sharpie water based white fine tip marker
You can`t always find these, and they are not perfect cause they still clog sometimes
after you have used them for a while, but they are one of the best that I have found.
Christmas creations
I have had more fun with this new look that I have found. It started out as an experiment but now, I am finding myself looking for scraps of wood around the house to do another picture on. I had about 8 little square pieces of wood that I had actually gotten from Home Depot one day, in the garbage!! I am not above asking for trash if it is something that I can use.. So, I brought them home, did a few paintings on them last year then tucked the rest of them in a box for later.
Hot Chocolate bar
I have seen a few ideas of hot chocolate bars from Pinterest recently and decided that I wanted to have one in my den. I am a huge lover of all kinds of chocolate so this seemed appropriate for me to have to finish off my decor for the Christmas season. The quest was on to find the right glass containers! I found a few at Hobby Lobby and used a few that I had and came up with enough for my marshmallows, milk chocolate chips, white chocolate chips and candy canes.
Christmas in July, for real
My two friends, JoAnne and Lisa, and I have been on a marathon few day of creating. We all love to create and we all agree that it is much more fun to do it with friends. It is more than just working.... we talk, we encourage, we laugh, we plan, we eat, then we talk some more. It is a therapy session at its best form, and we even have the benefit of doing some projects.It is not really clear when exactly this project was planned.... it was sometime during our get together where we were having a jewelry making day! During the course of the day, we thought it would be fun to do some of these compound on wood pictures.
Peach Meringue Pie
When I was growing up, my grandmother would make THE best peach meringue pie. She would roll out her own crust, mix the filing, but.... the best part to look at would be that mile high meringue! It was at least 3 inches high! My Mother could make meringue equal to my grandmothers for sure. But that is where that talent stopped! It is not because I don`t try... but mine starts out pretty then by the time it goes in the oven to brown and sits out a minute, it starts crying and pops all the air out! The good news is that it still tastes good just not quite as pretty!I wanted to share her recipe and maybe if meringue beating is in your list of talents, you can whip up one of these peach pies that looks as good as hers did! Happy Cooking!!
Baby Johnson is on her way
I have been excited to be included in helping with a baby shower for Lisa. Many ideas have been found through pinterest! I have shared a few things that I was working on but now, we have the real things... the pictures from the shower. It was a fun night for all and the baby girl gifts that they got were so cute!! This will be one very loved little princess when she gets here!!
Pretty in Pink
You can tell that I am a bit partial to pink! As I was at a baby shower this weekend in Atlanta for little Brooke Starr, it reminded me of the pink shower we had at my house a while back. I dug into my pictures and found these. It was a great party, celebrating the upcoming birth of my son`s good friend`s first baby girl.
