My Stampin' Up Month

This month was my month to be the 'hostess' as part of my stampin' up club. I love our club and the many cute ideas that come out of it! These are the really cute Christmas projects that my demonstrator put together! You should check out Shelly's craft blog at http://mystampstuff.blogspot.com/. It is all SUPER cute!

As part of being hostess I was in charge of treats. These are called cocoa mels, they are a toasted coconut, carmel, chocolate delight! I had a lot of fun at stamps this month!

This weekend we also went to one of our family Christmas parties where we did a cookie exchange. I had doubled the batch and made the cookies pictured above. It was a lot of fun! We brought 24 cookies and left with 20 different cookies!!! I saw a new side of my husband while all of the adults played musical chairs. It was with great thought that the adults played their own game and the kids played their own game. I think that the adults got way more into it than the kids!!!

Parties & Apples

Here is a crafty post for you! I needed to take something to a pot luck, so I decided on my famous caramel apples. Here are a few pictures: I did M&M, all chocolate deluxe, butterfinger, apple pie, coconut and symphony. Yummy!

Also this week I worked on invitations for a baby shower. I thought the final project turned out pretty cute! I'm super excited to see my good friend Susan come up from Las Vegas.

Here are a few of my favorites put together!

Catching Up...

Sorry it's been a while since I blogged last. I pulled up all of our pictures and here we go!

A couple weeks ago we went to Bear Lake Raspberry Days. This is a picture of Craig wearing an $80.00 'Indiana Jones' hat. Needless to say with school getting ready to start there are many better ways to spend $80.00.

This weekend I went to IKEA. I know my brother in law hates it but I absolutely loved it! This was my first time there. I went with my step-mom and spent 3 hours there! I bought some really cute pillows for our living room and material to make a few more. When I have them all finished pictures will come. I am NOT having a baby but I loved this idea and had to take a picture of it. This is a wall from a nursery display. It has a family tree on it. I thought it was cool.

Stamp night is my favorite Thursday night ever! I love stampin' up and I love have fun with the girls. I can't believe that my friend and demonstrator said she didn't know what we were doing that night and I came home with these 3 beautiful cards that I made! I am so excited to get my order from this new catalog!!!

I saw this idea in another blog and decided to give it a try for my dad's birthday. This first picture is a crumbled cake mix mixed with one can of frosting. After that you roll them into small balls to fit a candy mold.

In the bottom of the candy mold you fill 3/4 way with melted chocolate almond bark and let it set up.

After that you color white almond bark and dip the top of the cake ball and decorate it however you would like. I chose sprinkles and m&m's. Here they are in a candy box. That's how I gave them to my dad.

I made 2 batches one with funfetti cake mix and one with devil's cake mix. We took a bite of each one so you can see what they look like. They are YUMMY!

About

Craig and I have been married for a little over 2 years. When we aren't working or going to school we like to play 'Lost Cities', cook together, go for walks, watch movies and eat ice cream. We have a pretty low key life. One day we'd like to have a family. For now I have a camera. :-) If you are interested in checking out my photography site please visit www.belindaolsen.com I specialize in newborn, toddler, children and family photography.
