<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As I told you in the last post, we are currently living in a 2 bedroom apartment with my parents. If we </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">aren't </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">careful it could really drive us all insane. So we have decided to find different things to do that help us stay sane. And that also involves keeping Peyton occupied in this tiny apartment. We decided to start a new tradition of making homemade pizzas. I decided to make a pulled pork pizza. It turned out AMAZING!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">DISCLAIMER: I am no chef! (Which means if I can make this delicious pizza, then so can you!)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While browsing around Pinterest, I found my inspiration for this newfound family tradition from the picture below on <a href="http://feelinglovesome.blogspot.com/">Lovesome's blog</a>. I followed their recipe to make the pizza dough. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Topping Ingredients:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Pulled Pork </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mozzarella Cheese</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oven Roasted Red Potatoes</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Olive Oil </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Grated Parmesan Cheese</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After the pizza dough was made, I brushed the dough with olive oil and then sprinkled some grated parmesan cheese on the crust. I used the Sweet Baby Ray's as the sauce. Then put on the mozzarella cheese and the pulled pork. As I said earlier, I am no chef so I just used the microwave pulled pork from the lunch meat section at the grocery store. I like sweet BBQ and it was good, plus I didn't have to cook that part. Then I put on the leftover oven roasted red potatoes from the night before. I decided to add those at the last minute because they were in the fridge and about to be thrown out. I absolutely loved them on the pizza. Lastly, I topped it off with just a little more cheese and BBQ sauce. I baked the pizza at 425 degrees for about 15 minutes. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was so easy and fun to make. This is definitely going to be a new staple at our house. Everyone had so much fun adding their own touch to their pizza.</span></div>

What a crazy year (especially the last few months) we have had! It has been a long time since we have published a post and a lot of things have happened. Some of them exciting, some of them stressful, and some of them exciting and stressful.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We have sold our home and we are having a new home built. They finally started construction of it on Monday. We didn't think it would ever happen (we signed for the house back in April). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It has been a crazy process though! When we sold our home, my parents offered to let us stay with them while our house was being built to save money. We knew it would be tough for all 5 of use to be under one roof, but it was worth it to save some money. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then during the process, we all decided that my parents needed to sell their house and move into the neighborhood too! I know...we are CRAZY! So that meant more packing. Peyton is a great moving helper!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So now we are all 5 under one roof in a 2 bedroom apartment! Hopefully we all still like each other by the time our house are built and are </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">permanently living across the street from each other.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am very excited about decorating the new house though and have been going crazy on Pinterest with ideas. Mike and I are really excited to work on building some of our furniture ourselves!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Unfortunately, while we are in the apartment we are having to put the LittleBunnySueSue Etsy shop on vacation mode. But, we will use this time to let our creative juices flow and come up with some great Fall and Winter lines!</span></div>

I found a great old desk and chair over the summer at a garage sale and knew I had to have it. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted to do, but figured I would cross that bridge later. Then it came to me! I decided to make it into a fun bright place for the kids to sit during independent work. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">First I used a little primer spray paint to make sure the paint stuck!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Then I went with a turquoise color and decided to accent with orange. I thought those were some fun colors that weren't too boyish or girlish. Then I decided to paint the top of the desk with chalkboard paint. This will be a great spot for them to practice writing their site words! I am so excited!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />

Peyton needed a her own Superhero cape so we decided to make one for her. I found a pattern <a href="http://www.jollymom.com/2011/09/no-sew-superhero-capes-free-template.html?m=1">here.</a> We had to do a little tweaking because it was made for a bigger kid, but all in all it was so easy! No sewing for the cape part at all. We only had to break out the sewing machine for the felt appliqué we put on it.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Our Etsy shop has been open just over a year...oh how time flies! My mom and I were inspired to open our shop after I had my daughter Peyton. We were constantly making new things for her and wanted to share these special handmade things with the world. So we got online, opened our shop, and started listing our items. We thought at first that people would just...come. I mean we've all seen the movie right? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>"If you build it, they will come"</b></span> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Apparently, not so much the case for your Etsy shop. Your customers don't just magically appear coming out of the corn fields.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Over the past year we have made made mistakes, we have had successes, but most importantly we have learned A LOT!! So I wanted to share with you some of the things that we have learned throughout our journey. Maybe you will find something to try and help you be more successful! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>1. Photos, Photos, Photos</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We are continuously looking at our photos and trying to make them better. This has been one of the most challenging things for us since we are not really photographers. It is so important for your photos to be clear, bright, and sharp. Since our customers can't touch and feel our products, we have to show them how great they are with our photography. We have found that a white background displays our products the best. However, it has taken a lot of work to find the right white background to use. And we still have lots of work to do.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is a photo from when we first started:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr0A-Cl3XUDRx10MD8nY5ojFM74q9z6EBgWJW8EFBGHBK5Lmk1FJiUxXfuxeQ393ftlZ-kCKFOXM49RVD7RsgO-WweULO22ZU6Og3Uv8Tt2xLG3oXwdgKJVM3GY-aEkKE36rOquNYP-1E/s1600/IMG_5973.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr0A-Cl3XUDRx10MD8nY5ojFM74q9z6EBgWJW8EFBGHBK5Lmk1FJiUxXfuxeQ393ftlZ-kCKFOXM49RVD7RsgO-WweULO22ZU6Og3Uv8Tt2xLG3oXwdgKJVM3GY-aEkKE36rOquNYP-1E/s400/IMG_5973.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As you can see, the picture is not very bright and it has a definite red tone. Not some of our best work. We built a light box for ourselves and bought some lights to use for it. And this is how most of our pictures turned out. We had to do a lot of touch up afterwards on the computer.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A more recent photo:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEhMB1vsvn0kbW38U6EcOIi-QKAYYcL1Kldyrfro9B_LU2wAC6sI8Cx2Pw15Z3EYtnU2rfybF9d8FHSGb65hr31AXcHOjtR76ZxVMN4p2wOlrb_yRT8fVut19C9JlISDmJ0dWdaZaKiyU/s1600/IMG_1776.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEhMB1vsvn0kbW38U6EcOIi-QKAYYcL1Kldyrfro9B_LU2wAC6sI8Cx2Pw15Z3EYtnU2rfybF9d8FHSGb65hr31AXcHOjtR76ZxVMN4p2wOlrb_yRT8fVut19C9JlISDmJ0dWdaZaKiyU/s400/IMG_1776.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is definitely a much brighter photo. We are now trying to use more natural light when snapping pictures of our product. This picture was taken near a window and the skirt is just laying on a .69 cent piece of poster board. I laid the skirt down on the poster board and then kneeled on a chair to shoot from above. The poster board background gives of much better white that the light box had for us. And with the natural light I barely had to do any touch ups on the computer at all. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>2. Consistently Listing New Items</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is so important! When we first opened our shop, we were working furiously to list items so that our customers had plenty to choose from. Then we reached 50-60 items in our shop and slowed down a bit. Our daytime jobs and other things caught up with us and we weren't listing things as consistently. There was a definite change in how many views we were getting and the amount of sales we were making. Then summer got here and I had a lot more time on my hands since I am a teacher. I have been adding new items to the shop each week and the shop has picked back up again. It just goes to show that you will get what you put in. This was a big wake up call and we will have to stick to this schedule even as I prepare to head back into the classroom.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><br />
</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>3. Offer a Variety of Choices</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Its not just about the amount of items in your shop. Customers want a variety designs to look at. I see a change in the amount of views and sells we make on items as we offer more choices. We are starting to add more skirts and dresses in our shop. There are more views in these shop sections as we add more of these items to the shop. We have a lot of choices for onesies and tees and customers tend to browse longer in these sections. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><br />
</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>4. Participate with the Etsy Community</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It definitely helps to get involved. Again, I have had a lot more time this summer to do this and I have seen the benefit. The different teams on Etsy have a lot of great advice to offer. You can learn a lot from just getting on the forums and reading. Its also really helpful to have a place to go and ask a question you have and have so many knowledgable people there to respond. Participating in things like Etsy teams and treasuries, you also drive more people to your shop. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><br />
</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>5. Descriptions, Tags, and Titles...OH MY!</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I am no expert on this topic and still probably need to go back and edit many of my listings. But I have definitely learned some things along the way. When thinking about what to write, think like the customer. Use words that you think they would use to search. I have also found that it helps to use the same words that are in the title in the first line of your description. Another tip I have picked up along the way is to make sure that you use phrases in your tags. Instead of using just one word like "baby" and "onesie" it is better to use it as a phrase like "baby onesie". Once I started doing this, I saw a definite increase in the amount of views I was getting on my product. Before when I would list something new it would take quite a while for it to get its first view. Now, its a matter of hours before they are viewed for first time. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>These are just some of the things that we have picked up along the way. We still have a lot to learn and hope that we can continue adding to this list as the years go by!</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

