23 days and counting....

Until the LSU football season, that is. If you are like most from around these parts, you knew that already.

Here is a cake we recently did for a young boy.

The football is made out of rice cereal treats and covered in fondant. We also gave our cricut a good workout with this cake. It cut the tiger stripes, tiger eyes and the lettering.

Hope you had a great birthday Ryan!



Dang This Heat!

In order to keep cool these last few weeks I've decided to stay indoors.  Wow .... triple digit temps are unbearable!  Good time to get some of those "put off" projects done and stay cool at the same time!  Here are a few -

These are cookies I made for my Dad.  His comment when I gave them to him "Oh, John Deere Cookies"!  That was enough to make me happy.  With his health not the best and his age, 87, I was not sure what kind of response I would receive. 

Just love this tray I got on sale at Hobby Lobby.  But it was plain and thought it needed a little something.  So out came the cricut to "dress" it up a bit.

I made this chalk board from a 16" x 20" sheet of wood I purchased at Lowe's.  After attending early church service on Sunday mornings we love to sit and drink coffee in our newly added sun room.  I decided the sun room would be the perfect place to hang my chalk board.  Each week I like to add a spiritual, motivational or inspirational quote.

With this heat not letting up any I think I'll remain indoors and complete a few more projects.
