Penny for Your Thoughts

If you need a good laugh, this mock-u-blog had Scott, Jenny, and me rolling! It's seriouslysoblessed.blogspot.com and it will change your blogging life! It has perfected the art of taking good natured jabs at mormon culture (especially the Provo, female, 18, and married variety). Check it out-you won't be disappointed...

So I know vinyl wall decals are everywhere but I found this woman on Etsy who has some very cute and surprisingly original decals for a good price. I always think of Robyn when I see stuff like this ( such a cute way to make your mattress a bed) but they also have some things that would be adorable if you need to refresh the look of your nursery or family room. Check out the rest of her stuff on etsy-her username is Elephannie.

Be honest-how many times have you wanted to leave a slightly menacing note on the car of some JackA who took up three stalls in the parking lot with his lifted Dodge Ram? Maybe you've dreamed of someday getting up the nerve to key that inconsiderate car. Well for those of us not quite ready to take that daring a leap someone's gone and created these little beauties. They're business cards you won't feel too guilty about sticking in the windshield of those people who have lost that particular part of the brain that allows them to park like the rest of the human race. Now that is a compromise I can live with.


I thought this was a cute idea-mom got me once of these display cases from Martha Stewart's craft collection and I've been racking my brain trying to think of possible things to do with it. This may do the trick. Any other ideas or thoughts?


Ok Ladies-we need your help. Mom and I are trying to put together an "Indiana Jones Adventure" for the grandkids this year at Sundance. We're thinking of doing an obstacle course loosely based off the movies. Any good ideas for the different obstacles, costumes, goodies?

Fine

Fine, since L wants me to stick to baking I will blog about my latest baby. Not that it was just soooo amazing that I have to blog the recipe, but the fact I whipped it up Sunday night just with whatever ingredients I had leftover. Behold, my lime souffles. . . ewwwwww-ahhhhhh.

B.T.W. I have to give props to Taft because I wouldn't attempt half the stuff I try if he wasn't just as into it as I was. Here he is peaking the egg whites.

The pre-bake.
TaDaaaaa. Don't mind my post Sunday napness, just lust over this perfect souffle. And look at how cute my Ralph Lauren over sized nightshirt is. Once again, I would have preferred some brownies, but I think I finally got souffles out of my system. They're just not for me.

All My Children...

Robyn, I was going to be the most thoughtful sister and send you flowers to congratulate you on starting school. I found a sweet bouquet that actually came in a cute little teacup with matching saucer. It made me think of our conversation about teacups while I drooled over the discontinued china at edish. Well, I almost got it then I figure I'd save the money for a trip out to see you (which I know you'd like better) but then I found you this entirely different and original "bouquet" using vintage teacups and I knew you'd love them just as much as I do! So, with all my love, here...


For us single, childless folk (yeah that's just ME) my babies-the things that take up my time, energy, and love-are my projects. So here are a few of my would be projects-I'll let you know if they survive my parenting skills and how they turn out...

These pillows put a new spin on the silhouette craze going around. How easy would these be to make-even if it was just with some colorful felt cut outs?! I'm especially a fan of the two rectangular pillows...

I'm eagerly anticipating moving into my new house this fall. And it's not just because I'll be escaping the clutches of my CRAZY-A roommate, it's got a lot of potential to be awesome with fun projects like this:
Mom has told me about using fabric and starch to wallpaper but I always thought the task sounded too large to handle. Smaller accents like this I could dominate! It gave me an epiphany to combine this particular DIY project with the urban outfitter wall decal (see below) I've been mooning over and save myself $40!

Obviously it wouldn't be quite as intricate but some sort of variation would work. The best part is you just add a little water to take it down when I'm ready to move out!

It was love at first sight when I laid eyes on this bird mobile! Upon closer inspection I totally thought of Robyn and her cute vintage fabrics (she made the Alivia banner from them). I found a free pattern for these pretty birds (said like the blind kid on Dumb and Dumber) so let me know if you want me to email it to you. Seems like a pretty easy sew-by-hand project and I just found this online site that has pretty unique fabrics that would work well.
