Oh so much cuter!

Not so cute...

So we've had this great puzzle for going on 9 years now - good old wooden toys! It was ugly though and needed a bit of a face lift. I don't want Mary to be playing with toys that have gross looking pizza's on them! Face lift complete thanks to some scrapbook paper and mod podge!

Ta da...!

Accidental fondant-like frosting!

I'm not much of a cake maker - everyone else on the planet may already know this but it was a surprise to me! Anyways, I needed to frost Mary's cupcakes and the frosting I had in the fridge (store bought Betty Crocker I think) was too hard to spread without squishing the cupcakes so I put it in the microwave to soften - way to long - oops! I melt everything! It was runny like liquid when I pulled it out and I needed it on fast so I went ahead and poured it onto the cupcakes. It hardened super fast and looked just like a fancy fondant cupcake. Good mistakes occasionally happen to me! I might actually do it on purpose next time!

Craft for boys! Football Helmets...

So we were trying to make awesome BYU football costumes for this Halloween on a bit of a budget and so we made the helmets - well sort of. We bought 3 misc. helmets at Goodwill and garage sales for between $1 and $4 and removed all the stickers and cleaned them up. Then I spray painted them all navy blue. Next I took a strip of white electrical tape over the top to make the stripe on top. Last I took white duck tape and cut out BYU looking Y's and stuck them on the sides. The look pretty good huh!