So I thought I would give a little shout out to some of my fellow Etsians. Here are some of my favorite items:<br />

And if you didn't know, my birthday is next Tuesday. I turn the big 28! Getting close to the big 3-0! So if you were just sitting around racking your brain for an awesome birthday gift for me....you could kindly choose from the items above :)<br />
<br />
I probably need to send my husband over to this post!<br />

Hope everyone had a GREAT weekend!Little Bunny SueSuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17775680768125844806noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784363356718157353.post-28166742276209237012012-07-20T08:39:00.000-07:002012-07-20T08:39:15.800-07:00DIY Chevron DisasterI LOVE LOVE LOVE anything with chevron! We have been trying to order chevron fabric from Riley Blake for a while and it is always on back order. I just had to do something with chevron though...I'm a little impatient. <div><br />
</div><div>So I looked through all of my craft supplies and saw that I had a blank canvas, plenty of paint, and some painters tape. Everything you need to make an awesome piece of DIY chevron wall art! I quickly scoured Pinterest for a tutorial I could use to make this awesome piece of art. </div><div><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7kiqaabw8Okbfkck4jnRE241ipIPmAOtjl2yGPsgQrLP5VWBRIYaDH9XaqWzzdguKxZevmYwaEG0Tkeuut7LR7pTQhn5FVlWcvnKFG3ommUlDbpqT_ZPJIDq7-MVW_vmpVk8WBX_8aII/s1600/Chevron+Tutorial.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7kiqaabw8Okbfkck4jnRE241ipIPmAOtjl2yGPsgQrLP5VWBRIYaDH9XaqWzzdguKxZevmYwaEG0Tkeuut7LR7pTQhn5FVlWcvnKFG3ommUlDbpqT_ZPJIDq7-MVW_vmpVk8WBX_8aII/s400/Chevron+Tutorial.jpg" width="332" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/187814246930210685/" target="_blank">via</a></div><div><br />
</div><div>Then I very dangerously and optimistically thought, "This isn't going to be that hard at all." As I looked through the tutorial and looked at my supplies, I realized that I really didn't have the right size tape because my canvas was pretty small. But as I said earlier, I am very impatient and just had to have something chevron NOW!</div><div><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh44TPC5q9OOASgX_zkREtXha1-OCx1WQD-9_doog2QGiIfIwfI6hUtyDTmVQG4Z25Ic8hZ4-qq3p5jICupBRC3aTN7ZnTN1Gj3AnkZU_2bH7QD8CVw5a31RBFAxo3sWA0ULP6pAOjZecQ/s1600/IMG_1727.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh44TPC5q9OOASgX_zkREtXha1-OCx1WQD-9_doog2QGiIfIwfI6hUtyDTmVQG4Z25Ic8hZ4-qq3p5jICupBRC3aTN7ZnTN1Gj3AnkZU_2bH7QD8CVw5a31RBFAxo3sWA0ULP6pAOjZecQ/s400/IMG_1727.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So I very strategically started measuring and marking the middle of the canvas to decide where to lay the tape. This is where the disaster started. I spent the next 30 minutes taping and retaping the canvas in a very frustrated way.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ3qOsiPxEKjAr_yN6ic7y3xJ2skp4Qi1IB9Y_2kZQiRryGeQbeWDsqibs6rUwEA2IBZLg0tI_loWR4rCn-cHE4pgBn1cXrRD74xY5xB6rFFySfRTNq-nsRRtm0IWgA30RF85aZmin4QA/s1600/IMG_1728.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ3qOsiPxEKjAr_yN6ic7y3xJ2skp4Qi1IB9Y_2kZQiRryGeQbeWDsqibs6rUwEA2IBZLg0tI_loWR4rCn-cHE4pgBn1cXrRD74xY5xB6rFFySfRTNq-nsRRtm0IWgA30RF85aZmin4QA/s400/IMG_1728.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I finally ended up with this very lovely very NOT chevron design. I gave up and decided that this is what it was going to look like and went ahead and started painting.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHWwRG2LgO9zTo-2fjpKKnvKTIzt33Z0tWxgYADndDTXOIZ_XXOo2Beq0nqMYTfJtocL6BdNC1N9202ZxrJ5NDmidNBXejGVGt6gMSJBH5AXRPTVRtHZv_sD_kmd4YOtY8uKKmjymXfb8/s1600/IMG_1729.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHWwRG2LgO9zTo-2fjpKKnvKTIzt33Z0tWxgYADndDTXOIZ_XXOo2Beq0nqMYTfJtocL6BdNC1N9202ZxrJ5NDmidNBXejGVGt6gMSJBH5AXRPTVRtHZv_sD_kmd4YOtY8uKKmjymXfb8/s400/IMG_1729.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBu9MmVzrFlI1MYgyOwBJaviAzJ7IoXKSpnGvFV-bpHvFHQO8ZkNvkVsgrb72bBJtL_ItbcotQhjZrnu3LrZRf8joZNoAy6NdkTYsG7nKI_g0p4rz_2TUZwRBZpoBHeZ3LJyraiqtsyzs/s1600/IMG_1730.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBu9MmVzrFlI1MYgyOwBJaviAzJ7IoXKSpnGvFV-bpHvFHQO8ZkNvkVsgrb72bBJtL_ItbcotQhjZrnu3LrZRf8joZNoAy6NdkTYsG7nKI_g0p4rz_2TUZwRBZpoBHeZ3LJyraiqtsyzs/s400/IMG_1730.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When it dried and I took the tape off I showed it to Mike to see his reaction. He very kindly told me that it looked like a road sign. I then very maturely stuck my tongue out at him. SO here you have it...my road sign chevron art. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is one of the first pieces I have worked on for the gallery wall that is going to go in the craft room. I have decided to keep it and still put it in the gallery wall. When people ask it will be a very meaningful piece that signifies that things don't always go the way we think they will. However, we will all know that it is just because I am too impatient :)</div><div><br />

