Friday FIVE

1. I am really into trying new recipes lately. Not all have been successful, but it's fun to try new and different things. I just got a new ward cookbook recently and am having fun going through it and picking out my neighbor's favorites to try. And I love going through magazines and finding great recipes. Oh, and Annemarie has a wonderful cooking blog you should check out!




2. Summer weddings. We went to a friend's wedding this past weekend and I love seeing all the wedding garb... the beautiful dresses, the flowers, the food, the cake, the pictures, wedding video, gift table, etc... I think I should have been a wedding planner. Wouldn't that be a FUN job?



3. Bath & Body Works. They are having their semi-annual sale right NOW. Need I say more?


4. I'm kind of into sewing again lately. I guess I should be, I just spent $170 to get my sewing machine fixed/tuned up. It's a great little machine though and is 15 years old. Now it's running like it's brand new. I love making things. I'm even thinking about making some items and seeing if I can sell them on eBay.




5. This one is boring, but I love this toothpaste: Crest Whitening Expressions Cinnamon Rush Liquid Gel. I don't like mint flavored toothpaste - when I was pregnant with Kesley, I had a really bad adversion to mint flavor, it would make me dry heave. And I still can't stand it, so this flavor is my absolute fav!

Made for Hallie

So last weeks taggie blanket I made for Audrey was a huge hit and Hallie felt a little slighted that she didn't get one. This afternoon I remembered I had purchased some fabric last fall to make trick or treating bags that I never got around to making, so I pulled it out and made this cute strawberry bag for Hallie, who being such the girlie girl L-O-V-E-S purses! And what do you put into such a lovely bag? Your Polly Pocket Princess collection of course!




I made Kesley a ladybug bag today too, but she's out with her friends tonight and I can't find where she put it! Now, what to make for Dallin???

Made for Audrey

My sweet little Audrey LOVES the tags on her blankets. I know, most babies do. So today I was cleaning out my craft room and noticed I have A LOT of scrap fabric and lots of ribbon - hmmmm..... what to do? I made her a taggie blanket. Well, not really a blanket - it's only one square foot. The side showing is flannel and the backside is pink satin. So easy to make - I wish I would have made her one long ago! She LOVES it! In fact she cried when I took it from her to show to Kesley. Love it when I can make something great from things I have on hand - NO money spent! AND Audrey is 18 months old TODAY, so happy day to her!!!
