Instead of leaving her in a Kennel they asked if we would watch her for 4 days. She is such a cutie and loves to play. I am worn out LOL. She is very well behaved and well trained so she really wasn't any trouble..just loves to play...didn't I already say that!!!???!!!<br />
<br />
She loves "Gramma and Grandpa" and is always happy to see us when we visit. They live about 5 hours north of here and were heading 5 hours south of here. When they come here to visit as soon as we open the door she runs towards us and jumps as high as she can. Such a little character.<br />
<br />
We have a big back yard and she loved being outside. She would run in circles as fast as she could go. It was so funny to watch her go. She is not very big, she almost blended with the ground. As soon as you came in the house....there she was with one of her toys, which by-the-way she hid in her kennel under her blanket!!<br />
<br />
She is a mix of Maltese and Chihauhua.<br />
<br />
She is now home and our house is quiet.<br />
<br />
<br />
I mean really, how can you resist this little face,<br />

I went on Google images and on Pinterest to see what others have made using this fine product! WOW!!<br />
So many ideas. I really like the wall hanging projects, especially the butterfly but then I also like the Faux wrought iron look and so on and so on!!!<br />
I have enough to make all the projects, the question is...Do I have the motivation?<br />
<br />
<br />
Yesterday I did get my bottle caps prepped and ready and the container top sanded for my outdoor side table. ..again...need to get started....<br />
<br />
Right now I am enjoying the peacefulness of the morning.....maybe later.<br />
<br />
Anyone else have this problem?<br />

I use my Big Shot to flatten them. Just roll a few times back and forth. Then I paint the inside edges ( and sometimes the sides) glue the bottom edges together add decorative paper. The insert can be tricky. You do have to measure each roll as the sizes vary. Sometimes I stamp the tab or add decorative paper or just leave as is. As always though I have to ink the edges...thats my thing lol</div>

<br />
I thought I would try it...... I used a box of Spice Cake Mix Instead of the Yellow Cake Mix with the can of pumpkin. It is delicious and easy- peasy. I also tried it with a box of Carrot Cake Mix, it too was yummy.<br />
<br />
Instead of the large muffin pan I used a mini muffin pan.<br />
<br />
I also found it easier to empty the canned pumpkin into mixing bowl first and then gradually add the cake mix while stirring.<br />
<br />
All you need to do is pre- heat oven to 350 degrees<br />
<br />
Grease or oil muffin pan<br />
<br />
In a large bowl,<br />
<br />
Mix one box cake mix and one can of canned pumpkin( I used Libbys)<br />
<br />
Stir by hand until smooth<br />
<br />
Spoon mix into muffin pan ( no need to worry how full. I filled each to top.)<br />
<br />
Bake for 25 minutes<br />
<br />
Remove from oven, let cool<br />
<br />
Thats it!<br />
<br />
makes 24 to 28 mini muffins<br />
<br />
You can add chopped walnuts or chocolate chips if desired!!!<br />

The other day I found a bracelet that I made with paper beads.<br />
The colors are so pretty and they look like ceramic beads! <br />
<br />
I went into the kitchen and grabbed a couple of wood skewers then I went through my patterned paper picked out a few designs, cut them into strips and started rolling. All shapes and sizes. It is relaxing. I have my pile of paper, glue and while watching ( well more like listening) to TV I roll and roll and roll.<br />
I cut some at 1/2 inch and a few at 2 inches but I like the 1 inch size best. Cut at diagonal and you have a cone style shape<br />
<br />
Depending on the thickness of the paper most of my pieces were 12 inch lengths. The thicker sheets did well at 6 inch lengths.<br />
<br />
You can use magazine pages too. In fact years ago when I first learned how to make them we used magazine pages. Book pages, music sheets, origami paper. Its a great way to recycle left over scraps of paper and magazine pages. Easy project for kids to try.<br />
<br />
To seal them after rolling you can use a glaze, Mod Podge or UTEE . I found the quickest and easiest way was to use UTEE (Ultra thick embossing enamel) Just roll bead using skewer onto the Versa Mark pad then using a plastic spoon sprinkle UTEE all over the bead then heat with a heat gun. I repeat with a second coat of UTEE and heat again. Wait a few seconds to cool and remove the bead from the skewer. Voila!<br />
<br />
You can use a twilling tool too but remember you need enough of an opening to string bead<br />
<br />
On some of the beads I inked the edges with a darker color before applying the UTEE.<br />

<br />
For some reason I couldn't get rid of them....I like them. Out dated and pictures fading but the frames are nice. So I had an idea that I could paint the frames add a new picture or paint a new picture. That thought stayed in the back of my mind and the pictures went into a box!<br />
<br />
I love butterflies, my bathroom has a butterfly theme Hmm... I have a huge butterfly stamp, two heart shape picture frames.<br />
AHA moment!!!!<br />
I painted the frames light blue, stamped and inked the butterflies and of course I added some fairy dust (lightly glittered).<br />
<br />
I like the result. What do you think?<br />
<br />

