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





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




  • 4 cups chopped peeled butternut squash (I bought free pre-chopped squash)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups 25%-less-sodium chicken broth
  • 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)
  •                          I also had some crusty bread with it
