Apple Dip

I love this dip for two reason. 1) it is always a crowd favorite, and

2) it has three ingredients. Seriously. Soooo Good. Plus, who doesn't

like a dip that has cream cheese in it! I made this for a little nursing gal 'dip night.'

                                                             Ingredients include:

                                           -1 block of softened cream cheese

                                           -1 cup (packed) brown sugar

                                           -1 tsp of vanilla

Mix until creamy, and this can take a little awhile!

 

Serve with green apples! If you do this ahead of time, don't forget the lemon

juice to make sure your apples don't turn brown!



my canon and I

GAHHHH! I love the first snow :). My canon does too...

it told me... We found a sweet little spot near a lake this

 last fall, and it is just as pretty in the winter.   

 

I think the picture above is my favorite, the tree branches were all

dipping down into the frozen stream. So pretty.

Breaking Dawn Part 1

Well, we finally saw it. Possible spoilers ahead... Libby and I have both read all the books (which are better than the movies), don't be haters :). The movie was good-mediocre. The birth scene was not for me though... Some of my favorite parts included the wedding scenes, and the imprinting scene. BUT my favorite, favorite part of the movie was the MUSIC. The soundtrack was one of the best I have heard in awhile. I even had a part in the movie where I had to lean to libby and have her 'shazam' a song. We were unsuccessful. However, when we got back to my house we used spotify and found the soundtrack. :) YAY. Some of my favorites...

Gift



One of my nursing friends made this cute little wallet. She brought probably

15-20 to give out. What a nice little surprise and put a smile on my face. Someday,

when I get a sewing machine I want to make these. Adorable. :)

Garden Rock

Psalm 18:2

I made this for my mom to put in her garden. She's

making a 'secret garden' as she puts it and it will

fit right in. I love this color of rock, and found

a couple at our cabin last August. Now to be inspired

for the other one I have... Note to self painting

on uneven surfaces is hard when doing letters. :)

The cold weather season keeps me

very busy!

Painting with Moose

I decided it was time to get my favorite little guy in on the craft action! For this you will need non-toxic paint, dog treats, canvas/paper, and newspaper. I had previously painted a generic painting with a bubble like appearance for us to use.

I then painted his front two paws with the black paint. (I had to reapply several times.) I then asked him to walk over the painting. We did this in an enclosed room in our unfinished basement because it was too cold outside.

As you can see a lot of the paint ended up of the floor instead of the painting hehe.

My favorite print ended up on the floor. :). I probably won't wash the prints

 off because they're adorable!

Here is our finished product!
