I just cant get enough

I had a jam packed fun filled weekend. I met up with Jenny T and Tricia W. Even though it was only a few hours I had a really good time. Went to the mall shopped a bit.

Made some jokes at the poor sales persons expense.

Tried on a few hats.

Ate a Monte Cristo.

Bought a picnic basket at the thrift store for $4.00
(pics will be shown soon)

Laughed and said hella way to much.

Saturday spent the day doing a little creating and a whole lot of nothing. Hehe! Aren't those the best days? I think so. Here is a peek of what I made.
Used more of my 35lb box of fun. This was inspired by my cousin. I cant wait to show it off on NSD.

Sunday we went to a BBQ for one of my husbands old friends. She moved back and he hadn't seen her in at least 18 years. I have never met her before so I was a little worried as to how the day was going to be. A lot of his other old friends were going to be there, ones I have met. Thank goodness I made friends with one of these said old friends wife, Erika. She really made me feel at ease and made the day so fun. I enjoyed myself immensely and I think made a few more friends. That's always a good thing.I cant wait for the next get together/bbq.

Lastly I have some fun and inspiring things to share. New prompt is over at Simply Artistic.
Put a bird on it. I did. *side note~ my last card made it on the Lily bee blog.*

The Creative type has a new fun prompt up.


Inspiring you with their other languages. Ha!

So I know I told you my next cupcake would be a boston cream pie but I forgot about Cinco De Mayo. A little change of plans. We are going to celebrate this year and I am going to make Churro cupcakes. MMMMM! Hubby is going to make Tamales and I am thinking something else (cuz I am not a fan) & seven layer dip. Gotta get some fiesta-ness going on in this house. Hoping to have everything spring cleaned by then. Wish me luck.

Looking at this post I feel so blessed. I don't have everything I want or even need, but what I do have is an abundance of love. I have heard that that is all you need. Yes, blessed.

Like a diamond in the sky, how I wonder

Man being home all day long drains the life right out of you! Here I thought I would have much more energy to do the things that NEED to be done. Boy was I wrong. I don't even wanna get up off this couch. I think the couch has life draining powers. Ha! Here it is Friday and not one thing has gotten done. I too have noticed the week goes by so much faster. I mean this shouldn't be anything new I was a sahm for many years but I guess I just forgot. I did more when I worked. I must change that. Starting today.

Must mention the Royal Wedding. There I did. Honestly don't know what the hype is all about nor do I care. If I lived in England (and I myself am 1/4 British) maybe I would care more. I don't. My daughter said she thought it was neat to have a queen and wished we had one. I think it is neat as in fairytale neat but I like that we don't have to have the same person mucking up our government. I mean we have someone different to do that every 4 years or so lol! No but really you don't get to choose your king or queen. You are stuck. Maybe that is a good thing? Cant blame the voters for who they have...Hahaha oh well whatever.

New cupcakes made this weekend. Irish car bomb cupcakes. They are super moist. They are a huge hit for adults. I personally think they are ok. I can taste the alcohol and to me that is no bueno. It has baileys Irish cream in it and stout beer. I left out the whiskey.



The baileys is in the frosting and the ganache. It doesn't cook out. Not a whole lot for 24 cupcakes. You can sure taste it tho. If I was to make them for just me I would cut down the baileys (the recipe I had used 8 tbs hubby wanted me to use all 8 so I did). I HIGHLY recommend for adult parties. Like I said they are super moist and everyone has loved them so far.

My next cupcake adventure will be the Boston creme pie ones for Mothers day. I cant wait for those because I LOVE Boston creme pie. I hope they turn out delish.

On the crafty front I have managed to get one page done. It was for a GCD assignment. I will share a little peek with ya.I have been slacking on my 15 mins a day and my girl cave is FULL of spiders AGAIN! I went out there with my cousin the other day and we both got the creeps. I need to figure out a solution...Maybe tear it down and build new?! Hahaha gotta win that lottery first.

Oh I did play too. Didn't win of course. I will not give up. Off to buy 2 more tickets bahahahaha!

Oh what joy and what suprise

Sandy requested I do a video on the trees so look for that soon. My daughters birthday party was on saturday so I have not done much in crafting. Actually I have done a big fat NOTHING. I am hoping this week I will be more productive. It is not for lack of wanting to do some crafting but I guess I am lacking the get up and go.

Had my radiology final. Thought it was gonna be pretty easy but ended up being pretty hard. Got a B, not bad. I only have 3 more MODS left! I am excited and scared. PRO: I like only being gone for 4 hours a day. CON: don't like being broke! LOL!

I found this cool free app for my Iphone called INSTAGRAM. It is kind of like facebook in pictures. I really like it. Here are a few of those photos I have taken.






I have more Christmas decor to share. The living room is sorta messy. I did realize I have yet to take a pic of my living room as a whole but that is because I cant really arrange it like I want. I will do that soon.

I have some ornaments I will be (hopefully) making this weekend and sharing those how to's with you too.

Made some Blueberry muffins last weekend. They were so yummy. I cheated they were just a box but were still delish! hehehe!




Last but not least I have some flea market finds to share. I was very lucky a few weekends ago. I found some beautiful vintage Christmas decorations for hecka cheap. Talking pennies.



I got these for a hole .25 each! My heart fluttered when I found them. The pink one is my favorite.

I also picked up this enamelware roaster for 5 bucks!



I really needed a good roaster and this one does the trick. Love it.

I scored more but will share them soon. Now I am off to catch up on deadlines and what not. Happy holidays everyone!

♥♥♥

My fake plastic love

HAPPY FIRST DAY OF FALL!

Last weekend ended up making these freakin awesome cookies.


They are one of the BEST peanut butter cookies ever! Yum.



Went to see "Devil" Sunday with my hubby. I was really expecting it to be bad. I didn't want to waste the tickets on it really. I mean the preview looked really good but so many movies have disappointed me lately. I am so glad we did go. It was really good. Not my typical horror movie. I really enjoyed it tho. I don't like elevators and this elevator made me wanna hyperventilate lol! Oh and I will never get in a nbr 6 elevator again. Just FYI.

I started a new MOD last Monday. This mod is the longest and it is a lot of hands on lab work. I have learned how to do a Rubber Dam, Calcium Hydroxide cavity prep,& Toffelmeyer matrix band. All interesting but a little hard. Good challenge.

I finished some Halloween fun stuff.

(inspo found on google from rawbone etsy)

I have so much more to make. Many Ideas floating in my head.

Halloween coasters
Haunted houses
tree ornaments
Door hangings
and the list goes on and on...

Now I just need the time to make them.

Taught the girls how to "sew" this weekend. We made voodoo dolls. Very fun. They really had a good time creating. I was not feeling great at the time but they really wanted to learn. Here are our finished products.

(Ravens;left Mine;right)

My son's and my little girl want me to teach them now. It was hard enough teaching the 14 yr olds! LOL! I am not sure if I will be conquering that with the lil ones.



Think I am gonna have to find a different Halloween goodie to make with them.

Last but not least I think I will be making this sweet lil one soon. How cute is he or she!


I really love Halloween. I love fall. I am going to start decorating today. When do you start?
