Vampire Blood Lollipops
Do you love vampires - Ohh Edward Cullen!!!! Well here is a fun recipe that you can make for the upcoming Twilight New Moon opening on November 20th. Make them for all your friends to get in the Edward - Twilight New Moon sprite!

Vampire Blood Lollipops

2009-10-28T20:28:00.012-04:00

Does the sight of blood make you sick? Well here is a super easy recipe that you can make for your next Halloween party.

Makes about 12 lollipops

2 cups sugar
2/3 cup light corn syrup
red food coloring
white lollipops stick - you can find them at your local craft store.

You can even add flavor oils like peppermint or strawberry if you like.

Step 1

Bring sugar, corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring until all the sugar is dissolved completely. If you have a candy thermometer it will register 300 degrees to 310 degrees (hard-crack stage), 5 to 7 minutes.

While the sugar is boiling lay out your lollipop sticks onto a silicon baking mat ( I put my baking mat onto a cookie sheet to make it easier to move around and a nice hard level surface).

Step 2

Once you have placed your lollipop sticks down - Fill a larger pot with ice water. When your sugar mixture is ready - 300 degrees to 310 degrees, immediately set the pan into ice-water bath to stop the cooking (syrup will steam vigorously - be careful of the steam); let sit about 25 seconds. Swirl pan 1 minutes more to cool - it while still be bubbling, that's OK .

Step 3

Working very quickly, pour syrup onto the silicon baking sheets, forming circles (2 to 31/2 inches in diameter) and spacing pours about 3 inches apart - then press in lollipop sticks. I went very randomly - wherever there was space I made a lollipop.

The fun part:
With the red food coloring - squirt a few drops in to each lollipop (I would do one at a time to make it easier to work with), using one of the lollipop sticks drags the stick through some of the food coloring to get the desired look for the "blood". I add a few more drops to the blood coagulated look.

Let stand for about 5 - 10 minutes for the sugar to harden completely.

Now - go out there and share your blood lollipops.

Easy Faux Pearl Necklace Made of Cornstarch Clay

2009-05-11T19:56:00.006-04:00

Here is a super fun and easy Faux Pearl Necklace that you can make with just 3 ingredients you have in your pantry. A great rainy day afternoon for the kids or a serious jewerly junky.

Step 1

Measure out your pantry ingredients:

1 cup of water

1.5 cups of salt - table salt

1 cup of corn starch

1 mixing bowl and spoon

To put the entire necklace together you will need 1 long needle, strong thread and a fancy metal clasp.

Step 2

Add you water and salt and bring to a boil. I like when the salt has almost dissolved completely. Once you have a good boil turn down the heat and quickly add the cornstarch. Start to stir - almost like magic the cornstarch will overtake the water and form a sticky paste - keep stirring.

Step 3

Spoon a good size amount of dough out of the cooking pot and add to a mixing bowl *** remember this dough is going to be really hot so please do not touch it yet. Add some more corn starch and stir away.

Step 4

Once the dough has cooled you can start to mold and shape in your hands. You might want to add more cornstarch to get the right consistency that you desire.

Step 5

Now you can start to roll out the little pearls to make your necklace. You can even add some food coloring to make different color pearls - so much fun.

Step 6

Once you have all your pearls rolled out - using a good size needle poke a hole throught each one. Let them all dry for about 48 hours so they can get hard. Once dried, you will be able to use the needle with thread and sew your pearls together to make your necklace and/or bracelet. Have fun with making all kinds of jewerly - this clay can be molded to make almost anything and it is so easy to make.

How to make a wallet out of an 8 Track Cassette Tape
A "how to" on turning an old 8 Track Cassette Tape into a useful wallet - super fun and very easy to do. Next time you are shopping at your local thrift store - grab yourself a 8 track tape and make your self this fun wallet.

How to make a wallet from an 8 track cassette

2009-02-12T13:39:00.017-05:00

Super easy to make and so much fun - have fun and enjoy!

Here is a list of what you will need to make this wallet

- 8 track

- hot glue gun

- fabric

- pliers

- long zipper

First you will use your pliers to open up the 8 track - once open remove the music tape. With your pliers try and remove some of the ugly plastic from the inside. It will make it much nicer to close and to add your items.

