Snow Ice-cream

When it has snowed 24 inches in two weeks time...and it looks like this outside:

 

 

What is a girl to do...but gather up some snow...

 

Bring it inside...

 

And...make some snow ice-cream!

 

Yum!  I can't wait to try her recipe!

 

She added a little Reese's peanut butter cup for mom!

 

Can you even call it ice-cream if it isn't topped with Reese's peanut butter cups?

 

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you are staying warm!

The Body of Christ

 

Matthew 18:19-20

 

Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, there I am with them.

 

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a marvelous week!

DIY - Painted Clipboard

One of my daughter's Forensics coaches needed a little clipboard that would fit in her purse.  So, I headed to the thrift store to see what I could find.  I found the perfect 4x5 clipboard for $.49.

 

I created some painted papers by adding texture with hand-carved stamps...then I made a tag with the 2013 theme on it...and a fun, one-of-a-kind, forensics and debate clipboard was born!

 

I LOVE this washi tape.  I thought it was appropriate to point out the forensics slogan on the back!

 

I added red and turquoise little dots with the back of my paintbrush and a few doodles to add more texture!

 

Thanks for stopping by!

 

Expect miracles, laugh often, and ALWAYS color outside the lines!

Serving Tray Make-over

Valentine Party

 

 

My daughter had a Valentine party this weekend.  One of her friends baked these beautiful cupcakes.  I wanted a special platter to serve them on.  So...I headed to the thrift store to see what I could find!  I found this great white platter for $.49.  Took it home...put it through the dishwasher...AND...

 

I added a few doodles. 

 

You can tell it is a very simple pattern.  Scallops, dots, and lines with a circle on top.

 

 

Just a peek at a few of the other decorations.  The girls all wore pink...They ate all sorts of pink candy...Watched a "chick flick"...painted nails...and laughed A LOT!  It was a sweet evening.

 

This is one of the pink tissue papers roses that the girls created.

 

Thanks for stopping by.

AT the Cross

Psalm 100

¹ Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
² Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
³ Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

⁴ Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
⁵ For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.
