Getting Tired of Cake Truffles Yet???

If you have been following my blog for a long time you probably have noticed, I love making cake truffles. I think I have posted them on here twice already (hence the post title), but I had to do it yet again. I am starting to get more exotic with them, flavors and coatings. Everyone loves the chocolate ones of course, but this time I made strawberry dipped in white chocolate and then orange dipped in milk chocolate. They turned out so cute!!! They are just one of those things that the more you make them, the better you get at it. I have learned something new everytime I have done them, and they keep turning out cuter and cuter. I have been told numerous times that I need to open a bakery and sell them (and my other goodies), really, I would love to, but for now my sweet little kiddos can have them.

 Tomorrow, being the last Sunday of the month, is our potluck Sunday so they are part of our colorful, and absolutely delicious, dessert table.

Water Marbled Nails

I am really into painting my nails wild, those of you who know me can testify to that!
I am always trying to be creative and think up different things to do. So... when I saw something about water marbling I just couldn't resist! It is super fun and easy! I just thought I would share it with you all. I have already had a few people that thought I had them professionally done, or that they are decals or even fake nails. I absolutely love them!

Age of Discovery... wow

You know you're a nerd when...

you suddenly get a random, crazy idea to do something like...

Am I the only weirdo, or has someone else actually tried this before as well???

Winter Cookies

They aren't Christmas cookies because that is over so, they are winter cookies with attitude!!! I tried to give them all little unique personalities.

I took group pictures of them, then some pictures of my favorites.

Messy Marvin, with his dirty shirt.

Tropical tourist and his Hawaiian shirt.

Hope you enjoyed seeing them. My parents, me, and some others will certainly enjoy eating them!!!

Rose to Victory

My mighty Oregon Ducks did it, they won. Great game!!!!

Happy 2012!!!

I  can't belive we are at the start of a new year, again. Time goes by so fast!!! I love new anything, new shoes, new clothes... It is a chance to start over, to make things different, a clean slate so to say. I am looking forward to what God has in store for my life this new year. I hope that you all have a fantastic new year as well!!!

I will be spending this wonderful holiday today watching my beloved Oregon Ducks (*win*) in the Rose Bowl. Woohoo!!! I have my ducks shirt on, my nails painted green and yellow, I am all ready to see them beat the Wisconsin Badgers!!!