How embarrassing! What a great blogger I am huh ;)<br />
<br />
So without further ado we have the fun games and activities we had at the Minnie Mouse party!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDaVNOq3ckw0LUGtnO40fV2ZNq99SRyijYqoW_ZrNlFBlUaDsNkKV0zYiJPPTlGZWtGIJrqKDFgxB_2ieY0vZuEManPSbx4kI7H6iQFLmEs07g71Vm13UAsdhNg8m4Fjf84hRsVspCG5A/s1600/IMG_6354.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDaVNOq3ckw0LUGtnO40fV2ZNq99SRyijYqoW_ZrNlFBlUaDsNkKV0zYiJPPTlGZWtGIJrqKDFgxB_2ieY0vZuEManPSbx4kI7H6iQFLmEs07g71Vm13UAsdhNg8m4Fjf84hRsVspCG5A/s400/IMG_6354.jpg" width="265" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We decided to have a little photo booth for all the kids to take pictures with Minnie and Mickey ears. Which I shamefully need to have printed and sent to everyone. I think that will be on my to do list for tomorrow. Not really doing very well on timeliness am I? I actually got this idea from Amber over at <a href="http://www.willscasa.com/" target="_blank">Wills Casa</a> from Ramona's last birthday party. We still have the picture of me and Peyton hanging up from the party. </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYiu5qzkNzLT0uIRg-l6LB0AApyDOQM_hwYN463mJaHMkl6knR5FI7d8iWXBPb7D_n1Itp7D-OKzu8-_thUyaWQPupnLH0bqpc7lRk1A89Uy2rLDLG4R7irEld-lxInEjjIAddBwo0o-w/s1600/IMG_6371.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYiu5qzkNzLT0uIRg-l6LB0AApyDOQM_hwYN463mJaHMkl6knR5FI7d8iWXBPb7D_n1Itp7D-OKzu8-_thUyaWQPupnLH0bqpc7lRk1A89Uy2rLDLG4R7irEld-lxInEjjIAddBwo0o-w/s400/IMG_6371.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I also made some little cutouts of Mickey heads and things to decorate with. The kids could choose from googly eyes, foam stickers, chalk, and jewels to decorate their Mickey/Minnie head. The older kids that were there got very creative with theirs. Several of them made 2 or 3 because they were having so much fun!</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfLPpYSHL3JSUYEVc2fXm-cxveFwmanqtFkyvh75_AwXdxAM6Xnl9q-XbU2GHuGgOmvicS00Y_jFt_od3GXffazrHG30LI6viAqvZk3cmE59jahlies6nw2MdeA54IRnN7wQBBF3z76Aw/s1600/IMG_6534.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfLPpYSHL3JSUYEVc2fXm-cxveFwmanqtFkyvh75_AwXdxAM6Xnl9q-XbU2GHuGgOmvicS00Y_jFt_od3GXffazrHG30LI6viAqvZk3cmE59jahlies6nw2MdeA54IRnN7wQBBF3z76Aw/s400/IMG_6534.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And lastly we had a Mickey head bean bag toss game. Mike cut out the Mickey head and the holes and then added a stand so it could sit on its own. We also took some rice and made a little square bean bag. Peyton is still playing with this! I tried to sneak it outside in the backyard because it is quite large. The next day she tattled on me to Daddy and he drug it back in.</div>Little Bunny SueSuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17775680768125844806noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784363356718157353.post-78993671995287831052012-07-13T09:30:00.000-07:002012-07-13T09:30:06.105-07:00Keep Calm and Sew On PrintableSo I have begun working on the elements that will go on my gallary wall for the craft room. We have lots of different old frames that I am going to spray paint different colors, but I didn't have the pictures to go in them. I wanted there to be a mix of pictures of Peyton, different graphics, and quotes that will inspire us. I love all the different versions of the Keep Calm pictures so I decided to make with sewing. Plus I just downloaded a new version of Photoshop Elements and desperately wanted to play around with it. So I used a combination of <a href="http://www.urbanfonts.com/fonts/Stitch_&_Bitch.htm" target="_blank">fonts</a> and a <a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sewing_icon.svg" target="_blank">sewing machine graphic</a>. To create this:<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Boy do I love Photoshop Elements. So addicting and fun! Just click on the picture and you can download this picture for yourself. Any other ideas to make instead of Sew On? </div><br />

