Photo a Day Challenge

I've been doing really good taking pictures each day so far this year. I'm keeping up with them on an app. It's called 365 and it's free if you want to check it out.  I need a little inspiration though... my day to day is pretty boring sometimes and I run out of things to take pics of. I mean... I could take a picture of my laundry or another one of our dog...  A lot of people have joined this Instagram group photo challenge from Fat Mum Slim.  You can click on the picture to go to her blog.  She is going to post new ones each month.  I'm going to try this for Feburary!

Projects…

I’ve had so much fun this week using my embroidery machine! I mean I’ve only had it about 2.5 years and this is really the first time I’ve ever used it to applique and that’s the reason I bought it! I guess now that Collin is older I’m feeling like I’ve got more time to do it now. Here are some pictures of what I’ve done. I’m learning as I go and making things for practice/experience. I had to email a friend of mine to ask her what I was doing wrong on one of the shirts and she helped me a ton!

I’m working on more tonight for an upcoming baby shower for a little boy and redoing a shirt for Hailey (remember the whole practice part!) LOL!

Artwork

I don't know if you can tell what is in this picture. You might have to click on it to make it bigger. I walked down the hall and looked into the boys' room. I was shocked to say the least! Above Jack's bed was this mural.


He drew it with crayon. I didn't think I needed to worry about my 6 year old drawing on the walls anymore! It's of the Polar Express complete with elves. And I don't have the heart to make him scrub it off.

Thanksgiving wrap-up.

I’m finally posting the pictures from my camera from our Thanksgiving trip.

Hailey on the monkey bridge

Someone gave Collin a turkey leg! Gross! But he loved it.

We went downtown to look for Santa. We found him and Mrs. Claus! They like to spend their Thanksgiving weekend in Clayton each year too

Quick picture before church.

Take 2. Don’t you love Jack? We didn’t say it was funny face time!

Four Generation picture. We haven’t taken one of these since Hailey was two weeks old!

Great trip and a Great Thanksgiving!!!

Sticky Buns

So with about 500 pins on my Pinterest boards I'm finally getting around to trying some of the things out. This was one of the recipes. I made it for our ladies Christmas craft swap. It was a breakfast for dinner theme.
Click here for full recipe.

All you need is butter, syrup, brown sugar, and cinnamon ( nuts optional ) and a can of grands biscuits. I ended up using a can and a half to fill my pan.


Pour half of syrup mixture and half of sugar in bottom.


Add biscuits...


Pour remaining syrup mixture on top.


Top off with other half of sugar


Cook at 375* for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.


Yum!!
