Martha Stewart, Eat Yer Heart Out....
Sunday, August 19, 2007
In my family EVERYONE does well with crafts. I, however, through some twist of fate received none of their gifts. My sister paints, and does it really well, plus she comes up with all this other really unique stuff. My mom can make anything as can my niece. As I stated before, I do NOT posess any of their talents. I may scrapbook, but I haven't ever done that since we moved here, over a year ago. I am good at making cake mix cupcakes, baking them in cones and letting the kidz decorate them. I only do it on their birthdays so they can take them into their classes. This simple feat is my one accomplishment in the being a creative baker. Kinda sad, huh?
Recently though, I had another burst of creativity. Joey bought me a boquet of lilac roses...my favorite. Even though we didn't have the money really, who could pass up 19 long stemmed roses for $8? They were discounted at the place we do not speak of. I couldn't bear to throw them away, even as they sat withered and heads droopped low. I came up with a marvelous idea. I took this-------->
<-----And made this!!!Dang it, I'm a regular old Martha in the making...NOT....I was scared to make pine cone turkeys one year in Sunday School with the kidz I taught because that whole thing just intimidated me....I instead found one to make with a potato, some toothpicks and candy corn!Labels: crafts, cupcakes, flowers, potpourri
