More Fall!!

These frames were on sale at Hobby Lobby for $2 each. Couldn't find my Halloween scrapbook paper so had to print out the word "BOO" on white. Still cute!!

We saw this idea in a Parenting magazine. Clear balls, orange tissue and a marker.

Made little Pumpkin's to hang from our little tree inside. :) Blake thought this was really cool.

Just a little of what I have been doing

This recipe was really easy. Homemade rolls that went with our supper last night. Here is the link :

This is my next project. I found it at Goodwill for $4.99. Guess we will see how it turns out.

And this candle holder. I found at Goodwill for $1.99. Blake and I went to the park to find the acorns to fill it up. :)

The big thing I need to work on is Christmas gifts for people. Gotta get my idea's going and start crafting. :)

Decorating for Fall

Welcome to our home. Fall is almost as fun to decorate for as Christmas!!

I made this wreath, I couldn't find one that was just fallish with not too much orange on it. So, I used a Michael's 40% off coupon and bought the wreath for $1.50 and a box of the fall fruit on clearance for $1.99 and use my handy glue gun. I like it!!

Nothing too fancy, the sofa table. With my homemade lettered frames.

A table I put together in the breakfast area with some things I had left over.

The boys BOO pumpkins on the mantle of the fireplace. Just used stick on letters.


The whole view of the fireplace. By the way, Eric made it by himself from scratch. :)

The Oven.

The buffet in the dining room.

My table with the new napkins I found today in chocolate with the hemstitch!! :)

The whole table, with pumpkin accents on the plates and small votives at each sitting.

So, this is what I have so far. I am sure as I look at these pictures I will change and add things. Thanks for looking!!

I've been gone way too long!!!

Most everyone I know is fully aware of the fact that I had a stroke this summer. I'm 30 years old and had a stroke. I was at a chiropractor appointment and apparantly one of the risks with getting your neck adjusted is a vetebral artery disection. Which is what happened to me. I spent four days in the hospital and I am still on medication and am going through pysical therapy twice a week. It was crazy!! I'm friends and family where such wonderful support. I never would have made it through without them!!

So, I am ready to get back to normal!! What ever normal is for me!! ;)

Yummy Cake and Cookies!!!

So, what do you do when you get stressed? I tend to bake and bake and bake a little more.

I saw a 12 layer cake recipe on this blog:

http://bakerella.blogspot.com/

So, I decided to make it for a good friend's birthday. It was rather involved and ended up being a 11 layer cake because I had to sample a layer. Yummy!!!

This was a serious cake!! It felt like it was 10 pounds!!

Then today I had to make a dessert for my son's school - since the teachers have conferences the parents make meals to take in for them in the evening. I made 80 sugar cookies with the school initial and mascot. I love making sugar cookies!!! They are so much fun!!!

Tomorrow is a big day for Blake. He has a doctor's appointment. Please keep him in your prayers!!

Love Always,

Chrissy

Cake Pops

I came across this idea on another blog when I was looking for something to make for a friend of mine for her birthday. She is an awesome baker and just an ordinary cake would not do.

Here is the link for the directions:

Hers are soooo much better looking than mine!!

Basically all it is, is cake that has been baked crushed up with cream cheese frosting. Make that into balls and then cover with chocolate melt.

They did taste pretty yummy!!!

Thanks for stopping in!!