Use the fabric to trace the outside edge - then cut out leaving enough on the edge of the fabric to turn under.

Using your trusty hot glue gun - glue the zipper to all edges of the 8 track.

Once you have finished glueing the zipper to both sides use the fabric to line the insides of the 8 track with your hot glue gun - it will hide any flaws that might have happened while glueing the sides and the inside of the 8 track.

Then you are done - put your favorite lipstick and some change inside and you are on your way!!!

Enjoy!

For the blood of the Bullfinch

2009-02-08T23:05:00.005-05:00

My husband was in a play at his High School where he is the Assistant Principal. He had the staring role - very first time on stage. I was so proud. “For the blood of the Bullfinch”. I helped him with his stage makeup - he had to look like an old man.
Day 8

Spoons From Afar

2009-02-07T21:25:00.004-05:00

This project took 2 days - I had to let the glue dry overnight- stupid long drying glue. When my grandmother passed away she left all of her spoons from her many travels to me. They have been sitting in a plastic bag. I decided to take them out and display them Martha Stewart Style ( or I think this is how Martha would have displayed them herself.)

Day Glow

2009-02-05T22:59:00.003-05:00

I took my glow worms from my toy collection 1980’s Christmas past outside - they haven’t seen day-lite in a while so I thought I could super charge them with the sun. They were one of my favorite toys from my past. My pictures are titled Day Glow.

Who had Glow Worms when they were little???

Thing a day 4

If you know me you would know that I am horrified of sharks - don't ask me why? So I just found this amazing little tea infuser that made me giggle with fright and I wanted to share. Sharky is designed by Pablo Matteoda.

Minnie Pearl Necklace

2009-02-03T17:53:00.005-05:00

Today I was really struggling with what to make - that’s a problem with only 3 days into it right?
So I went to my Magical Mysterious Lot of Goodies and found the not so used yard sale tags ( I was planning a yard sale 3 years ago and never used them ). For what ever reason my grandmother popped into my head and I remembered her favorite TV show when I was younger Hee-Hah. Minnie Pearl was her favorite character on the show, So I dedicated this necklace to my grandmother - The Minnie Pearl Necklace. Now the question is will I actually wear this out in public - I must find the perfect outfit to match!

I "Heart" My Dishes

2009-02-01T22:52:00.005-05:00

Here is my very first project for Thing A Day 3 - I Heart My Dishes. I wanted to buy a new dish sponge today and while I was looking at all of the square sponges in the store I was inspired to make my own. Square is so boring and with Valentines Day just around the corner I decided to make a heart themed sponge.

To make here is what you will need:
- pink wash cloth or hand towel
- sissors
- needle and thread
- paper and pen
Here I used a pink washcloth that I had hiding in the back of my linen closet. Cut out a perfect heart shape out of paper to make the pattern then place it on the towel to cut out - leave enough around the edge for seam allowance. I hand stiched around the edges about 1/4 inch - turned right side out and stuffed with the scraps of washcloth. Finish off the open end then fluff to get your perfect shape. Now for the entire month of February I will use my themed dish sponge and say "I Heart My Dishes"

Thing-a-day 3

2009-01-20T10:55:00.006-05:00

Last year I participated for the entire month of February on a creative site - Thing-a-day.

Where over 1418 people sighed up who made over 6,585 things with over 6,690 comments! The object of the site is to knit cook draw paint tape solder write install destroy invent or document for the entire month of February. Each week we were given a theme to help us create then we would post what we made.

Now last year I was not very creative and I only came up with 2 "things" for the entire month, however this year I am taking a personal creative vow that I will follow through each and every day to make something new.

Here is what I made last year

Will you take that personal vow with me?

I am getting ready for this year and sending out to all my fellow crafts to join me in Thing-a-day 3. I promise you will not only feel creative but you can make some new crafty friends along the way. It's free to join and so much fun to do! Sign-up opens on January 26th and closes on midnight on the 31st.

