I would reference this for the font styles for your silhouette cameo.<br />
<br />
I started at the thrift store to get some frames. I found two, one that would need to be painted, one that was perfect the way it was. Then I was off to home depot to get spray paint.<br />
<br />

Separate the glass and the frame. If you need to paint the frame do that. Then using your Looking Glass Spray Paint and a used a gold metallic or silver I spray painted first with the silver or gold right on to the glass. I did a light spray on the corners of the glass, and a light spray in the center. Let dry about 1 minute. Now you are ready for the Looking Glass spray paint. Spray the whole glass. Do about two coats and let dry. </div>

Thanks to <a href="http://lungfam.blogspot.com/2011/09/recipe-pumpkin-cream-cheese-muffins.html">Annalisa</a>(click for recipe) for this yummy treat I made it this weekend.<br />
I made a few changes to the recipe<br />
It calls for 2 cups Pumpkin I just put in 1 15oz can<br />
I added Oatmeal to the topping<br />
and to be honest drizzle more cream cheese frosting on the top!<br />
SO GOOD!</div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03932982842179356381noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3967892340172273319.post-86760417748404825862011-10-03T14:26:00.000-07:002011-10-03T14:44:38.966-07:00Halloween Games!

Kick bowling it is!

The Ultimate Chocolate Layered Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Birthday Cake<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1 box Pillsbury Devils Food Cake Mix<br />
4 large eggs<br />
1/2 Cup canola oil<br />
1/2 Cup water<br />
8 oz sour cream<br />
1 small box instant chocolate pudding mix<br />
1 bag mini or regular chocolate chips<br />
_____________________<br />
4 8oz packages softened cream cheese<br />
2 sticks softened butter<br />
16 oz bag powdered sugar (most of it)<br />
_____________________<br />
<br />
1 Cup melted creamy peanut butter<br />
1 bag of Reeses Peanut Butter Cup minis, halved (freeze bag for an hour before cutting, it’s much easier)<br />
<br />
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a stand or electric mixer add the cake mix, eggs, oil, water, sour cream, pudding mix and chocolate chips. Beat until well combined, about 1 1/2 minutes. Will be thick. Pour evenly into 2 well greased 9 inch cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean from center of cakes. Let cool completely.<br />
<br />
2. To prepare cream cheese frosting place softened cream cheese and butter into a mixing bowl, beat on med-high speed until creamy smooth. Slowly beat in powdered sugar until a good spreading consistency forms. I used almost the entire bag of powdered sugar. Refrigerate for a good hour before frosting.<br />
<br />
3. Turn cakes onto wax paper and with a large serrated knife cut each cake in half width wise to form 4 layers. Place one layer onto a cake stand and drizzle melted peanut butter over top. Next spread a generous amount of cream cheese frosting over that. Place another cake layer on top and repeat peanut butter and frosting until top layer is placed. Spread remaining frosting over entire cake then top with halved Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Minis. I froze the cake until ready for serving. It stays nice and cold which makes it MUCH easier to cut into slices.Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03932982842179356381noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3967892340172273319.post-39019282992858606592011-09-30T10:32:00.000-07:002011-09-30T10:32:38.165-07:00Witches Brooms<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">A <span style="font-size: x-large;">Witch</span> comes to our house each year on the <span style="font-size: x-large;">30th of September</span> to bring us Halloween Cheer, She <span style="font-size: x-large;">swoops</span> in a flash and leaves<span style="font-size: x-large;"> floating Hats</span> that <span style="font-size: large;">sparkle and shine</span>, <span style="font-size: x-large;">ITS HALLOWEEN TIME!</span> This year she was feeling extra "witchy" and left us with some <span style="font-size: x-large;">spooky brooms</span> too.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thanks to a good monsoon storm we had branches that broke off some trees in the neighborhood (pretty sure that landscaping crew thought I was crazy wanting the big branch) I used a small saw and cut "witch broom" size pieces and twigs. I let them bake in the AZ sun to dry out and to help the leaves fall off. Next take some wire and tie your twigs to your broom stick (it would be easier with some help but I managed) Next I bought the cheapest Black Spray Paint (I think it was primer) and paint them. I did a top coat of some black Glitter.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

This Italian heirloom is a deep blue green in color like the ocean. The skin is knobby and reminds me of a sea urchin. It has a sweet orange flesh and is excellent in pies and baked goods.<br />

Start with tissue paper (we like Walmart brand)<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">10</span> sheets of tissue is the <span style="font-size: large;">magic</span> number for a perfectly puffy ball (<em><span style="font-size: x-small;">we tried less not so poof</span></em>)<br />
for a smaller ball cut sheets in half start your fold on the "short side" so you get lots of folds <br />

