Cake pops

 I know that cake pops are nothing out of the ordinary, but I just felt like making a post of food. At first, I tried to make "Starbucks'" cake pop kit, and I really didn't like them. So I just made them by my self. ( -which is not that hard to do!!!)

 Cake crumbles-

 I melted the frosting so that it would be easy to mix in.

 When it's all mixed in, it is still "cake-like" but when you form them into balls they stick together. Perfection.

 I am all about using what I have on hand. So...since I didn't have sticks, I used straws cut in half instead. Works.

 I used this pan thing to hold them up while they dry.

 Not only did I do Chocolate, white chocolate, and butterscotch. I also made up a fresh strawberry glaze to dip them in, and then I froze them. (soooo good!)

 And, of course, I have to have fun with taking photos of them! Enjoy...and please tell me what you think!

 -A flower.

Have a wonderful day.

Interesting bus art-

 My Grandpa sent me some more photos. ( I love it!!! )  This time it was bus art. I must say...I never even knew that bizarre things like this existed! Tell me what you think. :)

 -Runs on batteries. -oh ya.

 -This is one of the creepiest ones e.v.e.r! I would never want to ride in this thing.

 -thought that was funny.

 -This is one actually scares me. That is so weird!!!

 -I like to think that the hand is Levi. *grins*

 -This one is so-very-cool. Very creative.

Well, I hope you enjoyed these interesting photos! Which one was your favorite?

For laughter...

:)

Hello all. It was a beautiful day today, wasn't it?
My Grandparents send me quite spectacular photography every once and a while that they've been sent by friends, etc. Just thought I'd share them. :)
You should seriously check them out!

Sunday fellowship

Sundays bring me many joys. One of which, is fellowship.
My family and I had the joy of hosting the Berkompas family this last Sunday. We had a marvelous time going on a walk, inspecting bones, shooting guns, and playing pool. Thanks be to the Lord for friends!

 We still had leftover Starbucks in the truck from work, so we took 'em out, I drew faces on them, and we shot them.
(Lame faces, I know. I was actually drawing them while I was walking past the swampy field. )

 I named this one "Gloria" from in Madagascar two.

 -A small miniature target for the boys to get. ;p

 And this one I named...never mind.

 A prego box. ...Yes, we definitely shoot in style.

 Pool- I think Caitlin and Zachary were the champs at this game.

Well, that ended the day! Praise be to the Lord for fellowship. :)

Crafts.

Now, I am not a very good at crafting. At. All. I just love to experiment with different things I have in the house, to create something "some what" cute. I tried doing that today. One of my ideas didn't work in the least bit. I tried to make cookie dough, and place it around a muffin pan turned upside down, then bake it...to make a cookie cup to fill with ice cream. It didn't work out very well. Problem number one- I put way too much dough on each cup, and two-they were too close together. I'll bet I could eventually make this work, but just don't feel like it right now. :)
The things that did turn out, aren't edible. *sniff* But, I think that they would be kind of cute if I had- cuter fabric, buttons, frames, punch outs, and flower making skills. Since I didn't, I just made do with what I had. :) I hope you enjoy them...and, don't hesitate to give me suggestions!


Did you know that glass is practically a dry erase board? (you probably did. I'm just kinda slow at knowing things like this.)
While I was helping kids do their schoolwork, I simply cut out a simple piece of paper, and stuck it in an old frame my Grandpa bought years ago. Now, like I said above, these are not the colors or frame I would originally pick out if I went shopping for them. It's just what I had on hand at the time. :)

I have made them into a Menu planner for this week. (since I'm on making dinners.)
And, don't worry, I have a better plan for dinners, I just wrote whatever down to give you and idea. *smiles*

 It erases SO wonderfully!
I put stripes down for the paper, so that it would be all organized and strait. ;)

 Next project-
Jewelry organizer.
 I saw an earring, and it gave me and idea. I spied a button, and it made me think. I saw a board, and I started to work.
I could have made this thing FAR cuter, but for now...it's cute enough. :) I simply got a plain 'ol board, and wrapped and hot glued fabric to it. (BTW, hot glue is by far the best thing in the world! Where would I be without hot glue? ...ummm, gooey.)
After that was accomplished, I stacked pennies and hot glued them together. Then, I hot glued them to the board, and added flowers and buttons on top. (red flower was home-made.) Gluing the ribbon was next. I had to add dots here and there in the middle, just so that it wouldn't sag when you stick your earring on there. After this, I cut out birds from scrap fabric, and glued them on there, as well as the punch outs. All that was left was the strap...and anybody knows how to add a strap to something like this. *smile*

 *lol* Pennies...they work for many more things than sitting in a change jar!

 Earrings are my one weakness. Seriously.

 There it is! I have to say, it looks much better when it is actually holding jewelry. Which is a good thing, right?

Well, that's all for now folks. I have many more ideas that I would love to try out sometime, as well. When I do, I'll make a post. :)