Starting Small in 2009 New Years Resolutions Post Card Swap

2008-12-28T17:35:00.009-05:00

Ring in the old, ring in the new! Well here we go again! It's now that time to start thinking of a new beginning again. Dust off your resolving mechanism and get it into high gear - and watch out everybody -here you come. Wipe the slate clean and start thinking of your New Years Resolutions for 2009. A chance to change the way you are living now and start your new year off right.
So we make those determineding lists and eternal promises and by the time February comes you've lost that list and forgotten the promises. too bad, you meant well. It was a good idea: everyone needs to take stock and do some starting over occasionally, and the first day of a brand-new year is a good time for a new beginning.
What do we do wrong? Sometimes it's a question of giving up way before you even start. You are so sure that you've got weak kneed will power that you play it safe sometimes to safe. You pick something so insignificant that it isn't worth being so firm about. You know darn well it doesn't matter with you stick to that or not, and when your determination gets the best of itself on the small stuff your conscience won't nag you at all. Or perhaps you are horn blower. Standing up and make a loud announcement of your good intentions. You may do it because you enjoy the pat on the back that you get for all the wonderful things you are going to do with your new resolutions. More often, however the biggest stumbling block to staying true to your resolutions is the newness of it all. Once you start thinking about the ways to improve yourself its hard to know where to start or stop. You can get too big about the resolution itself and try to demand impossible perfection. You reach a point where you have to work so hard at resolving to keep your resolution that the positive change you were trying to make in yourself gets lost in the shuffle. Now wonder you don't get anyplace.

Tradition dictates that every 365 days, you should try to kick bad habits and start your life anew. So sit down with a cup of coffee, a paper and a pen, and reflect: What kinds of New Years Resolutions will you make for yourself this January 1st?
Step 1
Be realistic by setting achievable goals.
Step 2
Describe your resolutions in specific terms. Instead of "I don't want to be lazy," opt for "I want to exercise regularly" or "I will cut down on my television watching."
Step 3
Break down large goals into smaller ones. For instance, commit to losing weight by resolving to join a gym and improve your eating habits.
Step 4
Find alternatives to a behavior that you want to change, and make this part of your resolution plan. So you want to quit smoking but you smoked to relax yourself? What other forms of relaxation are available to you?
Step 5
Above all, aim for things that are truly important to you, not what you think you ought to do or what others expect of you.New Year's Eve has always been a time for looking back to the past, and more importantly, forward to the coming year.

Gingersaurous Rex Cookies

2008-12-03T11:11:00.017-05:00

Please vote for my T-Rex Cookies over at Instructables in the holiday treats contest. Only 1 day left - votes ends tomorrow 12.10.08

I am trying to get into the holiday spirit so last night my husband said let make some cookies. Oh what fun - so I went digging through my collections of recipes, ingredients and cookie cutters and thought "no cookie says Christmas more than a gingerbread man cookie - right.

All I could find was this T-Rex cookie cutter, so here is my twist on this classic cookie.

Gingersaurous Rex Cookies

We had so much fun decorating and eating the heads off I do have to say I could almost hear bells ringing in the distance and caroling at the front door.

Gingersaurous Rex Cookies Recipe
INGREDIENTS
For the cookies
3 1/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter (room temperature, softened)
1/2 cup dark-brown sugar, packed
1 Tbsp ground ginger
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoons ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1/2 cup unsulfured molasses
Royal Icing
1 egg white
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1 3/4 cup confectioners sugar (powdered sugar)
METHOD
1 In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and spices. Set aside.

2 In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter. Add sugar and beat until fluffy. Mix in eggs and molasses. Gradually add the flour mixture; combine on low speed. (You may need to work it with your hands to incorporate the last bit of flour.) Divide dough in thirds; wrap each third in plastic. Chill for at least 1 hour or overnight. Before rolling out, let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. If after refrigerating the dough feels too soft to roll-out, work in a little more flour.