<br />
I usually score and cut them myself but it gets tiring after awhile. Especially if you have to make several in different sizes. The Die from Stampin Up makes them from 1 inch to 6 inches and boy is it quick!<br />
<br />
The white film that comes in the package is the shim. You need that. You also need to have the crease pad to score the fold lines.<br />
<br />
YES I am using my Hot Glue Gun Helpers to glue the center!! :)<br />

<br />
I made a 3 1/2" x 3" note card with matching envelope. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Here are two small envelopes different shapes<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3LosBme-wNw/Ui6ZxAYX3CI/AAAAAAAAAzs/uMR-Qgq4i1Q/s1600/envelopes+and+renee+card+005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3LosBme-wNw/Ui6ZxAYX3CI/AAAAAAAAAzs/uMR-Qgq4i1Q/s320/envelopes+and+renee+card+005.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
This is the smallest size envelope and the largest size envelope<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AN8zQTOmf7A/Ui6ZwNS6hQI/AAAAAAAAAzk/fIKTp2AQ7Jo/s1600/envelopes+and+renee+card+004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AN8zQTOmf7A/Ui6ZwNS6hQI/AAAAAAAAAzk/fIKTp2AQ7Jo/s320/envelopes+and+renee+card+004.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
Small fits a 2"x 3 1/2" card. Large envelope fits a 6" x 8 1/2" card<br />

I was craving a good dip for my corn tortillia chips.<br />
<br />
I wanted something different than the usual salsa etc.<br />
<br />
I thought "why not use garbonzo beans" ( some call them chickpeas).<br />
<br />
So......<br />
<br />
I cut up a couple of avocados ,tomatoes, green onion, celantro, garlic,vinegar,olive oil, seasonings and a can<br />
<br />
<br />
of garbonzo beans.<br />
<br />
It was delicious. <br />
<br />
Actually it is so good..who needs tortilla chips, a spoon works just as good!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

The clay is so soft and easy to work with. When dry it is very lightweight, feels like foam! You can add color to clay before molding by kneading ink into the clay. Or you can color after it has dried using markers paint, glitter etc. Or just leave it white!<br />
There are many ways to pop clay out of the mold. I tried them all, putting cornstarch in mold was a good method, baby oil wipes in mold was a bit messy for little ol me and just pulling them out and "fixing" it up before drying was...well didn't work for me. I found the best results to put the mold with clay in the freezer for 10 to 20 minutes. They popped right out and the results looked great!<br />

Also when using the button mold, place a bit of clay in mold and gently roll the clay. This opens up the button holes...easy-peasy.<br />

The package is 2.4 oz but it goes a long way. I have a 7 1/2 by 5 1/2 container full of my clay embellishments. Oh and did I tell you that you can use any mold. I used my polymer clay molds,candy molds etc!! Like I said I am having fun! They make great embellishments!!<br />

I especially love it when I find a great "deal" on craft supplies.<br />
I came across a Clear 12 x 12 plastic case filled with goodies. All for $2.99. The case was sealed with tape so I couldnt open it up to look inside at all the goodies.(But) Looking through the plastic container and turning it upside down etc....I did see some ribbon, paint brushes, thread, and a Brayer!!!! I bought it. The brayer was still in the original package, unopened!!! New paint brushes too. So much "stuff" inside, well worth the $2.99.<br />
<br />
Here is a cool technique to use with the Brayer<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h1 class="pagetitle uppercase" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; text-transform: uppercase;">
LAYERED BRAYER</h1>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;">
<b>Directions:<br /><br /> Heat emboss your chosen images on Glossy White card stock using VersaMark ink and Clear Stampin' Emboss powder. Bold images work best for this technique.<br /><br /> Ink your brayer with a light color of ink, and bray your card stock.<br /><br /> Use a sticky note or scrap paper cut to desired shapes and sizes to cover portions of your card stock.<br /><br /> Ink your brayer with a darker color of ink, and bray your card stock again.<br /><br /> Repeat process if extra layers are desired.<br /><br /> Remove paper scraps and wipe embossed images to remove excess ink. </b></div>

One of my favorite techniques is called "Stamping Off".<br />
This Technique is a great way to get several shades of color from one ink pad.<br />
It is also a great way to show motion ,such as a ball moving through the air.<br />
<br />
Here is how to do it. <br />
<br />
Ink a Stamp using any color ink pad <br />
<br />
Stamp the image<br />
<br />
Re-stamp the image one or more times without re-inking it.<br />