He has always been into DIY stuff...just not the same kind as me. He is always making something for hiking, camping, or jeeping. And usually it involves stuff I have no interest in using or making. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But ladies and gentlemen....he is now obsessed with my new Silhouette machine. Him and my parents got me the machine and some vinyl as a graduation gift. I have used the Silhouette for other things, but hadn't gotten around to trying out the vinyl.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Last night I decided to break it out and play around and Mike all but stole the machine away from me.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The Pinterest Challenge was so much fun! There were so many great ideas and I was very inspired. I absolutely loved the gallery wall that Amber did over at <a href="http://www.willscasa.com/2012/07/putting-the-gallery-wall-up/" target="_blank">Wills Casa.</a> I have gathered up some old frames and pictures that I want to use and starting to work on a wall for our craft room. I am also going to use the Mini Pallet Sign from <a href="http://thejunkhouse.blogspot.com/2012/07/mini-pallet-sign.html" target="_blank">The Junk House</a>. I am very excited about this project.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Well here it is...my first major attempt at one of my pins on Pinterest! We made more trips to Home Depot than we really wanted to, but all in all it went pretty smooth for the first time. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGxBXdEPnTeAJ-SFa1N8AvMUTLAjH8LIJ3qYf3Dou3H8N31c4LgmR2gj5qpdI9Uv2utjASEXU97PFiVusHEOvcwToMsVpBeu0_Y6wD61yram8KogNT-sykLEsqyhOhA80RaPZIt3afQkQ/s1600/IMG_1723.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGxBXdEPnTeAJ-SFa1N8AvMUTLAjH8LIJ3qYf3Dou3H8N31c4LgmR2gj5qpdI9Uv2utjASEXU97PFiVusHEOvcwToMsVpBeu0_Y6wD61yram8KogNT-sykLEsqyhOhA80RaPZIt3afQkQ/s320/IMG_1723.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here was my inspiration:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://diy-vintage-chic.blogspot.com/2012/05/vintage-wine-crate-coffee-table.html" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJjYbJo2kNEhZjZ2916oJfy6cK2AwmRRarh802YirR1NABzMmwhXYFYRaOPjSwfIgkWvvWFrE-CfbSfQJ2gXldSvr24mrjrwMrzxcWiMY7e8OC3cGBZgJkEupK8SwZRnAaQST_AOEVYU8/s1600/coffee+table+inspiration.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Materials Needed:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">4 Crates - We got them at Joann's. They were $12, but we used a coupon and got them for $7.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Wood for the base - You will need to measure the crates to decide on length of cuts for the window frame base</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">4 L Brackets </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Wooden Dowels </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Wood Glue</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Stain</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Wood Screws</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBhxiJ9ltpFOtVZ8__ZT8grOLqvtpLUtzW_OB-WqU8g7f9EvzDLyboAqTAXAFlK6A0MOTovNivr9ZkPqAaXSfRu0jf0gB5XQ2VS8rKLvl9NYbd44rhFrFcSdPDF8AcejGmU6MRow1IswA/s1600/base.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBhxiJ9ltpFOtVZ8__ZT8grOLqvtpLUtzW_OB-WqU8g7f9EvzDLyboAqTAXAFlK6A0MOTovNivr9ZkPqAaXSfRu0jf0gB5XQ2VS8rKLvl9NYbd44rhFrFcSdPDF8AcejGmU6MRow1IswA/s320/base.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">First we set the crates together to stage them and take measurements for the base. We got 2 long boards cut at 27 inches, 3 at 21 inches, 2 at 9.5 inches. We got 1x3 pine boards, but what we didn't realize was that its not actually 3 inches wide. So our base isn't perfect but we learned for next time. Apparently there is a chart at Home Depot that explains this.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyVgV7vrBj_F4HFKyztbjHiwKj3WSwZs948ism-UyvHO5dGv3A1hs-qfW8lBpPiwcU_4GP0mbWq8x5-0DIcOz2IoP7uL4PInyAAMzzg5yZfNmxXYXvAdjeZzukRM10wjhfN6rNhLhoJhc/s1600/Home+Depot+Trip+Collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyVgV7vrBj_F4HFKyztbjHiwKj3WSwZs948ism-UyvHO5dGv3A1hs-qfW8lBpPiwcU_4GP0mbWq8x5-0DIcOz2IoP7uL4PInyAAMzzg5yZfNmxXYXvAdjeZzukRM10wjhfN6rNhLhoJhc/s320/Home+Depot+Trip+Collage.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So we were off to Home Depot for all (well we thought all) the supplies. Peyton was with us so it was definitely an event! We had some very nice guys help us out with the cutting and give some helpful tips.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQZrYOQZlmq_Vyc8j3l2Al6pi0b6L9t4AbwLFL_N08CxXNUCVPRrXJdT7sRhnopKyy_bVA7B95tSUlLOzFrISNGohyphenhyphenbqO3qq-7MVsagzNPoP20o-JF90HP5JqlnOhqaNwDELXfN6-cL_Q/s1600/Wood+Putty+Collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQZrYOQZlmq_Vyc8j3l2Al6pi0b6L9t4AbwLFL_N08CxXNUCVPRrXJdT7sRhnopKyy_bVA7B95tSUlLOzFrISNGohyphenhyphenbqO3qq-7MVsagzNPoP20o-JF90HP5JqlnOhqaNwDELXfN6-cL_Q/s320/Wood+Putty+Collage.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Next we mixed some wood putty to cover up the holes from the staples on the sides of the crate and set them to the side to dry.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid8OT9lzBAmek9qtFi16BcryTqm_Tg2zT2iIqTZk8SNbn0YFV_9rWwPUN5aFKzHkPM2AhJ050DK_uQgU2f8HO-eofQlesqkKeA3TazPOm_WJg-BStEpAfO55JWUIFHjAU0dnqE13VDDmA/s1600/Dowels+Collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid8OT9lzBAmek9qtFi16BcryTqm_Tg2zT2iIqTZk8SNbn0YFV_9rWwPUN5aFKzHkPM2AhJ050DK_uQgU2f8HO-eofQlesqkKeA3TazPOm_WJg-BStEpAfO55JWUIFHjAU0dnqE13VDDmA/s320/Dowels+Collage.jpg" width="224" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We used wooden dowels to attach the boards for the base to each other. This was definitely the most challenging step of the whole process! We did not perfect it and need more practice with this for sure. We lined the boards up with each other and marked where to drill our holes. When we put it all together we realized we got off somewhere so the base isn't squared up. We added L brackets to the corners to make it more secure.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhruDFlGyiueumVa3I2l0BXFhu4-QqDeZOYk9tHfk9-qH7SgSeN2GWARUTBKLRrdtvIzBPFF-sEFvylLZhNnPEoYQeXdTmDjNjfEZwOIFcQiTW-P5nat8nZLIVASZgJgrVWA2cj1BNhEPw/s1600/IMG_1703.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhruDFlGyiueumVa3I2l0BXFhu4-QqDeZOYk9tHfk9-qH7SgSeN2GWARUTBKLRrdtvIzBPFF-sEFvylLZhNnPEoYQeXdTmDjNjfEZwOIFcQiTW-P5nat8nZLIVASZgJgrVWA2cj1BNhEPw/s320/IMG_1703.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2UG3tB2UEM0ah7juXDh-jbXrIwd6C8UkwdUOiERLCmMYSqlOwdCcksSg9IIt47e0jLApKxKfJzB9U3zD8i3b-8qz3ZLb47Uvw8n4Ll-Wo0vfsFjw1t0HMJUXAnf_sbxSxX7bKjDc3qLs/s1600/Staining+Collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2UG3tB2UEM0ah7juXDh-jbXrIwd6C8UkwdUOiERLCmMYSqlOwdCcksSg9IIt47e0jLApKxKfJzB9U3zD8i3b-8qz3ZLb47Uvw8n4Ll-Wo0vfsFjw1t0HMJUXAnf_sbxSxX7bKjDc3qLs/s320/Staining+Collage.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The wood putty had dried and the crates were ready to be sanded and stained. We just lightly sanded the wood putty areas and to make sure there weren't any areas with splinters. This was mine and my mom's first attempt at ever staining something. Its a lot easier than what I thought it would be. Besides the mess, I think I like it better than painting. We really loved the way the color turned out. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9qEJbQm8k5Ggm-foHPrcopxjGIKTd_7zLwHKgBPZwD7xT7BGRdGcLGxT4WaSCOKPpjO1DAY2dlAwtVz2nyetNnjFlWJz_8SnELC0FzuVMn2bNMoJQ3B54k-qRx1U4vK0Lrb2TNpUqCuU/s1600/Ratchet+Collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="161" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9qEJbQm8k5Ggm-foHPrcopxjGIKTd_7zLwHKgBPZwD7xT7BGRdGcLGxT4WaSCOKPpjO1DAY2dlAwtVz2nyetNnjFlWJz_8SnELC0FzuVMn2bNMoJQ3B54k-qRx1U4vK0Lrb2TNpUqCuU/s320/Ratchet+Collage.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After the stain has dried we put the crates back together to screw them in. We used a ratchet to make sure they stayed still while we were drilling.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPpp2bCOu8xJC0gLs-kfgv3pQRb_hYQNmSbv7bpqpDtozBMluWrjzw_xBtufsflhJxkrZV6d72GerAC4TYM00XGpT1EPoH64i3O_LjVJW7pOaB3D7YoVutjzs4uQPxTjrHgpkRLHlbikc/s1600/Countersink+Collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPpp2bCOu8xJC0gLs-kfgv3pQRb_hYQNmSbv7bpqpDtozBMluWrjzw_xBtufsflhJxkrZV6d72GerAC4TYM00XGpT1EPoH64i3O_LjVJW7pOaB3D7YoVutjzs4uQPxTjrHgpkRLHlbikc/s320/Countersink+Collage.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After talking with the guy at Home Depot, we decided to countersink the screws so that it looked a little more professional. That means that the screw will be sunk into the wood so that you can putty it and hide the screw. This was very intimidating because it required a new tool. But again we found out it was not hard at all. We used the countersink tool to drill a hole and then put the screw in. Ta-da...we know how to countersink!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFcLBpYhcKzAkCcAccDXumz4lcFfHdQHGnxg-6B6hz07NA5hHRhg9gYQpHYG4mtVTWgJ52e0KVYczdFOvnSxj76popdwv1gvj78eITT4vn9q7PYNNk6iWxnks9squviLSEDMpOPoJOHj8/s1600/Box+Collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFcLBpYhcKzAkCcAccDXumz4lcFfHdQHGnxg-6B6hz07NA5hHRhg9gYQpHYG4mtVTWgJ52e0KVYczdFOvnSxj76popdwv1gvj78eITT4vn9q7PYNNk6iWxnks9squviLSEDMpOPoJOHj8/s320/Box+Collage.jpg" width="224" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Next to fill in that hole....this was another difficult part. You definitely need to measure twice (or 4 times) and cut once. We had to cut twice. Measure the inside and then simply put the screws in the same way we did before on the sides then screw the bottom pieces on. Next we attached the base to the crates and stained the box. Then we polyurethaned the whole thing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpHEdVS3L5BUnwayV74sY4b-jbhF033BJiecaBVEmyTQrgww4me8JECN42PiB6rmUYUz0pjuSU5PzDN1trOSKWeWIudJgHtCmzlv-015GuoInSdL-4mot3e0NnWEYNkob4v9bwxuGiIQ8/s1600/IMG_1726.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpHEdVS3L5BUnwayV74sY4b-jbhF033BJiecaBVEmyTQrgww4me8JECN42PiB6rmUYUz0pjuSU5PzDN1trOSKWeWIudJgHtCmzlv-015GuoInSdL-4mot3e0NnWEYNkob4v9bwxuGiIQ8/s320/IMG_1726.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And here is our final product! My inspiration had more sophisticated things in the crates, but we liked this coffee table because it would give us some more space for all of Peyton's things. Help us keep it off the floor easily.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZy2vWmboEMgqsh8LMDw1aY8wGIChqeL1LJ2F4XvLXVI-Bt3lyuQqekYkYY2tddCAbP7Y-Egm5rNfUOE8VZwWKmMbIeDYlgBSr2nHqqeMiVVbcJrMRmjfM_YudX9ELlADTUK2ZdvRkL6o/s1600/IMG_1725.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZy2vWmboEMgqsh8LMDw1aY8wGIChqeL1LJ2F4XvLXVI-Bt3lyuQqekYkYY2tddCAbP7Y-Egm5rNfUOE8VZwWKmMbIeDYlgBSr2nHqqeMiVVbcJrMRmjfM_YudX9ELlADTUK2ZdvRkL6o/s320/IMG_1725.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Ok so maybe the stuff isn't going to stay off the floor for very long....but we have a place to put it when she goes to bed!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I am in love with doing wood projects now!!

