Day 14 - Food Bucket List

The hubby and I are catching up on our DVR tonight and the first show on the list: Master Chef Jr. These little kids are making beef wellington, which I've never had. It made me think. What are some foods you'd like to try? Here are some of my wish list foods:

  • Beef Wellington
  • Alaskan King Crab
  • Maine Lobster
  • Serendipity's Frozen Hot Chocolate
  • Kobe Beef
  • Philly Cheesesteak (from Philadelphia)
  • French Macaroons
  • Baked Alaska
  • Chocolate (anything) at The Spa at the Hotel Hershey

Custom Faux/Foam Pumpkin Tutorial

Image
A couple of weeks ago I posted about different ways to decorate pumpkins for Halloween and fall. Below is a photo tutorial for how to carve your own custom faux foam pumpkins. Start with the image of your choosing. This design needed some spacing added so that the pumpkin didn't fall apart! Gather your supplies - any size foam craft pumpkins; printed design (to fit); pencil; masking tape; thumb tacks; traditional pumpkin carving kit poker or paper piercer; heated knife. Here's a closer look at the heated knife kit (sold at most craft stores). Layout your design on your pumpkin, securing in position. I like to use both masking tape and thumb tacks. Poke around the design making sure to leave gaps in any connected spaces. After I have the design poked onto the pumpkin I like to remove the paper and draw the design by connecting the dots to make sure that there isn't any space that is going to get cut out inadvertently. Carefully carve out your

Birth Week & Wishes

Image
It's birth week!! I sit here thinking about how I used to make out a birthday list every year. And soon after a Christmas list. As I grew older, I made general wish lists that encompassed lots of different things for various holidays, which then turned into goal lists, and now I have "to do" lists. Actually, not only do I have "to do" lists, but I have post-its and dry erase boards and reminders on my phone and email for things that I have to accomplish. Getting older my dreams have turned into tasks; not things that I want to do but things that I have to do. So here's a list of wishes instead of tasks... GROW my business into more than a hobby Take time to RELAX; manicures, massages, dancing in my living room EAT DESSERT first and maybe just by itself Tell people how thankful I am for THEM Spend time with my FAMILY Buy PRESENTS for others, just because TRAVEL somewhere new Be okay with SAYING NO Make a CHRISTMAS LIST Take my DOG for walks

Designer Pumpkins

Image
Have you seen all those fancy pumpkins all over Facebook and Pinterest and thought that you couldn't duplicate the finished product? Well, YOU CAN!! One year, I really wanted a Tinker Bell jack-o-lantern. This was before fancy templates, Pinterest, and digital cameras. So not only did I have no guide for what I wanted to accomplish, but I have no proof that it turned out amazing. I will give a disclaimer that I have a strange ability to look at something and replicate it pretty closely. I have several coffee mugs from my college internship at Walt Disney World and loved one of Tinker Bell stuck in the keyhole of a door. I thought it would be pretty cute if she was pushing out of a pumpkin instead. I took out my trusty sketch book and went to work. After sketching the image I went back in with a sharpie to make sure that I had sections left intact so as to not have a giant hole instead of a Tinker Bell outline. It was adorable and reminded me of the scene from Peter Pan wh
