Chow Mein Bird Nests

I used THIS recipe to make these. I just substituted the 6 C. Rice Crispies to 1 1/2 bags of Chow Mein noodles. You can make it w/o the peanut butter too..just add a little more butter. It's also really good to make the Peanut Butter Rice Crispy treats with chocolate chips in them!

Pot Luck

A new Enrichment Group was started in my ward..each month a bunch of ladies get together and bring some pot luck food item (tonight was appetizers) and we'll do a craft or game or something each month. Tonight we made jewelry. It was really fun! And so easy. Jewelry isn't something I have gotten into yet myself..I think I'll wait a little while longer still because of the space I don't have right now. That is a WHOLE 'nother ball field of things to buy and learn and have stored up! I need a craft room before I get into any MORE projects..I already have my Sewing and Scrapbooking and such.. and I just recently started a cake decorating class with a friend.. so I'll be putting cake pics up soon, but for now, here is some jewelry I made tonight!

Hormones

So, I am feeling..I don't know. I guess a little overwhelmed and bummed and... a mixture of things. Probably it has to do w/my being pregnant, I don't know. I have a few crafts started..but they aren't quite working out the way I am wanting them to. I haven't given up, it is just taking me a little longer to get excited and get them finished! I have a whole list of things to do once I find out if I'm having a boy or girl..so I fell like I am kinda' just in a waiting field right now.

I do want to do some Easter Eggs..hopefully tomorrow! A couple AWESOME ideas from Martha Stewart are the Silk Died Eggs. And I love these Marbleized Eggs and especially the Marbleized Eggs- but I don't know where to get the Methyl Cellulose for those last ones.

Happy Easter everyone! I can't believe it's already here. I am glad for SPRING though!

Herb Garden

Find the perfect container. I liked this one because it it wide at the top so I could fit more plants in it. (-and it was free!) Make sure to get Organic or Vegetable/Garden friendly soil.


Fill the bottom with large rocks to help water filtration so the water doesn't collect in the bottom of the container -especially if there is not a drain hole.


Choose your herbs..make sure they require the same amount of sunlight. Most are part to full sun. Plant your herbs, water them and enjoy some fresh herbs in the weeks and months to come!

Well Well!! I only had four entries in my "Pay it Forward Giveaway", so..instead of leaving one of you out, I will go ahead and count you all in instead of choosing 3 if you are all still interested. So,
