Space Wedding Cutlery

I printed the sentiment on to

business card size

and then cut the foil paper

just a bit larger

With a corner cutter I rounded them

Then using 

double sided tape 

I put the cards together

I cut strips to go around the napkins

and taped them to the cards

Slide the napkin in

back

 

 Front

Slide in utensils and you are done

Flower Girl Ball

We started with a 5 in ball

With wide ribbon wrapped it aropund the ball

and tied 2 knots

using pearl pins and silk hydragena flowers

we went around the ball in a circle

After covering the ball 

rhinestone bling

was added

(sort of looked like constellations)

Bending a wire w

the gem at the end twisting it

I twisted the taila round a pin 

then cut the excess off

then applied them here and there

Thai Butternut Soup

I made this soup last night

Kraft Thai Butternut Soup

I did have a few adjustments

I could not find the Kraft dressing so I ended up 

substituting Sam's Choice Sweet Lime Cilantro Dsg

• 1/4 cup Kraft Italian Zesty Lime Dressing (I subbed Sam's Choice Sweet Lime Cilantro since I could not find the Kraft one
• 4 cups chopped peeled butternut squash (I bought free pre-chopped squash)
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 Tbsp. curry powder
• 3 cups 25%-less-sodium chicken broth
• 1 can (400 mL) lite coconut milk
• 1/2 cup chopped dry roasted peanuts
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

                                    Dump all ingredients except cilantro and                              peanuts into a slow cooker 

•                                  and cook until squash is soft

•                                    Using a immersion blender, puree the                                  squash or pour into blender
•                                   in small batches; blend until smooth
•                                  Serve topped with nuts &  cilantro. 
•                           (I used toasted pumpkin seeds)