It has been busy at our house we have a new KINDERGARTNER this year I wanted her to have a special big girl room. My friend had given me her Dads old furniture from when he was younger and I have be waiting for the inspiration to do some thing with it, well my inspiration comes in the form of <a href="http://www.picturethis--photography.blogspot.com/">Ms Malissa Cordova</a> and her Entourage. I started with getting the furniture ready. Cleaned it with TSP (a life saver) and sanding it down, primed it, sanded again, painted sand a bit more painted more and more. Then beat it up with sand paper and a dark brown glase.(you may need someone to hold your hand (MC) while you do this..its stressful to "ruin" or "antiquing" something you just slaved over making perfect!) Finished it with Polyurethane. It just lovely. The Room color is "Pineapple upside Down Cake" and The Poor Painting Crew had to paint 6 coats to cover the purple, with a tinted primer? Don't know why it took so long. It really was a group effort to surprise Gionni with her new room they did it in TWO days, (allot of the prep and shopping was done before) the kids helped paint the purple letters, find books for the room and Zee made the awesome tutu for the Guinea Pigs cage. Troy Boy added his touch in butterflies and nail guns. Pretty sure Kristy just got stuck with slave labor ;) and MC is the master designer (<a href="http://www.picturethis--photography.blogspot.com/">who is available for hire</a>) Ms G was thrilled! "Its just what I dreamed of " she said when she saw it. I feel so loved for everyone that helped! It made for a special day for a special girl.<br />
PS The budget was $100.00 (minus what is cost to redo the furniture)Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03932982842179356381noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3967892340172273319.post-20472635065479109972011-07-27T15:42:00.000-07:002011-07-27T15:42:43.252-07:00paint + sweat = new room makeover!!I had the oppurtunity to makeover my friend's little boys bedroom! I was more than thrilled! She was going out of town for 1 week...Saturday to Saturday...I procrastinated a bit and started Wednesday! We barely made it! She had the bed and the bedding, and my budget was $100. $100 goes faster than one might think...a few accessories and paint and I was spent. But that's when you get to be creative and resourceful. We reused frames she already had and a we used a bookshelf, that I was getting ready to donate, as the dresser. I may have gone over budget...just slightly. But it turned out great and he was SuPeR excited. And thats all that matters!! He loves cars, firetrucks, construction and trains. So we threw a little of everything in there to make a transportation room!<br />

