Flashback Friday

Today is my 33rd Birthday!  This photo was taken 3 years ago on my 30th Birthday.  Taking an apple pie shot with my mom, cousin, and best friend.  

Ugh my old kitchen was so dated and ugly! 

Boondock Saints Stenciled Tee

 

I made this Boondock Saints stenciled tee for the Ongoing Wish Swap.  I cut the stencil by hand onto freezer paper and then used Tulip Soft Fabric Paint to paint the design on the shirt.  I am really happy with how this one turned out and I hope my partner liked it too!

Foodie Friday-Cherry Cheesecake Dip

i

I made this Cherry Cheesecake Dip for our Block Watch Party. I love super simple recipes that come together very quickly.   This one was easy and it was a hit!  I am not a fan of cheesecake and only tried a tiny taste of it but the entire tray was gone by the end of the afternoon.

I changed the original recipe up a bit as I tend to do. 

For mine you will need:
1 8oz box of cream cheese, softened
1 tub of whipped cream
1/2 a jar of marshmallow fluff
1 can of cherry pie filling 

Graham Crackers

Mix the cream cheese and marshmallow fluff together, fold in the whipped cream.  Spread over bottom of prepared pan.  Spread cherries over the top, eat with the crackers. 

See easy!

The original recipe came from The MOMager

Candy Necklace

 

I made this candy colored necklace for a partner in the Ongoing Wish Swap.  The inspiration necklace came from The Impatient Crafter which my partner had pinned.  I looked at the necklace a few times then asked what colors she wanted.  She said she likes candy colors.  The pink beads remind me of gum balls and I love turquoise and pink together.  

For some reason I thought the original necklace was a double strand which is why I made mine a double.  It was a happy mistake though cause I really love the way this turned out!  I need to order more supplies so I can make another one for myself.
