 [1] What could be a better dessert for summer?

This is a must try!

sayings for my own!

[3] I am a huge fan of clean and simple ideas for my living spaces.

Especially the kitchen, and this idea here is a great way to bring color in!

Good Food, Good Pottery.

So I'm on the last leg of my

spring break trip (that was over a month ago)

-whew!

We stayed local, in Statesboro, where

there is my favorite sub shop, Larry's,

and then we decided to hit up a pottery shop

and it was a blasty-blast!

This may look like 'just a sammich' to y'all, but

no. I dream about Larry's, it's that ridiculous.

And that would be my plate :)

A wonderful day, followed by a (not so 3D)

showing of The Lorax.

And that would be spring break 2012!

I'll try to tone it down with the pictures next time......



Us Wild and Crazy College Students.

I finally joined the crayon art club.

Thursday night, Erica and I went and did a dinner and a movie,

and decided to get some arts and crafts to do at home.

We lined up the crayons in the desired pattern and color scheme,

and them took a blow dryer to it....

Remember these? We got the stuff for friendship keychains too!

And poor Bizzy, see her cast? It doesn't keep her

from all the action though!

The possibilities are endless!

And then we ended the night by skyping with our third self, Courtney.

It was a great night! I am so lucky to have these girls in my life,

oh, and this post's title? Yeah, it was sarcasm.



The People that Make Christmas Great.

You can visit the post I did about

last years Christmas party, and now

I finally got around to bringing you this years.

Actually, I wasn't going to post anything at all

because I was chit-chatting and playing hostess too much to

realize, "Spandex Summer needs me!". Plus, I got

a phone call from my sister asking why I didn't post anything about it.

...lazy.

So I bring you the gist of what happened.

I had a Recipe swap/pajama Christmas party at my house,

and here are the recipe's I made:

I made cupcakes similar to these, except

I did red velvet.

I also made this incredible

Cinnamon Sugar Pull Apart Bread that

I'm pretty sure I've been yapping about for weeks now.

Oh, I also made this punch that was so good!

I'm not much of a punch person, but this is definitely worth a try!

Then after everyone tested the food and had a good

chat by the fire with some hot cocoa, we played a few games such as,

Who Am I?: Where a person gets a Christmas character and

describes who they are, whoever got the most right got a present.

The Naughty List: Each person went around and told the

naughtiest 'naughty list' story (clean!) and whoever had the naughtiest got a present.

Christmas trivia: obviously, it was Christmas trivia, and the most

with the right answers, yep, got a present.

I just had to share this. Binx made his appearance, in theme as always.
I think he looks like the Heat Miser in this one. Ha!

 

I hope everyone has a safe and blessed Christmas!

Some Christmas Fun.

This is actually from last year, but since

this blog was made earlier this year, I thought I'd share

with you my Christmas party of 2010.

Last year I decidecd to have a ornament decorating party

with friends and family. We had ugly Christmas sweaters, hot cocoa and a

lot of fun!

Basically for my party, I got a few boxes of medium and large

sized clear ornaments that have the removable top.

I picked up a few little items that would easily fit through the tops of the

ornaments, such as small decorative balls, glitter, fake cranberries and tree twigs,

fake snow, and ribbons.

I also got acryllic paint (because it dries faster) for marbeling effects, etc.

And of course helpful items like straws, glue, paint brushes, and since we were

working with really messy things I chose a plastic table cloth for easyeasyeasy cleanup.

And all in all, after food, drinks and all the decorations, I think I only spent

a little over 60 bucks.

Oh and the ugly christmas sweater? Well it was

like 100% wool and incredibly itchy! So I had to put a thick

turtleneck underneath to help and ended up with a hot flash the whole time.

But other than that? Pretty amazing party!

Fuel for the Week.

Guess what? This is the last week of the semester!!!

My emotions are a mixture of excitement, relief, incredible stress,

and a lack of dedication.

So here are some things that I will be looking forward to

picking apart as soon as I turn in my last scantron sheet.

Mindy Smith - Santa Will Find You

During the holidays, there's undoubtedly a lot of

sweets being baked and tossed around.

But I hope to warm all the hearts and tummies

with this finger food.

How adorbs are these baby felt shoes?!

I found them at the Purl Bee . I read the

tutorial and it seem so easy ya'll!

I mean, I got a reason to make them too!

You skimmed this one, Binx.

This 2012 hand printed calendar from sheep shead is perfect!

All your gal pals would love it!

Have a good week everyone.

I'm giving you warning now, after this week, Cameron

will be in Christmas mode!