My friend over at <a href="http://www.willscasa.com/" target="_blank">Wills Casa</a> reviews her goals each month and I felt inspired to do the same (her blog is amazing by the way and you should definitely check it out). <br />
<br />
I had several things that I wanted to do over the summer. Some have happened.....others will hopefully happen soon!<br />
<br />
1. Read lots of books for fun since all of my Master's classes are done. I have done pretty good with this one so far. I read all of the 50 Shades of Grey books and I just started book 5 of the Sookie Stackhouse series. <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">2. Get together with friends more often and have our kids play together------This one has been a little difficult with everyone's different schedules. Peyton did get to hang out with Ramona (from Wills Casa) and they had a blast. We need to have more play dates :) We also have a playdate planned with another friend next week. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">3. Plan some fun projects with Peyton------Another that needs to be worked on. We have been out of town and then I had a school conference to go to last week.

I found this <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/229683649716504052/" target="_blank">pin</a> though and I am going to try and make it this weekend! I am very excited about it. We will see how much it looks like the picture ;) <a href="http://www.willscasa.com/" target="_blank">Wills Casa</a> (I know I seem like a stalker) also had a link to a <a href="http://www.younghouselove.com/2012/07/its-baaaaaaack/" target="_blank">Pinterest Challenge</a> and I think I may have to join in to help give me a push to actually make it! Anyone else want to join in?</div><br />

It's called the Aubrey and came from a great shop on Etsy called Ruby Jean's Closet. If you are a sewer, I highly recommend that you check out her <a href="http://www.rubyjeanscloset.etsy.com/" target="_blank">shop</a>. <div><br />
</div><div>Did I tell you that we've also decided to start ordering fabric to sell? We've got a new shop - Little Bunny Supplies with 6 bolts of fabric. Not much yet, but we hope to steadily add to the supply and sell at a very reasonable price. The dress is made from 2 of the fabrics we have in stock from Riley Blake, called Indian Summer. I just love it!! What do you think? </div><div><br />

And of course everything had to be named especially for Mickey Mouse Clubhouse since that's Peyton's favorite show!<br />
<div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We decided to have both cupcakes and a cake because to get the cake I wanted was way too expensive to get it big enough for everyone. Plus I have recently become addicted to the new cupcake place by our house :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTwinVvXTDYAV89N4bRRXfNnU_-vUPEhGXWzQDwlZPAC52QgpdZpLmQCcy4Uwv_8kG0kB3n3Eyc2nn3b1s2IiOdja31ZiBL69SKnnf9boVMVqh-tQ3Sb7f0jKApSNIwDRMdyEUoLCDJMY/s1600/IMG_0970.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTwinVvXTDYAV89N4bRRXfNnU_-vUPEhGXWzQDwlZPAC52QgpdZpLmQCcy4Uwv_8kG0kB3n3Eyc2nn3b1s2IiOdja31ZiBL69SKnnf9boVMVqh-tQ3Sb7f0jKApSNIwDRMdyEUoLCDJMY/s320/IMG_0970.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The cake turned out absolutely fantastic! I got the idea for the cupcake <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/229683649715899155/" target="_blank">here</a>. <a href="http://sweetcrumbsbakeryshop.com/" target="_blank">Sweet Crumbs Bakery</a> did great with the picture.</div><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq0QfcjggBWtHHM7wr5B1d7txLCbSCi3Q4-3dlJVMI596o5inrDqpODfiCi0MI9inIhpAVIZqwHBiTsx_yirfsVru2v6IXAHh3BzAIp8Ee0FU5aVDwWcuzZ-LJAGvjPhArHeKA6PC_zRM/s1600/IMG_0972.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq0QfcjggBWtHHM7wr5B1d7txLCbSCi3Q4-3dlJVMI596o5inrDqpODfiCi0MI9inIhpAVIZqwHBiTsx_yirfsVru2v6IXAHh3BzAIp8Ee0FU5aVDwWcuzZ-LJAGvjPhArHeKA6PC_zRM/s320/IMG_0972.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The cupcakes were from <a href="http://kristenscupcakery.com/" target="_blank">Kristen's Cupcakery</a>. They were strawberry lemonade and so delicious. They were definitely the hit of the party. I had originally ordered 1 dozen I thought, but when I went to pick them up there were 2 dozen. I was very happy about that by the end of the party because there were only 3 left! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuBrTmdn0GMbzKtvh3T83b6g4iwyXnBYoVSoY8Jmkdsq03cAmpO53DlzEkrPAQH1BSH3je4FR6yz7uXHLDrv-HeCG1cmrouq2OLssdSTH7EQVt_bQAymqS1eEAviNXRwhqO6yFGsGkOBg/s1600/IMG_0975.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuBrTmdn0GMbzKtvh3T83b6g4iwyXnBYoVSoY8Jmkdsq03cAmpO53DlzEkrPAQH1BSH3je4FR6yz7uXHLDrv-HeCG1cmrouq2OLssdSTH7EQVt_bQAymqS1eEAviNXRwhqO6yFGsGkOBg/s320/IMG_0975.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For lunch we decided to have hot dogs because of the song on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and because they are one of Peyton's favorites. We called them "Hot Diggity Dogs". They were so simple and delicious, just hot dogs wrapped in crescent rolls.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz4NdO94Lo6woSMYmiDJDDDKiNotkgKQaF99zc8b0sowDAvaipg-HswaEXGKEwjVlk3euYSxYsvsvFAUMyMLMvXaAnPps1UhJ8vyesJuA_AD0YBlAUauYGjQALxLqXz75coddN7c5hiuk/s1600/IMG_0976.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz4NdO94Lo6woSMYmiDJDDDKiNotkgKQaF99zc8b0sowDAvaipg-HswaEXGKEwjVlk3euYSxYsvsvFAUMyMLMvXaAnPps1UhJ8vyesJuA_AD0YBlAUauYGjQALxLqXz75coddN7c5hiuk/s320/IMG_0976.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For the drink we had pink lemonade. I found the straws and milk bottles on Etsy and then I made the labels. Vwry simple and the kids loved drinking out of them. They especially loved that they could take them home. I overheard several kids saying they were going to use cups like these at their parties ;)</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkVo_HvsxMWcVWHSIed2-ARjezZXQB9NXdrqjwNSjZevBtQVCb1RxDNtaxSml4m_W2KoMEgWEf8TBgygnFVQ3o9J5x08j0GT9X303QCrD5lKk4KKYtkTRv70B_5tCMhYcUmprATcE2h0k/s1600/IMG_0977.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkVo_HvsxMWcVWHSIed2-ARjezZXQB9NXdrqjwNSjZevBtQVCb1RxDNtaxSml4m_W2KoMEgWEf8TBgygnFVQ3o9J5x08j0GT9X303QCrD5lKk4KKYtkTRv70B_5tCMhYcUmprATcE2h0k/s320/IMG_0977.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We also had some<a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/229683649716149804/" target="_blank"> little smokies wrapped in bacon</a> that we called "Pete's Little Smokies". Also another hit. I think I could have stood by this bowl the whole party and been happy!</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHFAF4bqF0HufbbTvoxdYYbf64QIyeta4kkK42DXzgn-ZKYFrXeUKBKZqgs4mDCC2KDgmpj0YEShCrlvE9cjbjRIb1wNJVUZHxhYGncbGWym7HHmrwOJXYy52YRuI_12iDEEutFSZIjZY/s1600/IMG_0978.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHFAF4bqF0HufbbTvoxdYYbf64QIyeta4kkK42DXzgn-ZKYFrXeUKBKZqgs4mDCC2KDgmpj0YEShCrlvE9cjbjRIb1wNJVUZHxhYGncbGWym7HHmrwOJXYy52YRuI_12iDEEutFSZIjZY/s320/IMG_0978.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Another one of Peyton's favorites is a plain old sandwich so we decided to have "Clubhouse Sandwiches". Very simple....simply lay out all the fixins for a sandwich and you're good to go. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We also had "Minnie Mac and Cheese" but somehow I forgot to take a picture. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Stay Tuned for Part 3 </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">To see all the fun activities we had for the kids!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

