Howdy, ya'll. I just wanted to give a little update on what I have been up to.
First, I have been in a baking FRENZY lately. I finally opened a cookbook we have had for 5 years (wedding gift) and decided to make this MUMMY Calzone! I have never made anything like this ever! But I must admit that it was delicious and it was fun to start trying some fun Halloween recipes.
I was MAJORLLY (is that a word?) craving cold stone ice cream...we have a Marble Slab Creamery like 5 minutes from our house so it had to do. Ben called it "Cold Maggie Slab Creamery." Emma of course wanted a "sparkle's" cone with GREEN ice cream.
This pic was taken October 9th...so about 7 1/2 months pregnant. Hooray, I am almost done! I feel like a Thanksgiving Turkey and my belly button is like the thing that pops out of the turkey when it is done.
So I love love love being creative and making things! And I was so happy to FINALLY do a project. Our Relief Society had a Super Saturday and I made these for Miss E's room. I used a different "technique" for each letter...but I still ended up with Mod Podge all over my hands for each of them.
This morning Emma asked me to fix her slinky. Check out that knot! The only way I know how to fix THAT will be to cut it below the knot. Looks like Slinky will be getting a trim.
Other Stuff: Earlier this month I started a joy school with some friends in the ward. It was been soooo much fun and the kiddos love it! Today they learned H for Halloween and Emma got to wear her Dora Costume.
I can still wear flip-flops everyday!...and shorts (if I had any that fit). The Fall weather here is beautiful to me! The leaves are starting to change a little bit, but it is still gorgeous. I am just thankful to be living here. I hope we are here for a LONG TIME!
So those are a few things that this mummy has been up to lately.
Erika: I'm so glad you like the letters I did. It was so fun! I mod podged paper on all of them but the pink M. I painted it pink and I painted the sides of the E pink, too. For the pink M I glued on flowers I had cut out from the same paper pack that I used for the other letters. Then I mod podged the whole thing (expect the back of course). For the E I just mod podge paper to the front (SOOO EASY), let it dry then used my awesome craft scissors to trim it down. Then I mod podged that whole thing, too. I used the matte formula of mod podge. I didn't take a close up pic of the M. Hopefully that info helps!
