{Three cheers for summer!}

So I have been out of school for a week and finally have the time to work on things around our NEW house! :) We moved at the end of April and now have a 4 bedroom house with soooo much room! It's wonderful.  We sold our leather couches before the move and got our new sectional couch last week! So, that's my new project....something for the wall above the couch.  I am wanting to create a giant collage with all different types of frames.  So far I have over 15 frames and I have spray painted all of them white, soft gold, and navy.  I'm wanting to kind of make the room those colors mainly.  So, I'm working on it and will hopefully post pictures soon.  Saturday is Rylie Kate's first birthday and birthday party so I want to at least get the house started and make it look good.  We'll see.  Until next time.... {Which should be tomorrow or Tuesday!}

Here is the recipe:
1 pizza crust (I just bought a premade one)
1 pound of asparagus, cut and boiled for 3 min.
1 cup of your favorite white sauce
1/3 cup of grated parmesean cheese x2 (one will go on top of the finished pizza)

Put the dough down then white sauce, then asparagus, then top with the other cheeses. Bake for 20 min. at 450 degrees F.

{Keep Calm and Meet Deadline}

ok, so my birthday was March 9 and one of my adorable yearbook girls made me the framed picture below! :) I love it! Every yearbook adviser needs one of these....Until next time....


{Letters}

Another project I'm working on is letters! I created this R for Rylie Kate & the B for Baleigh. I bought the letters at Joanne's and I covered them in scrapbook paper. I think they turned out so cute! :) I'm making 10 more letters for the craft show, but having a little trouble so far! Hopefully I'll be able to post some soon. Until next time...

{So many wreaths, so little time}

I am working on some crafts for the Fox Lake craft show on April 14. I'm making at least 6 wreaths. The first picture is my wreaths that I have wrapped in ribbon. The next step is to make felt flowers to go on one side of the wreath. The blue/white checked is a Gator wreath, the maroon and gold is FSU (or AHS)....I'm finished with the navy & white striped one and will post a picture later. **It's so cute, I did red flowers! Very patriotic! :)


This is the easter wreath I created. Below this picture is a pic with the bunny that is hanging on our front door. He fit perfectly into the wreath and looks so cute! :)

Happy Easter! :)

{Brownie S'mores}
These are so easy and so delicious! Just make your favorite brownies from the box and then pour half the batter into your muffin pan (I used cupcake wrappers too so that it wasn't as messy) then place one marshmallow in each cupcake wrapper and then pour the remaining batter on top of each marshmallow. Then bake according to the directions for the brownies.
{Delicious}
{Pizza Rolls}
These are also so easy and so delicious! Just get a can of biscuits and a pack of pepperoni and a bag of shredded mozzarella cheese and a thing of your favorite Italian seasoning. I just pulled apart the biscuits and with each one I cut the pepperoni's into 1/4's and placed them on the biscuit and sprinkled some seasoning and some grated mozzarella cheese. Then you just roll it all up together in your hands. Then place in your muffin pan and bake according to the directions on the biscuits. Delicious! :)
{Yummy}