She was very sick on the day she was suppose to have her party so we had to cancel. So this we year I just had to go all out. She is obsessed with all things Minnie and Mickey and we are heading to Disney World later this week, so we thought it was very appropriate to have a Minnie Mouse birthday party. In part 1 I will show all of the decorations that we did. Then in part 2 and 3 I will show you the foods we ate and the activities we had for the kiddos.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL7imGx8JPL3lITEGLg6zxcF0vea83O-9kGBh3q1QhIclG0dqmgWv_OGaMCRIbarSys5E4Y3uzVKjuQ15LzfucjcudSq-dxxFhcNQqxGbOtrGszArO55KA6faWjaX7GirpV9qh5cAxd_g/s1600/IMG_0967.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL7imGx8JPL3lITEGLg6zxcF0vea83O-9kGBh3q1QhIclG0dqmgWv_OGaMCRIbarSys5E4Y3uzVKjuQ15LzfucjcudSq-dxxFhcNQqxGbOtrGszArO55KA6faWjaX7GirpV9qh5cAxd_g/s320/IMG_0967.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">On the mantle I put a banner that I made that said "Happy Birthday". I got the idea from the <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/229683649716275596/">pin</a>. I used my awesome Silhouette Cameo that I got as a graduation gift when I finished my Master's. Then I tied strips of hot pink tulle between each banner piece. On top of the mantle I put a vase and flowers that I found at Hobby Lobby.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn0sbPEZSxbFcfmf3PK_PefQGxLgaDERmJLcU8DIE9_ot5L6g_mUS-oeZoR8P_N6c235gKjB8k3vHzWOqdYc31sqQ0ymsNWfpxiExbrRGzMj8KM3_dBMNlYm9ShkxxLOx4ID5Ha64Bwh0/s1600/IMG_0968.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn0sbPEZSxbFcfmf3PK_PefQGxLgaDERmJLcU8DIE9_ot5L6g_mUS-oeZoR8P_N6c235gKjB8k3vHzWOqdYc31sqQ0ymsNWfpxiExbrRGzMj8KM3_dBMNlYm9ShkxxLOx4ID5Ha64Bwh0/s320/IMG_0968.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I wanted to make special bags for the boys and girls so the girls got a Minnie bag and the boys got a Mickey bag. Inside there were several Mickey Mouse Clubhouse goodies. And I locked out and got them from the Dollar Tree. They had a great selection of stuff for the kids. Originally I had gone to Party City, but I was able to get more stuff for the kids at Dollar Tree.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5344io9oZixqrb97N9pk74OKo3Oq7IgsrhebXrNspbZXA_kZXzPyG0IW_pOHaWWZYZFhsXr-rDm4T780ZNRqlrFmPk-i62XE3l-22kQ9M8pDtLnpFNu3LOG7tiXeNCJipk7WMUCSGWLI/s1600/IMG_0969.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5344io9oZixqrb97N9pk74OKo3Oq7IgsrhebXrNspbZXA_kZXzPyG0IW_pOHaWWZYZFhsXr-rDm4T780ZNRqlrFmPk-i62XE3l-22kQ9M8pDtLnpFNu3LOG7tiXeNCJipk7WMUCSGWLI/s320/IMG_0969.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I got this little sign from Hobby Lobby as well. I found this play on words somewhere on pinterest and loved it.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl_gs_MqYO3Xbb3ZqYvOXE2e9lx97tRA6JfE4fuQyXJPKLqrnQBfqSrUekgS-BTL0b0WT_7zOHJzzbBqzpMzIOKDUrq0dqNryujcrdaUI1QbWdkhg48niml8fXecNkLW3fHn1ELILylAA/s1600/IMG_0973.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl_gs_MqYO3Xbb3ZqYvOXE2e9lx97tRA6JfE4fuQyXJPKLqrnQBfqSrUekgS-BTL0b0WT_7zOHJzzbBqzpMzIOKDUrq0dqNryujcrdaUI1QbWdkhg48niml8fXecNkLW3fHn1ELILylAA/s320/IMG_0973.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We decided to spruce up the kitchen with these lovely curtains. Also found this fabric at Hobby Lobby and at the last minute. We saw it and just had to get it. They were absolutely perfect for the party and super easy to make. 2 quick straight stitches across the top and bottom.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA_q8Kogpl1B14KY1i5dyz3EGgPyeWJf1m3xPv_L2MEF4us8w_FK1fJjDX7B0JuWRf_VHziwj_nWOPSQyBxbTOS7ByCIms_6b5dcdXHi3nVg9DcaeS0mXjKDPSM5kcEpqI60eYOkpN0hc/s1600/IMG_0974.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA_q8Kogpl1B14KY1i5dyz3EGgPyeWJf1m3xPv_L2MEF4us8w_FK1fJjDX7B0JuWRf_VHziwj_nWOPSQyBxbTOS7ByCIms_6b5dcdXHi3nVg9DcaeS0mXjKDPSM5kcEpqI60eYOkpN0hc/s320/IMG_0974.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I loved the banner so much that I made one for the table too. This one said "Peyton is 2". I also made some black, hot pink, and light pink tissue pom poms. You can find the tutorial for making these <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/how-to/tissue-paper-pom-poms-how-to">here.</a> In the back we have special Minnie Mouse and Mickey Mouse plates that we got from Target for only $3 each. We also made a styrofoam Minnie head to put in a planter. I got the idea for this <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/229683649715968178/" target="_blank">here</a>. It was pretty simple to make and pretty cheap. We already had the planter sitting around the house so all we needed were the styrofoam balls, a wooden dowel, and we used modeling clay to stick the big dowel into the planter with. We then stuck the styrofoam balls together with the dowels and spray painted them black. Then we spray painted the planter hot pink, let it all dry, and added the bow.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We have been sewing nonstop since we found out that we were accepted. We've also been searching everywhere for pictures of other craft fair booths for inspiration and ideas. We went garage saling this past weekend to look for some things to use to display our product. Look for our post this weekend to show all the great things we found and what we plan to do with them. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

