Discovery!

I got my Cuttlebug! And I'm loving every minute of my playtime with it, but in order to really play and get the cards ready for this year, I need paper. I'm about two hours away from the nearest Michaels, so I have to get everything online or via Michigan :\

Anywho, now that I know I have things coming to me, I'm making sure I know all my stuff before I start experimenting. My new favorite website is stamptv.com! It's got a lot of tutorial videos for techniques as well as different ideas and inspiration pictures. That combined with the blogs and other websites, I can't be going in the wrong direction.

This Saturday is also the 'Thanksgiving Dinner' for church, so I will be attempting to make my mom's dressing, which is alway so yummy when she makes it!!! And on Sunday, two teachers I work with will be coming over and taking part in the traditional 1st and 2nd grade christmas ornament making: glitter pinecones. Only these pinecones are NOT the ones us Michiganders are used to. We're talking 6 inches long and at least the same around. Huge, and they're gonna be so much fun to make. (as long as we don't stab ourselves with them too much, they're sharp) And of course I have to make some sort of sweet for it, which means my Apple Struesel Cheesecake Bars are going to make their first appearance in Hawthorne!

Verdict: The brownie cupcakes - fail. More like brownie bricks :(
