October... Anniversary...Christmas and Mice

 


Good morning, Friends!

It seems like I was just here but the date of my last post, says otherwise! Not that I have any great news to report... 


But it was our 51st anniversary on the 26th of September.  What did we do?  Ate lunch out at Tejun's Restaurant.  Buttered shrimp plates.  Really good!





Truth!



I've been trying to learn to do design on Inkscape....hard for me but at least I learned how to print my design from there.  Mostly, I use Canva.  Our daughter saw a photo of this design and wanted it for Sloane...I found photos of baby animals and added the Bible phrases with chapter and verse.  


Sublimation on 100% cotton




No...your eyes aren't deceiving you...Lolol...and yes, that's a swimming pool you see in our living room.  Sloane is having a blast with it.






Sloane modeling the Dr Pepper carton...Very 
chic !!!
If your player won't play it...just change web browsers.  My Internet Explorer won't play some videos but FireFox will, as will Chrome.



If you have unfriendly critters from outside looking for a cool or warm spot to nest in your home...you need to try this recipe!
Ratio of 1:1 each of Jiffy Honey muffin mix (any flavor will do as long as it's sweet). 
Mice can't burp...so the baking soda, in essence, kills them...days after ingesting it.  It's not harmful to your pets (because they can burp) 
It takes a few days or weeks to see results but it does work.
Cut a round hole in the front of each container so the critter can chow down.  About an inch round.  Put the lid back on and find a spot where you think they have a path.





2011,  I  think...



4 years ago...We've both lost weight.



Lol...



What??  A Christmas tree??  Where?? lolol
I still need to decorate it...and it's in our playroom/TV room/Laundry area.  
I love Christmas and never use to put up a tree until after Thanksgiving but hey...we're not getting any younger!  And I like to celebrate as long as possible!





 Our Sloane, modeling a Dr Pepper carton...see video above... lol
Well, that's about it for me.  Hope you all are at peace, well and happy.
So until next time...

Mother's Day, an Oreo Lemon Cookie Pound Cake, and a Cricut Maker3...

Morning guys!  It's been a busy week.  Watching the Depp/Heard trial... Mother's Day cake, that I made myself...for myself, but only took a slice... and Larry bought me a Cricut Maker 3...don't ask...He thinks I'm floundering. Burned out, so to speak. So, he got me a toy to play with.  What a learning curve!!!  Omg... it'll do a lot of crafts, maybe even fly (not really) ...but I'll be learning new things from now to doomsday!  I suppose that was his original intention...but don't call me an ingrate quiet yet!  We drove over to Consignment Furniture and I bought a desk in which I can house the machine...craft do-dads...odds and ends and bobbles.  Goodness knows where all this will take me...I'll keep you updated.


Here's the Oreo Lemon Cookie Pound Cake I made...Dang GOOD!  Very lemony!


People are always asking me how I get my cakes to literally, fall out of their pans with absolutely no breakage or crumbling...Just make the recipe below...store in the refrigerator, use it liberally on All your baked goods!  Slather it on your pan!  I love the stuff and No More expensive Baker's Joy!  I know, I know...Crisco and dust with flour ...sure it works to but, too many steps when all you need is a brush and this recipe. 



I used the food processor to crumble about 20 cookies...half in the batter and half on top of the lemon glaze.





Use your favorite basic vanilla pound cake recipe...I also added a small box of Instant Lemon Pudding...NO vanilla extract!  Instead, use Lemon extract, 2 teaspoons.
There's SO many variations you can use... Can you think of one? 






Larry also gave me flowers for Mother's Day...so pretty!


Love Italian Sesame bread!  I can't make it for this price of $1 !!


Are any of you Cricutters??





My first project...Lolol...a vinyl bear...and only because the machine made me do it!

Well, Hope you all are well, safe and happy.  I hope you Mother's out there enjoyed our special day!  Father's Day is coming up...June 19th (America)  I'd better get busy to find a revenge... I mean, a sweet gift for the Hubby.
Be kind to each other and make good choices!


WHAT??Lolol... oh alright, so I'm #TeamDepp ...
See you at the trial!
