Sparkly Crown Wall Art

My niece loves all things princess. When I visited for Thanksgiving we played princess at least 5 times each day. I have had this chip board crown since I got back from their house and just got around to finishing it up.

The sparklies say they shouldn't be eaten by anyone under 12. I guess those of us over 12 can chow down. Mindy don't let her gnaw on it.

Count Your Blessings

Second necklace which might end up as a charm anklet or bracelet. I'm not so sure on this one due to the size of the charms, but I think each piece is really cute.

Ignore the fact that I strung them backwards on the chain for English readers.

Nana Necklace

My sister asked me to make some necklaces for grandmothers for Mother's day. My own mom won't wear jewelry or I'd make her all kinds of stuff!

April Fool's Cake

As leaders we decided it might be a good idea to issue an April Fool's Day challenge to our teams with a few rules to try to stave off more elaborate antics. One of the things our team decided to do was to gift a cake to our suspicious victims. Although there is nothing at all wrong with the cake we hope they will be too afraid to test it. After a few hours our team plans to head over and start cutting and eating their cake to show them that their fear was unfounded. 

I tried out some fancy frosting techniques, but decided something messy with the green disco dust looked a little more suspicious. The center is filled with raspberry preserves. I've also been trying out adjustments for high altitude and I think it's helping my cake texture a lot.
