Duck Dynasty & Camo Cupcakes

For the season premier of Duck Dynasty, one of Mark's new favorite shows and the show if which we have a son he will be named after, I made Mark some camo cupcakes that I found on Pinterest. 

 First I mixed a vanilla cake mix and a chocolate cake mix. Then I separated the mixes and added green food coloring to create the camo effect. For the lighter green I used the vanilla mix with 13 drops of food coloring. The nasty green was vanilla cake mix, some chocolate mix, and 10 drops of food coloring. The lighter brown was a combination of vanilla and chocolate mix. The darker was chocolate mix and some blue and green food coloring. 

 Then I dropped the mix into the cups using a spoon. A dollop of one color, then another. Once full, I marbled them using a toothpick. 

 For this pan I used smaller drops and left them alone. I think this worked best!

 This is how they turned out after the came out of the oven.

They turned out both cute, although Mark will argue that camo isn't cute, and delicious and we enjoyed our night. I do have to admit I love this show too! And yes, if we have a boy his name is Jase!

Happy Anniversary

And So Our Family Begins

Mark and I are so very excited to announce the addition to our family come April! Baby Wimbish is set to arrive around April 8th and we could be more happy!

August Craft Night

Well, August came and went and I never posted pictures of our Craft Night so here they are... We made back-to-school totes. Even those of us who aren't school aged had a blast. Many made the "no sew" ruffle tote (idea came from here) while some decided to use the doily and paint method (found here). We also had some very cute Pinterest-inspired snacks thanks to Bev and Kay.

Thank you to all the ladies who came out and joined us! Especially our first-timers Lisa and Janice! I look forward to Craft Night each month and truly have a great time and good fellowship with all of you! Here comes October...

And More Vinyl

So as sappy as it may be, Mark and I have this little saying... One of us says "I love you" the other says "I love you more" and then the first person says "I love you more than your more". Now while you may be getting some crackers to go with that 'cheezeness' its what we do and a way to show each other how much we love the other. It originated when we saw it on a sign at a craft show and I have been kicking myself ever since for not getting it. I wanted to include the saying in our bedroom in some way but have too many frames so I busted out the Cricut and some vinyl and viola...
