Started September Birthday Cards

It turns out that September is a big birthday month. (And yes, that IS an accordion.)

Finished Birthday Invitations

I like to make invitations as difficult as possible for some reason so they always take me much longer than I plan. In this case, I chose to make them an odd size so I had to make envelopes to fit.

No matter how much trouble they may be, I always love the way the turn out.

Today I

Made Koolaid Lipgloss

This simply involved melting Vaseline and mixing in Koolaid powder. It turned out really well except that I didn’t realize my Vaseline was baby powder scented. Gross. You do not want that on your lips.

I would definitely try this again with regular Vaseline.

Made Strawberry Shortcake Rice Krispy Treats

Ok. Not ALL of our projects are food projects, but having some form of rice krispy treat is a tradition when my sister visits. (Cinnamon Toast Crunch Treats – to die for.)

The Strawberry Shortcake recipe involves mixing angel food cake in with the rice krispies and serving with strawberries and whip cream. It was pretty good, but I wish we would have added more cake. Ah, hindsight

Tried A New Pinterest Recipe

My sister and I have vowed to do a ton of fun stuff while she’s here. We generally sit around watching episodes of Psych and eating Ginger Elizabeth ice cream sandwiches, but we want to actually accomplish a few things this time.

We found a recipe for baked spaghetti on Pinterest. The original recipe called for letting frozen dough thaw and rise and yada yada, but we used the new canned pizza dough (in the biscuit section). It worked great and the spaghetti was delish. We ate it while watching the Indiana Jones trilogy. Can you believe she’s never seen it?!
