It’s Black Friday!

Ok… just got back in to my place after spending a couple of nights at my parents’ house for Thanksgiving.  My poor mom – she broke her ankle a few days ago… and is having a tough time (to say the least) getting around now!  LOL!  She doesn’t even have her ‘real’ cast yet… just a temp one till all of the swelling goes down.

We had a lot of fun though… and it was kind of nice in some ways for my mom to be ‘immobile’ --- it gave all of the rest of us a chance to do all of the cooking, cleaning up, and serving for a change!  My mom deserves a LOT more of that!  (Just preferably without the broken leg part! LOL!)

The kids enjoyed putting together some cupcake turkeys:

Here’s Ty eyeing his… with a HUNGRY eye!  Hee hee hee…

I would love to say I came up with the turkey cupcake idea all on my own… but I didn’t!  If you would like to see how to make them (they are SOOOOOO easy) just click HERE to check it out!

Ryan had fun putting together the big ‘map of the United States’ puzzle (over and over again). 

Well… we’re home now… and Matt is going to be busy setting up our new GIGANTIC flat screen TV!  He took advantage of the Black Friday deals… and our TV was dying anyway… so… we HAD to right??? LOL!  I am NOT good at setting those things up… I am leaving that ALL to him!  Wahahaha!

Speaking of Black Friday deals…

I Used It Again!

Well… my little guy is now officially 3!  Not so little anymore I suppose… but he’ll always be the baby of the bunch as far as I’m concerned!  We had fun celebrating with him – eating cake and ice cream… and then setting up our Christmas tree.  (Yup… you read that right… and I KNOW it’s early… but we are antsy – and we just couldn’t help ourselves!  Wahahaha!) 

I put together a ‘sort of’ choo-choo-train looking birthday cake for Ty.  (He loved it – so that’s all that matters right??? LOL!)  And I am totally going to sound like an advertisement for Pampered Chef here, but I used my Classic Batter Bowl AGAIN for the little ‘hill/tunnel’ that the train is supposed to look like it’s going through.  I tend to use my batter bowl a lot for baking cakes… Here is what the bowl looks like:  (nothing very out of the ordinary or anything…)

All ya have to do is bake your cake inside the bowl and then flip the baked result upside down… Here is the cake I made for Ty’s birthday this year:

And here are couple of past cakes that I’ve used it for too:

I just keep using that thing over and over again… hee hee hee! 

Well – I just wanted to pop on today and say ‘hi’… nothing major.  I have some scrapping to do now for Miss Kim… she has a beautiful new Christmas kit out that I can’t wait to dive into.  Woohoo!

C ya later!

Last Day of Brag Book a Day!

Hi everyone!  Today is the last day in the ‘BBAD’ (brag book a day) series!  It’s the last day of Kim B’s birthday sale celebration… so this is it!  For our last page, I chose to modify a page I had originally given out as a 12x12… but thought it would be perfect as a brag book size too!  I used Kim’s FANTASTIC kit, ‘Camping Out.’

Here is my original layout:

This kit is AMAZING!!! You can click HERE to check it out at Kim’s store!  And here is the page I made for you:
