I shoot like a girl.

aaaaaaand another craft! :) woooo! So, hobby lobby had canvases on sale for dirt cheap.  That only means one thing - paint, paint, paint! Here's what I came up with... The letters are all made with my beloved silhouette, the rest is done by hand. Can't wait to hang these up in my new room :)

Bryce Bridges - Photography Class

Here are some of my shots from my photography class today in Omaha.  Bryce Bridges taught the class.. you can find him and his work here. 

 

this next picture is actually going up a building...

rainbow yumminess.

Okay... so let's start off by saying that I am on a blogging spree this week - I mean, 3 days in a row... come on now... 

Anyway! back to the good stuff -- tie die cupcakes and frosting! WOO! These cupcakes are kind of a pain in the butt -- but they are super cool in the end.

First: buy some cake mix and mix 'er up real good.

then lick off the spoons, of course...

then use food coloring to make the batter all sorts of colors....

do the same thing to the frosting...

then carefully place the colored batter in patterns

then place the awesome colored frosting on each side of the inside of ziplock bags

ta-da! 

then, if you just can't resist..... you can make cute little topper flags :)

AND THE FINISHED PRODUCTS:

Okay, so the lighting in our kitchen is horrible.... and some pictures are blurry... so what? sue me... 

:) and for the record....they are delicious! :)

fireworks & such :)

I spent the entire weekend of the 4th at the lake with the fam.  The sand volleyball tournament got a little heated and the fireworks were basically never-ending.  Happy July eeerrrrybody! :)
