This is Frosted Cranberry Christmas oil and let me tell you, it smells like Christmas. They also have Winter and Evergreen oils that smell just as wonderful. Plus, there are combo's that you can make by mixing the oils. My ultimate favorite is 10 drops of Frosted Cranberry and 10 drops of Winter, smells just like Christmas!
Since I enjoyed writing questions for Halloween (if you didn't have a chance to read them check them out here!) I thought I would do it again for Christmas. Starting December 1st, I will be asking those tugging on your heart strings, candy cane tasting, snow-flakes on your nose and eyelashes type of Christmas questions. So start thinking about your favorite holiday memories, foods, smells, movies, songs and anything else holiday related. I can't wait to read all of your answers!
Quick note: Head on over to Our Joy...His Glory to see my sis's Christmas decorations, they are Deck'n the Halls over at her home and she did awesome! By the way, my sister is almost 8 months pregnant and she busted out her Christmas decorations and put them up all by her self. All my women, who independent, throw your hands up at me!!! Way to go sis, too cute!
Then place buttons where you like them, then begin placing rubber bands around the buttons and continue the process until you get a voo-doo doll.
See, voo-doo doll.
After soaking the shirt to your preference remove it and begin rinsing it in water. Try to remove as much bleach as you can, you will be doing this with your bear hands. No one wants bleach-damaged hands...not cool. Plus, bleach could leave one painful skin rash.
Rinse, Rinse, Rinse.
Next, begin snapping those rubber bands, but be careful those little guys got a mean bite.
After your done snapping the rubber bands ball the shirt up and rinse it one more time. Then after your final good rinse hang the shirt up to dry. It might be a good idea to place a large bowl or bucket under the shirt to catch any left over bleach that could drip.
Then turn on Fleetwood Mac, burn some incense, grab your bell bottoms, and become one with the hippie inside of you...groovy.
We were so satisfied and excited to know that the dog we desire is not a hiper, crazy, fool dog like the one I had as a child...(PJ, may he rest in peace.) Instead, Goldendoodles are better more like KC, less like PJ. Hooray! What about you guys? Any puppies taken over your hearts? I know J and I are pretty much in love.
Even Lilly Jane cannot believe this deal!
The artist that inspired me did just about the same project. Honestly, I just recreated what I saw and added a few personal touches of my own. I want to give credit where credit is due! But, I don't know who did it, I was googling some t-shirts and found t-shirts at Dream of Stars, really innovative stuff! So whoever designed Project Girl, way to go, thanks for the inspiration and letting me borrow her profile! I love it and I promise, I am not going to sale it!Project Girl gives my room warmth and light, it's different walking into my room now with a large painting on the wall, but I'm loving it so far! Thanks again to Dream of Stars for the inspiration.
After reaching a boil, turn the candy down to medium heat and allow the candy to boil. Try not to stir because this does something to the candy; I'm not sure what, but, the instructions strongly suggested avoiding stirring after the candy has boiled. Using a candy thermometer, candy should heat to 290 degrees.
Double, Double, Toil, in trouble.
After heating the mixture to 290 degrees, remove candy from the heat and begin slapping it on the apples! Using a pastry brush or just by rolling the apple in the candy.
This is when it all went wrong. After applying my candy mixture to the apples the candy began to harden like it was supposed to, I am not sure if I wasn't applying quickly enough or if my mix was bad; but, my candy began to turn hard pretty quickly after the first 6 apples. Then, when I stuck them to the tin foil it molded to the tin foil and the foil could NOT be removed.
Am I destined for failure in the candy making world or are there simple things I can do to avoid this problem next time? For all you candy makers out there, what do you suggest? I want to try again,but I do want it to be a success! Help!?!
Gotta love it.
The process is really simple, but I must warn you, Armour Etch's smell is pretty stout so be ready; also, follow the warning label pretty closely. It seems like it could have some pretty long lasting effects if it comes in contact with your eyes. Other than that, this little jar does the trick!
These were the cylinders before, pretty? Yes. But, I wanted to kick it up a notch.
This is the after, when all the lights are out this is exactly what they look like! I am very satisfied. Instead of taping off boundaries and removing letters, this time I just applied two generous coats of Armour Etch and let the cylinders dry. Horray for a FREE DIY!
What do you think? I think it really adds something to the room, plus after J and I get married I think it will be a nice addition to the kitchen table, the bathroom, end table, bed side table, desk, bar...the list could go on! Have you done any interesting DIY projects lately?
One major DIY I would love everyone to check out is my new niece, Edy Rose's, nursery. My sister did an amazing job and it is too cute. I got to see it in person this weekend and it was darling! Shoot on over to Our Joy...His Glory for a closer look!
This is the HoMedics Sound SPA Relaxation Sound Machine, found at Target. This is the machine that almost had me sold, but I felt like I should wait and save a little more money before I splurge 25 dollars. Are any of you guys familiar with this sound machine? Have you used one? and if Yes, did you like it? Was it annoying? Or was the name as it says relaxing? I'd love your input!