My phone and modem are right next to each other on the counter and it's just kinda ugly. So I bought an UgLy tray at Ross for like $2.99. Steal of a deal! It was ugly brown floral, for some reason I have lost my before picture. But in this pic, you can kinda see the pretty flowers that it had on it, and picture it a real nice poopy brown color. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8P1xFRNnPmRdYw_CPWCw05gqolKHtXrazZr4zfk2oa9hNKLlAw1nTI4EVa0nlxV2yDCVv0dPdQQb2d1rY-2rtpCYbG9rA9m4uVvj_KIt2GqD8ftjgKIDd4vNoXnXmQB_W0pEukV8-McQ/s1600/DSC_0010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8P1xFRNnPmRdYw_CPWCw05gqolKHtXrazZr4zfk2oa9hNKLlAw1nTI4EVa0nlxV2yDCVv0dPdQQb2d1rY-2rtpCYbG9rA9m4uVvj_KIt2GqD8ftjgKIDd4vNoXnXmQB_W0pEukV8-McQ/s640/DSC_0010.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> I did a few quick coats with my favorite shade of blue!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiumywsSwXvulQ3ST7ZVOnACFVShcB1IVVUkcueAhTmEsFHXynsL9_N36LfUOdzzNZzCILWFITCW_LhFiFm-Wse_ZcTg3eWKzV6GhpzlMfZLdCEoKNO9BZvzf1nIwCJEgknftVGMNAZ96Y/s1600/DSC_0011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiumywsSwXvulQ3ST7ZVOnACFVShcB1IVVUkcueAhTmEsFHXynsL9_N36LfUOdzzNZzCILWFITCW_LhFiFm-Wse_ZcTg3eWKzV6GhpzlMfZLdCEoKNO9BZvzf1nIwCJEgknftVGMNAZ96Y/s640/DSC_0011.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It helped take my kinda boring mess in to something a bit more tamed and colorful.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbeTNPnsFIFIdoooXhwFQIBjwNIEsOKLXzEOnWtNsvoXbQ0SO_43n01l7pqXH0q0jNDWGtWpbdwDyHHX3v_FKHZdG5Mqvv9kUmaaoQwMtDe3N9mmQJ7pkJHjWEf9j5Ex3YHrviGRPFg2E/s1600/DSC_0014-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbeTNPnsFIFIdoooXhwFQIBjwNIEsOKLXzEOnWtNsvoXbQ0SO_43n01l7pqXH0q0jNDWGtWpbdwDyHHX3v_FKHZdG5Mqvv9kUmaaoQwMtDe3N9mmQJ7pkJHjWEf9j5Ex3YHrviGRPFg2E/s640/DSC_0014-1.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0NTZ4P_NLBG5qslWk8xtRVSbGP5lrUoC29tdgyoKlaps3idXtDMXSStqP0bGKxi3Sbm-qTOUzYjjfFzLn5DlTibnVC3iFimXu6LIoFROakUtFL_xgF4ZGnShXd37bVbwcqBv6C4LKrKI/s1600/DSC_0022.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0NTZ4P_NLBG5qslWk8xtRVSbGP5lrUoC29tdgyoKlaps3idXtDMXSStqP0bGKxi3Sbm-qTOUzYjjfFzLn5DlTibnVC3iFimXu6LIoFROakUtFL_xgF4ZGnShXd37bVbwcqBv6C4LKrKI/s640/DSC_0022.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> And I think I love it!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOBmn1165PN4O-MGMpDYOHSQrnXIjs-NgGkgb9wFvQ9W0Ew-nFMfiU2bhA__s-EA1cTJi27clkYdA6JMgMfO-knmKX-4EUx_ZF_yU_z2OTgGL7Mmyx8QuB-27JPTOlQaMG4E9AOH0urYM/s1600/DSC_0019-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOBmn1165PN4O-MGMpDYOHSQrnXIjs-NgGkgb9wFvQ9W0Ew-nFMfiU2bhA__s-EA1cTJi27clkYdA6JMgMfO-knmKX-4EUx_ZF_yU_z2OTgGL7Mmyx8QuB-27JPTOlQaMG4E9AOH0urYM/s640/DSC_0019-1.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Don't mind the unfinished countertops...one day this decade, they might get completed, and the ripped up wall next to the cabinets...let's just say, there is some moving of the cabinets happening around here!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
How did they make them?<br />
$1.00 Wal Mart Flip Flops<br />
6 inch pieces of ribbon (no that is not an Elf joke its really is 6")<br />
We found that if you don't double knot they come off and we should have put "fray glue" on the ends so they will not fray.<br />

<strong><u>MATERIALS NEEDED:</u></strong><br />
1/2 Yard of material (I used some scraps that I had, preferably two colors)<br />
1/4 Yard medium interface<br />
Pins<br />
Sewing Machine<br />
Iron<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><u>DIRECTIONS:</u></strong><br />
1-Cut out all fabric according to pattern. Iron if needed.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicMGv1in3ZuZKDOIG97vWkDd78RYTp95CYEi7ZIPfwsASc8tah0Ij_0YPz4iqCo-kBMrN29OO6GhBPYHTfsyUhRfYhTVHn_Ys9xKBva8v3tuk_dBVsBNhuwAJIdqg6qRBH3hk6alkmBGM/s1600/DSCF2794.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicMGv1in3ZuZKDOIG97vWkDd78RYTp95CYEi7ZIPfwsASc8tah0Ij_0YPz4iqCo-kBMrN29OO6GhBPYHTfsyUhRfYhTVHn_Ys9xKBva8v3tuk_dBVsBNhuwAJIdqg6qRBH3hk6alkmBGM/s640/DSCF2794.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>2- Start with Pattern C. Hopefully you cut 4, separate into to piles. With Right sides together sew 3 edges together leaving the bottom open. Right side out and set aside.<br />
<br />
3-Take section B, separate into two piles: 1 interface, 2 fabric/pile. Place fabric right sides together, then the interface, pin, sew 3 edges, leaving the bottom open, right side out and set aside. <br />
<br />
<br />

Sew 3 edges leaving top open, it is ok that the bottom is unfinished. <br />

Put a dot of hot glue in the center of the 2" X 2" square. Roll up your 1/2" strip about 3 times and place on hot glue with fold side showing up and raw edges on hot glue. Drawing a spiral with your hot glue, about an inch at a time, place your strip on top of it. Continue with the spiral until the strip is complete.<br />

I love this interview and I love what Rachael Says about Speaking is a SKILL that can often take time to learn, why not give your child a Language! We have loved watching our kids use sign language, we have cousins and friends that also have enjoyed it. It is a tool for parenthood whether for not you have a child with a hearing/speaking challenge or not. Leah you are so well spoken what a role modle you are!<br />
