Sunday Smiles

I don't know about you, but seriousness has been hanging in the air recently. Like, so much so that you can feel it.

I've been reading some serious books.
I'm doing serious work at the office.
The dramatic weather has been very serious.
Tensions are high, keeping everyone in a serious frame of mind.

Then I saw this dancing man at the car wash yesterday. And I smiled. That was all I really needed - something to smile about. 

So on this Sunday, we're not going to tackle a serious subject. I'm going to share some smiles with you instead. Please take them with you into the week, keep them with you for the serious times, and share them freely as you see they're necessary.

* If you're having a bad day, just remember that the airport in Salzburg, Austria, has a counter for people who flew to Austria instead of Australia.

* Have you heard of the new music group called cellophane? They mostly wrap.

* Did you know if you hold a squirrel up to your ear, you can hear what it's like to be attacked by a squirrel?

* Just sold my two homing pigeons on eBay for the 25th time...

* Where did Captain Hook buy his hook? At the second hand store.

* How many times do I have to click "I accept cookies" before they actually send me the cookies?

* Trying to understand some people is like trying to smell the color 9.

* My mind is like someone, for some reason, opened my junk drawer and decided to dump it on the trampoline.

* Doctors are saying that each piece of bacon you eat takes 9 minutes off your life. Using that math, I died in 1732.

* Out of all the inventions in the last 100 years, the dry erase board is the most remarkable.

* Scraped my elbow digging for gold. Just a miner injury.

* A cashew and a pistachio threw a party. It was nuts.

* I used to think I was indecisive. Now I'm not so sure.

* You can differentiate between an alligator and a crocodile by paying attention to whether the animal see you later or in a while.

* If you say gullible really slow, it sounds like orange...

* I'm super lazy today. It's like regular lazy but I'm wearing a cape.

* What do dentists call their x-rays? Tooth-pics.

* Tongue twister champion arrested. Given a tough sentence.

* Just ordered a chicken and an egg from Amazon...I'll let you know.

Holland Creme - That Amazing White Stuff In Donuts

Image
I remember going to the grocery store every Saturday morning when I was growing up, and my favorite place in the entire store was the donut case. All the glazed, powdered and filled baked goods drew me like a magnet. My favorites, far and away, were the ones filled with that beautiful white, fluffy creme. At the time I didn't know it was called Holland Creme - I just knew it was the most amazing concoction ever. Ever. Here is my version of this sweet treat. You can make your own fried donuts and fill them, or like I did here, you can cut a crevice into store-bought donuts with a knife and fill them with creme in a piping bag. Either way, you're going to love it. Ingredients: 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup water 1 cup vegetable oil 1 cup shortening 1 cup butter 1 Tbsp vanilla 7 cups powdered sugar 1. Make a simple syrup by combining sugar and water in a sauce pan over medium heat until boiling, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool complet...

Recovering An Old Card Table And Making It Usable Again

Image
This card table recover project has been on my to-do list for months. I've been using it as my workspace in the craft room for quite some time, and it sees a lot of abuse. Here it is now, with a neutral cover on it so I can take better pictures for my tutorials. There were dents and dings in the old blue covering from metal tools. And yes, I've used my embossing heat tool on it several times, leaving pretty good scars. The padding underneath the blue cover also made it difficult to keep paper crafts flat when adhering them together, so it was time for something new. That's where a simple vinyl tablecloth comes in handy. The process to recover the table is pretty simple, but I learned a couple of lessons the hard way. I share them with you now. First, don't do this on any surface but a carpet. I tried it on the deck int he sunshine to get better pictures, but all it did was tear up the cover. Second, get a second pair of hands to help you kee...

Crafts For Teen Girls To Make

Image
In our teen girls Bible study, we're studying our way through the Proverbs 31 woman and it's been such a blessing to me, as I hope it's been to them. Every month we spend an afternoon or an evening together studying Scripture, making something amazing in the kitchen and creating something that corresponds to the verse we're in. Choosing the crafts each time can be a challenge for several reasons. It needs to be something they can completely finish (or do most of) because once they leave they're probably not going to work on it themselves - that's just the nature of teenagers. Remember? It also needs to be a project that keeps they're attention, is age-appropriate and is cool enough that they'll want to keep it or give it to someone special. But hey, no pressure on the Bible study leader, right? Here are just a few of the projects we've done together in the year we've been meeting. * This month's craft will be the adorable cross stit...
