My Eyeball Secret

To make my create a critters eyeballs come to life I use a really simple 2 step procedure. The only things you will need once your critter is made is a while gel pen and some glossy accents.

First I just put a little dot of white in the middle of the eye and let that dry. Then I put a generous amount of the glossy accents into the whole area of the eyeball. I let that dry overnight and then if need be I do another layer the next day and let that dry for a whole 24 hours as well. The pic below is the finished product! Isn't it adorable?!!



Here is a side view to show the demension of the glossy accents. I love glossy accents!!!

 Do you remember my first christmas card from one of my first blogs? I used my bff christmas present martha stewart glitter glue and blinged out rudolph and then I also used my glossy accents to do his eyeballs.

First Snow and Snow Cones!!!

We got our first snow fall yesterday. I'm totally NOT a snow person but seeing the joy on my sons face makes me a snow person. I love making him happy so we've been outside alot in the past 2 days! He's so into eating the snow and his little hands can't fit into the big kids gloves yet so I took a plastic toy of his and turned it into a snow cone holder for him.

See he's holding his snow cone while dodging a snowball from dad!

It's my sons first snow angel of the year!

We could only stand the cold long enough to make the butt of the snow man. haha!

We came inside and warmed up by eating more snow!

Then I had a fabulous idea of turning our snow cone into a colorful snowcone!! My son and I used food coloring and simple syrup and had fun decorating.

We even decorated our tongues!!

The simple syrup that I used to flavor the snow is a really quick and easy recipe. I used 2 cups sugar to 3/4 cups water. I brought that to a quick boil. Next I added my favorite flavor packet of koolaid gave it a stir and poured it into a heat safe jar. Sugar is really hot and takes awhile to cool down. It tastes so yummy on shaved ice or even your first fresh fallen snow. Yumm-O!!!

Adding Titles

It's official my cricut was packed up this morning and I took it to fedex to be returned. But last night I spent 4 hours cutting out these letters. Yeah... I'm nuts. I should have just waited for my new machine but I'm totally addicted.
