Salt Dough Ornaments


 On our countdown to Solstice, 
the tag of the day was to make Salt Dough ornaments...
so i searched online and found this recipe, so that is what we used!!

i have to say that it was pretty easy to mix up and then
we just used cookie cutters for our desired shape...

then in the oven they went to bake.
When they came out, they looked like the above pic.

Then we let them cool and pulled out the acrylic paints.


These are the ones that i made! You can't tell in the picture, but there is 
a light pink pearlesque sheen to them.
so pretty!!

i can't wait to hang them on our tree!!

Hope you are having a Great night!!!

You can't really tell, but the pink is a shimmer pink...very girly and sooo pretty!!! They were fun to make!! and then i added on a pink bow to the angels hair and the pink rose to the sleigh...i love how it gave them some dimension. :D

Wishing you peace, love, and good happiness stuff!!

Rainbow Cupcakes

 Hellooo!!!

i got to try something new today!! i made these adorable rainbow cupcakes!!! i was so happy with how they came out and it was so much easier than i thought it would be!!

i started out with just a box of white cake mix...i made it as the directions called for...and then i took out one cup and set it in a bowl...i did this four more times, until i had five bowls full...then i added red, yellow, green, blue and then blue and red (to make purple) to the cake mix. leaving me with a rainbow of colors.

Next, i put my paper wrappers in my cupcake pans and started slowly putting one teaspoon of red in the bottom of each liner...next i did the yellow...then the green...then blue...and finally the purple. (as long as the color completely covers the bottom...they do not mix...they stay layered and bake in that same layer).

Once i finished with all the colors...i baked them as directed and when they came out...voile!! i had rainbow cupcakes!!! i topped them with yummy vanilla frosting and enjoyed my rainbow goodness!! :)
