I'm dreaming of you tonight

Dreaming. Of winning the lottery. Gonna start playing. Should really go buy a ticket. Today. *wink*

This is on my list. My "when I win the lottery" list. Of course I would love it in Ice or pink but a smart designer once said "keep your appliances simple. Trends come and go faster than appliances break." Oh how I want the ice tho. IT would really SUCK to get ice and then a few years down the line my kitchen colors change and I am stuck with a $300 appliance that is just the wrong dang color. Yeah I will stick with white. It IS the smart thing to do. Hehehe!

I have been dreaming. Of my own business. You know the cupcake/scrapbook store. Or maybe the scrapbook/cupcake store. I have a name. Glitter & Sprinkles. Maybe Sprinkles & Glitter. Not sure what one sounds better yet. Need funds. That's where the lottery comes in. Hehehe! I even have a place picked out. It is for lease. Beautiful brick. Old. Just awesome.

One of the cupcakes I would sell is this one.

Frosted with creme cheese frosting (homemade all from scratch). I brought it to the easter potluck sunday. Everyone seemed to love them. I am going to make another batch to thank the girls at "work" for all their help. Oh the ease of making it with that lovely Kitchen Aid up there. Need one. *wink*

Next on my cupcake list is Boston Creme Pie cupcakes. I am making those for my mommy for Mother's day. I am super excited about those. They look so delish. They honestly are more like mini boston creme pies but hey we can call them cupcakes.

I really need to think of something FAB to buy and make my mom. I should be thinking of these things a lot sooner. At least I have no work right now. I have other things to do too. Like play with this box of goodies from GCD. 35lbs of lovelyness!
Isnt it lovely?!? Oh the beautifulness that is in that huge box. Assignments have been assigned. Need to get on that.

This week is super busy. Filled with lovely things. I am finished with extern so I need to go take care of that with school. My cousin is coming over tmw to scrap with me! Yay!!! I miss our little get togethers. Need to get this house in order today. Then Friday I am meeting with Jennifer Tucker, CP, Lisa Rainbow pants, Tricia, and Vernoica for a fun filled day of...well fun of course! They are all meeting up here and we are gonna paint the town pink and mint green. Hehehe! I cant wait!

We had a lovely easter. I have so many lovely pics to scrap now. A few of my favorties.

Just a few. The rest are on FB. We had such a good time.

Hubby and I are going to go to the movies tonight! 5.00 tuesday. My fav day.

So off I go. Things need to be started. Prepared. Done.

Let your words live on far beyond this life

Today I have a little Valentine DIY to share. I have been pinning my little heart out over at Pinterest and found a sweater with heart elbow patches. I also had been to the thrift store and remembered seeing a sweater that would be perfect for some heart elbow patches.

I decided this MUST be something I do. It couldn't be to hard right? Right.

First you need your sweater. Of course it could be any color any type any size. Mine was brand new from target but I only paid 4.00. Yes I am lucky to have a thrift store located right next to our target so they get ALL their clearance stuff and sell it dirt cheap.

Supplies you will need.
Red floss or bakers twine would be cute.
Red felt
needle
sweater
scissors

My 4.00 sweater and the red felt.




You need to figure out how big you want your hearts to be. I made mine to fit from seam to seam on the sweater. I also free handed my heart but you can find many heart templates on google.

You want to try on your sweater and pin the hearts where your elbows are. I was being lazy and didn't try it on. {My hearts are a little low but you are going to do it the right way...Don't be lazy like me lol!}

Now it is time to begin. Knot your thread and com up inside your sleeve.

Half way through I figured out how to sew it without coming in and out the sleeve. This way is much much easier. :)

Finish it off by knotting it underneath.

Viola! The perfect Valentines outfit or gift!

I also have a valentines day card tutorial over at AMM.
You can make that card if you go check it out. :)


I made this recipe for dinner. Yes it is a appetizer but it worked just as good for a main course. Throw a little green beans on the side and a roll and call it good. The whole family LOVED them. Simple to make. I highly recommend them.

Lastly I spent Superbowl Sunday with my crafty buddies Ginger and Diane. Had a great time.


{pressies the girls gave me.}

We laughed and did a little creating (pic of page FINISHED to come soon). Love those girls. I need to start having a girls day at least once a month. Who is with me?
