Friday Funnies - Valentines Decor gone bad...

So, I was browsing through the Better Homes and Gardens and I saw this cute idea for a Valentine Decoration.  I love decorating my home for Valentines and I have WAY too much fabric on my hands, so I decided I could make this.  It's a banner that you hang up, and it says L O V E...with a heart at each end.  I chose the "no-sew" method, using wonder under to attach the letters and Fabri-Tac glue too attach it to the hanging cord.


I decided that I would put one letter on each side of a piece of fabric, then just fold it over the cord.  I planned to hang it between my dining room and living room, so it could be read from both rooms.  This is where it all goes downhill...

I layed it out on the cord and viewed it....lookin' good...Stormie checked my spelling and gave me the paws up!

THEN....

I flipped the letters over to see how the other side looked.

Let me just give you a little lesson here.  When you want something to read on two sides, you don't put the SAME letter back to back.  It don't come out perty!

Are you sure you're ready for this?

 

Yup....this is what it said... Stormie was not pleased.

Keep going...

Seriously...it's down there....

Luckily I was able to correct it though, glad I checked this before HANGING it up!!! LOLOLOL  oh ... sigh.

Have a laughter filled Friday!

Friday Funnies ~ Stormies Fall Vacation...

(For more laughs, please pop over to Kim's blog for her Friday Funnies meme)

Last year we went on a Fall Vacation...we couldn't take our precious little punkin', Stormie with us.  Sooooo, we brought her "alternate personality" along...  Ok, I did say "we" but truly, my husband had no part in this....he was just a pawn in my odd little photography scheme, lol.

You might think this is funny....OR you might think we are strange (which wouldn't be too off base). 

"PLEEEEAASE can I have a cookie?"...

 "Dad, why are you workin' on vacation?  Can we go out and play?"

"Hey Dad!  Wake up!  Wake up!  Wake up!"

"Wow...I love this sunroof thingie!"

"I am the master climber!  I have conquered Tallulah Gorge!"

"Thanks for the chip Dad"

"Wow...hiking makes me hungry!"

"Whew, I'm worn out.  Think I'll snuggle up with Dad on the couch"

"Can we go outside?"

"Yea!  I love playing in the leaves...this is way cool Mom!"

"Thanks for letting me read your Bible...I forgot mine"

"Do I look cute?  Or is that waterfall sticking out of the top of my head?"

"Man!  That's a long trail...and all uphill...can you carry me?"

"What?  No seatbelt?  I'm calling PETA!!!"

"This is so cool...it's like playing a video game"

"Wow, Mom.  Is that the 'Big City'?"

"No dogs allowed?  Um, you coulda sat outside.  I hope you bring me a chicken sandwich"

Mammo's Gingerbread

My Grandma always made Gingerbread (her Mom's recipe) when I would visit her.  Gingerbread is so good at anytime, breakfast, snack (with coffee of course) or dinner dessert.

Did you ever try the "Minty Mocha" from Starbucks?  If you did, did you fall in love with it?  I did.  But love can be costly, so I decided to make it at home!

I had a gazillion leftover candy canes from decorating my house...so I crushed them in a zippy bag with a hammer...

Until they looked like this...

Then I brewed some of my favorite coffee...while that was happening I whipped some fresh whipping cream with just smidge of sugar...

Add to your coffee some chocolate syrup or some Ghiradelli hot cocoa powder, then stir in some of those crushed candy canes as a sweetener and flavoring....top with PLENTY of that freshly whipped cream...Oh YUM!

Don't forget to give a little bit of whipped cream to the dog.... :)

And here's my Friday Funny...another song...

Friday Funnies ~ Homemade Pinata...

Today I'm joining my bestest girlfriend, Kim, for her Friday Funnies meme...because we all need a good laugh now and again. :)  If you need one, go HERE.

The title of my Friday Funny is:  Store bought Pinatas are WORTH the money! LOLOL

SOOOO, IF you know Kim, then you definitely know that her house is full of boxes right now.  Her son's 8th birthday is this Sunday and we decided to have his party at my house since we weren't highly interested in playing "who can empty the box in 10 seconds" as a party game.

I don't personally remember the details of this conversation, but we were sitting there chatting and asking the birthday boy what he would like me to make for dinner and discussing general party fun.  When somehow I mentioned a pinata, that conversation lasted about 10 seconds and we moved on.

The next day Kim mentioned that Jeffrey was pretty much expecting a pinata.  Oh.  Hmmmmm.  So, on my next trip to Wally World I perused their selection of $15 pinatas....sponge bob, some strange character with metal nails, tinkerbell....none of these were gonna work for me.  When I was growing up (in a border town), pinatas were a dime a dozen, and they didn't follow "themes" for the most part.  You could easily find a bright colorful party pinata for cheap.  Being the ever frugal gal that I am, I decided "I can JUST make one!!!"....OK????

So, 3 days before the party, (late in the day I might add), I begin researching online about how to make a pinata.  It seems they require 3 layers of paper mache over a balloon.  Each layer must dry completely before the next layer is applied...it takes 24 hrs for a layer to dry. 

I whip out the brain and do some math...

At this rate, the pinata will be ready TO DECORATE by Sunday NIGHT....the party is Sunday evening.  For some reason I GO AHEAD with my plan?????  I am certain that in Florida heat the 24 hr drying period does not apply.

The idea is to blow up a balloon, make some flour and water paste, tear strips of newspaper and layer over the balloon.  I can't find a large balloon, so I decide to make it a funky shape and use 5 (yes FIVE) little water balloons all tied together.  Don't ask, just read.

So, I blow up my 5 little tiny balloons and secure them all together at the tips, thinking somehow that wet, soggy newspaper will make them stop moving around????  I begin layering.  The balloons refuse to cooperate, and continue to squish around.  I decide perhaps FIVE is too many and I will choose the 3 largest ones to keep and get rid of the other 3.  How do you get rid of balloons that have already been covered in goopy flour and water mixture?

You pop them with a pin of course.

You just don't do it while standing in your dining room.  Near your antique hutch.  In front of your cloth covered dining chairs.  6 feet away from your freshly cleaned sliding glass doors (you would THINK 6 feet would be ok), and pretty curtains, 3 feet away from your large dining room mirror...just don't do that.

But I did. 

I couldn't take a photo, because my hands were literally COVERED in goop.  But when I pierced the balloons (oh so carefully, so as not to cause a splatter)...the goop flew in ALL directions around my dining room.  I found it on my Berkey water filter, my curtains, my hutch, my glass doors, my mirror, an extremely LARGE glop landed on my dining chair (and refuses to leave), the floor was spattered, the dining table was spattered....let's just say "It weren't purty folks".

Did I give up?  NO!  Determined to beat that Sunday night time line, I quickly cleaned up goop and proceeded to cover my two med/large balloons in paper mache.  Let me stop right here for a moment.

I don't mean to be rude, but two balloons hanging side by side just don't look "nice".  I began to fear that this pinata would be inappropriate...then I decided when it was all said and done and covered in fluffy bits of tissue paper and pointy cones (Because I have a picture in my head)...it would be fine...

So, here I sit 55 hrs before the party....the 1st layer has not completely dried yet.  My goop bowl from yesterday is in the garage sink, still "soaking", I won't be able to begin a second layer until after I come home from grocery shopping several hours from now....  Chances are I will spend the money and purchase a pinata....I can always rip off sponge bobs face and add a picture of a tractor...right?

I'll keep you posted. :)
