NOT Just Another Mom

I am signed up with a company/website called SheSpeaks and they just sent me something awesome to try! You know me, I don't mind trying and giving my opinions! They sent me Torani flavored syrups..Salted Caramel and Peppermint! What perfect timing with the cooler weather! As my hubby was fixing his famous hot chocolates, my daughter said," Why not try them with the new peppermint syrup from Torani?" I quickly measured two teaspoons in a cup of warmed milk and then my husband sprayed whipping cream on top. He then grated Hershey's milk chocolate on top and then put two pieces of chocolate on the topping as well. Oh, my! It was amazing! I was really surprised how yummy it was...I had tried the Pumpkin Spice before but it was no where as delicious! You can see by the pictures how yummy they looked!

I've been really busy lately with my sons and daughters extra curricular activities, so all my grand spectacular expectations of making lots of quilled ornaments just haven't happened....as of yet. So far, I've made one following a pattern from Charlotte Canup and you can purchase the directions here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/88314486/quilled-snowflake-inside-glass-ornament That was my first attempt at a quilled ornament, then I proceeded to try another snowflake of my own! The next one I wanted to try something different so I tried a Christmas stocking. I purchased the plastic ornaments at Hobby Lobby and then found some at Walmart as well. They have big and small round ones and even flat big ones! I hope that now I can make a little more time to create some more! What do you think?

Okay, I know sometimes when I get into something I tend to go overboard, but its just too much fun! Do you like to try new things just to see what you can do? Well, I get like that and I just want to see what I can come up with that will be different... I made three new pumpkins for three of my neighbors and the pictures show you three more colors from duct tape brand.

While checking out some blogs the other day, I came across a site at http://www.thevspotblog.com  and found an awesome idea for decorating a pumpkin with duct tape. Now being an Alabama fan I couldn't resist trying to make it. Here is her link for making it:  Houndstooth Pumpkin Tutorial I just used fabric paint to put on the logo. Cool, huh?!?!

While looking on Pinterest one day I found an interesting link for sensory bags for preschool classes. There were several fun ideas such as an ocean theme, alphabet theme, and they filled the bags with hair gel, water, and even shaving cream. We decided to try shaving cream in our bag and we used fun shapes to make stamp imprints and then the kids even had fun using their hand print in the shaving cream. This activity was really fun for those kids to had issues with getting their hands dirty.

My next-door neighbor had a birthday so I wanted to make something special. She is a cheerleader that I made a special birthday card for... The colors for her cheerleading squad were black, red, and white.