This visit seems brand new. We will be taking Peyton for the 1st time. She will be celebrating her 2nd Birthday with Mickey. We have been busy deciding what days for each park & making reservations. We've got Chef Mickey & Epcot Breakfast with the Princesses planned. We've also got Dessert for Wishes at Magic Kingdom. Who knows how much time we will spend in the parks... this is Peyton's week. <br />

For the day we want something cool but Mickey / Disney design and Princess attire in the evening. It will be June, so we need to make sure the dresses in the evening are not too hot. The little dress is an idea of what we are thinking for the day... cool and comfy. I really need a cute pattern for a Princess dress that is not too frilly...

I am back on and I am going to continue trying to meet this goal. <br />
<br />
I recently got aquainted with Photoshop and am now obsessed! It has been so much fun learning how to make different things with it. I have made some printable valentines cards.<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I think that all of these goals are definitely attainable, but we are going to have to work hard. No more 3 week breaks from the shop and promoting the shop. I think one of the biggest things that will help us to reach these goals is to become better organized...which is one of my favorite things to do so that shouldn't be too hard. What are your new year's resolutions? Have any suggestions that might help us reach ours?</div>Little Bunny SueSuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17775680768125844806noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784363356718157353.post-36769581255285128282012-01-03T12:11:00.000-08:002012-01-04T18:59:52.580-08:00Yummy Things from Pinterest I finally tried 2 of the recipes that I pinned on Pinterest and they were amazing!!! The first thing I made was the sopapilla cheesecake. It was so easy and tasted delicious.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgt92cjN5jcNqZIlEnWo1YQBNWgFq-EwblxCM_qEDmIjmpuJ06l2cCv8PEO_ObjY7MXBEV0m6xvRXUrq5NZvi2ztqeOZ5CyxRiSYqhnsp-CQ-3PqV0qWocHHamallzTCK6VomvUv2wk7A/s1600/IMG_0063.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgt92cjN5jcNqZIlEnWo1YQBNWgFq-EwblxCM_qEDmIjmpuJ06l2cCv8PEO_ObjY7MXBEV0m6xvRXUrq5NZvi2ztqeOZ5CyxRiSYqhnsp-CQ-3PqV0qWocHHamallzTCK6VomvUv2wk7A/s320/IMG_0063.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkvQh4AXNDVM3oUAE9JJNEz202Sk2NqT64DIyqL7tIoSsV_Mfg7eAwMLPcFtv_mDwfEyTRTi14aky-m1Gdhpwrn7Nl4vxi-HHAvHEZdKSIzjOzVJ3r_hQbQIKMhgjbXJGdResa6vXfeqs/s1600/IMG_0066.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkvQh4AXNDVM3oUAE9JJNEz202Sk2NqT64DIyqL7tIoSsV_Mfg7eAwMLPcFtv_mDwfEyTRTi14aky-m1Gdhpwrn7Nl4vxi-HHAvHEZdKSIzjOzVJ3r_hQbQIKMhgjbXJGdResa6vXfeqs/s320/IMG_0066.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I wasn't even able to get a picture of it before cutting into and trying it!! I definitely will not be able to make this very often because it is not on the diet plan for losing weight though. You can check out the recipe for this dish <a href="http://cookiesandcups.com/sopapilla-cheesecake/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+cookiesandcups+%28cookies+and+cups%29">here.</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I also made these wonton taco cups for dinner that night as well. Again, such a super easy and delicious meal. It was so nice to make something for dinner that did not take forever but was new and fresh!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjctnXbHYl1lZ40729-8HBiniIpnuRPuwoDAy83JrG5Evj2JOLusvo6Z0Fr0GhFFueHiygbWa7m0zQ5rrupu2X5E0lgl2QJO6XL6g4E2HvpeHw9rpdYs9zWZzkQYe5tRqEGslvNtU4sj0k/s1600/IMG_0064.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjctnXbHYl1lZ40729-8HBiniIpnuRPuwoDAy83JrG5Evj2JOLusvo6Z0Fr0GhFFueHiygbWa7m0zQ5rrupu2X5E0lgl2QJO6XL6g4E2HvpeHw9rpdYs9zWZzkQYe5tRqEGslvNtU4sj0k/s320/IMG_0064.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Its a great party food. I had 1 lb of beef and 1 can of beans and it made 24 taco cups. It didn't take long to make and was pretty cheap. I think this will be on our menu list at our next get together. You can find the recipe for this dish <a href="http://www.plainchicken.com/2011/07/taco-cupcakes.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+blogspot%2FwJJTP+%28Plain+Chicken%29&utm_content=Google+Reader">here.</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

It is has been a long time since I have been on here to write a new post. This past semester in school has been crazy for both me and my mom. Now that my break is here though I have had some time to relax. It is time to hit the pavement on making more products!!<br />
<br />
I wrote earlier about making a play kitchen for Peyton out of an old entertainment center. Well we got a late start but we finished most of it for her to play with on Christmas Eve!! This picture isn't great but will have to do for now. I will take some better pictures with my brand new camera that I got for Christmas.<br />

We planned a field trip for our first graders on Monday to a place called Mainstay Farm. They will get to see a real working farm, make their own scarecrow, and play in a huge treehouse! But we didn't know if we would actually be able to go until Friday. Our district came out with new rules for field trips and gave them out last week. We already had everything in line with permission slips and money. Then we found out we had to email someone else in the district to get their approval. It all worked out in the end though and I hope the kids have a blast.<br />

Next week will be crazy too! We have the field trip on Monday, then I am out Thursday and Friday for a conference. I am going to a literacy conference that I will be presenting at during one of the breakout sessions. My friend was originally suppose to present, but found out she had to be somewhere else so she asked me if I wanted the opportunity. I was so excited to get the chance to present and put this on my resume. But I am also terrified because I have never presented in front of this many people before. Hopefully everything goes smooth!Little Bunny SueSuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17775680768125844806noreply@blogger.com0
