Makin' Whoopie...


i have seriously been in a baking mood these past few days. i'm not really sure why i am wanting to bake all the time because jake and i both are doing weight watchers (and pretty well might i add). luckily, we have lots of college guys around that will come over and eat whatever it is that i make. monday, i made (and decorated) a cake. it wasn't the prettiest thing i've ever seen but i was decently proud about it. last night i made reverse chocolate chip cookies, and they were pretty delish. today though....i made heart shaped red velvet whoopie pies. i got the idea from pizzazzerie. they were lots of fun to make and i took lots of pictures to make you all want to come over and let me bake you something. :)



they look a little bit like poop shaped into a heart. but...i think they are still cute :)
heres the recipe for those who might want to try it. the cream cheese frosting in the middle is the best!

Goonies never say die!


Hello Friends...I'm just sitting in my nice comfy apartment watching the goonies with some of my favorite folks. I know I said I was going to start doing this blog thing...but I just haven't kept up with it very well now have I? I guess it will be one of my many new years resolutions....

Today I have something fun. A CRAFT! I found this fun project over at Craftaholics Anonymous and I just had to do it.

i started with a gold frame that i found at the thrift store for 75 cents. i painted it with some off white acrylic paint i had sitting around the house...


then, i went into my closet and found some old shirts that i don't wear anymore.


i cut up the tshirts (from the armpit down) into 1/2 inch strips and wrapped it around some cardboard that i cut into a 'c' shape


and ta daa!!!



a fun door decoration :)



hopefully it won't be another 3 months before i do this again.
well. live long and prosper, friends.
