids, but there were none for the groomsman. Then I found
“write-on” ones but those looked crappy. So I thought why not make them myself?
I found some pretty blue and orange flowers and decided to go to town!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
Here’s how I made them:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
In PowerPoint I made the tags with a pretty font and printed
them out on white paper. I made tags for the bridesmaids/groomsman, parents of bride/groom, and one for my fiance and I. I made the fonts in alternating colors to distinguish which side of the wedding each person was on. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
I then cut the tags out and clued them onto colored card stock to add some stiffness/color.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>

It's summer time and the thing I love more than any thing else is ice cream. The only problem is that I'm planning a wedding and ice cream is not the healthiest option. But what is a healthy option? Bananas! What if you could have ice cream that was made with just bananas and nothing else? Well guess what? You can! All you need are bananas (plus some chocolate powder if you really want to). <br />

<br />
First chop your bananas into small pieces.<br />

<br />
Next freeze your bananas for at least one hour.<br />
<br />

<br />
Add chocolate powder, and blend the bananas until fully mixed, (you can skip this step if you want).<br />

<br />
Freeze the bananas again until solid.<br />
<br />
Once the bananas are solid, scoop out and enjoy as you would ice cream.<br />