3 Heat oven to 350°. Place a dough third on a large piece of lightly floured parchment paper or wax paper. Using a rolling pin, roll dough 1/8 inch thick. Refrigerate again for 5-10 minutes to make it easier to cut out the cookies. Use either a cookie cutter or place a stencil over the dough and use a knife to cut into desired shapes. Press raisins, chocolate chips, or candy pieces in the center of each cookie if desired for "buttons".
4 Transfer to ungreased baking sheets. Bake until crisp but not darkened, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Let sit a few minutes and then use a metal spatula to transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Decorate as desired.
Makes 16 5-inch long cookies.
Royal Icing
The traditional way to make Royal Icing is to beat egg whites and lemon juice together, adding the powdered sugar until the mixture holds stiff peaks. With modern concerns about salmonella from raw eggs, you can either use powdered egg whites or heat the egg whites first to kill any bacteria. With the heating method, mix the egg white and lemon juice with a third of the sugar, heat in a microwave until the mixture's temperature is 160°F. Then remove from microwave, and beat in the remaining sugar until stiff peaks form. Using the powdered egg whites method, combine 1 Tbsp egg white powder with 2 Tbsp water. If the icing is too runny, add more powdered sugar until you get the desired consistency. Fill a piping bag with the icing to pipe out into different shapes. Keep the icing covered while you work with it or it will dry out.

Enjoy and I hope you add my Gingersaurous Rex Cookies to your Holiday this year!

Dinner Notes

2008-11-18T09:33:00.004-05:00

How to make your closet seem like a boutique - oh la la

2008-11-15T17:47:00.012-05:00

Today while shopping at one of my favorite thrift stores, I came across this amazing wall paper. So I thought how beautiful would that look in my ugly closet - I could transform my closet it to a chic boutique that would just scream put your clothes away in me! Here is how I took my closet from boring to oh la la.

Step 1
Find an ugly closet!

When I took a piece of the wood away I came across this wonderful little treasure of the past. I found this small piece of what was small green leaf wall paper- my house is about 90 years old and this closet once in its glory was just as fancy as it is today.

Step 2
Paint and add the wall paper of your choice. I took out the old hanging bar and replaced it with a new one.

Step 3
Add the Oh La La
Here I hung a mirror that I purchased at a decor store along with the small frame to the right. I added a chandelier that I had gotten a few years ago to add some light - I am in LOVE with my new closet and can't wait to hang all of my clothes in it.

Milk to Milk Soomthies - great winter time drink recipes

2008-11-04T20:20:00.009-05:00

Getting ready for the colder months I came across some really wonderful milk recipes. For me I personally don't drink milk - icky. However these dainty little recipes makes me want to whip up a few to make me warm and toasty in the upcoming winter months.

If you try them let me know what you think - I would love to hear you thoughts on how they may taste. I'm just sticking with the coffee and chocolate mint flavors.

Start with dry powered milk - this is a good way to make a rich base for any frothy beverage. In making these Mild to Milk recipes, add dry milk to the liquids and blend together thoroughly by using your blender. All these recipes are for 1 glass - enjoy!

Strawberry-Pineapple Milk - make cold
One-half cup of canned pineapple juice, 2 tablespoons of strawberry syrup, 3/4 cup of milk 3 tablespoons of powered milk. Mix together.

Raspberry or Strawberry Milk
One cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of raspberry or strawberry syrup, dash of salt, 1/4 cup of powdered milk.

Banana Milk

One ripe banana, beaten until smooth with your blender, add 1 cup of milk, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla, dash of salt, 14 cup of powder milk - enjoy.

Banana Chocolate Milk

One ripe banana, beaten until smooth with your blender, add 1 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup, a dash of salt, 3 tablespoons of powdered milk.

Banana Orange Milk

One ripe banana, beaten until smooth with your blender, 1/2 cup orange juice, 3/4 cup of milk, dash of salt, 3 tablespoons dry powdered milk.

Chocolate Mint Milk

One cup of milk, 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup, a few drops of peppermint extract, dash of salt, 1/4 cup powdered milk.

Coffee Milk - my favorite!

One-half cup cold espresso or coffee, 3/4 cup of milk, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla, dash of salt, 3 tablespoons of powdered milk with sugar to taste.

Maple Milk - serve this one warm.

One cup of milk, few drops of maple syrup, dash of salt, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/4 cup of powdered milk.

Spice Milk - serve warm

One cup of milk, dash of salt, 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon and nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, 1/4 cup of powdered milk.

Have fun making the wonderful little treats.
