Hipstamtic

So, apparently there is an even better app than the Shake It app....it's called the Hipstamatic... Thanks MOM for telling me about it!!

Shake It!

So I was reading another blog and my eye was drawn to some neat photos she had posted. Come to find out, she did it all with the "Shake It" app for the iPhone and it's only 99 cents. Can't pass that up. :-) This app acts as an instant film emulator.

So, Fozzy, like always, was my "Shake It" subject tonight. Don't ask me why he is in the sink. I really wonder what that cat does when he's home alone all day...

Bake Sale

I decided to make some more chocolates for an upcoming Bake Sale at work. It's to benefit March of Dimes March for Babies so I went with a baby theme. The pink bottles are strawberry flavored and the blue are just the normal white chocolate. The white bears are also white chocolate and that will be the last time I make the dang bears. They were a pain!! Their ears and feet are so shallow yet a necessary detail so I couldn't just leave them out! However, it was tricky because when you go to pound the mold on the counter to get the bubbles out, the ears would overflow....ugh. A bit tricky trying to get just the right amount of chocolate in the ears. Never will make those again. The bottles were easy to do but there isn't much chocolate to them. All in all, they were fun to make, but not my best work either.

More chocolates

I decided to make some mints for my Aunt Marie whose birthday is in a week. She didn't get many at the wedding last weekend so I'm sending her some fresh ones. These are so easy to make, with very little clean up. I hope she likes them!

Congratulations, Lisa and Brock!

Kansas City got its first snowfall of the year last night and pretty much its first snowfall of the season. I don't count the dusting we had in Nov/Dec.
I'm not a fan, but it certainly looks pretty and it arrived just in time for me to try out my new tires (which cost an arm and a leg!).

And, to keep with the mood, here's some nice snow pictures.

The cutest (and only) snow owl I've ever seen. :-)

Lisa's Party!

The day before Christmas Eve, the Merry girls got together for Lisa's personal shower / bachlorette party. While we kept it very low key, we still had a ton of fun! The night started out with gifts and some delicious red wine. (I'm normally not a fan but this stuff was good!) After that, the sisters went to Rosie's for dinner and drinks. Let's just say one drink was all we needed! Katie and I couldn't even see straight after our martinis! Ending up at Old Navy around 11pm to purchase velor jump suits rounded out the night. Lisa and Brock's wedding is just around the corner! Everyone is scrambling to get it put together but it's been fun and we are all looking forward to it. :-)














There are pictures from the late Old Navy velour jump suit run but I will NOT be posting those....I might not have 4 sisters anymore if I did!!
