My gourmet rice crispy treats

Made rice crispy treats for my 7 yr old sons class. I put 'em on a cookie sheet and used a cookie cutter to make the stars, cut out an ornament with the cricut and put in a clear bag. My son said that all the kids were raving about them and wanted the recipe, how cute is that.... oh what makes them "gourmet" is that I colored and melted frosting and drizzled over the rice crispy treats and let it dry before I bagged. Thought I'd share, made using the side of the box recipe, enjoy

It's finally over! and a new one begins :)

So Christmas is finally over, the shopping, the wrapping, and pretty much the chaos. Although the tree is still up (not for long) and there are still a couple of gifts under there for my nephew, son's Godfather and sister in law, it's officially over! As for New Years, who knows where we will be now that husband has the Wii and of course Guitar Hero (the whole band!) going. It's actually pretty fun, but I can't wait until we finally get our hands on a Wii Fit (tooo hard to find at the moment) anyhooooooo , here was my Christmas card (one of a couple I made)

*I know you can't see the paper, but it's glitter"y" and I used my new Cuttlebug to emboss the middle white section...Hello love that thing

It's beginning to look a lot like christmas!

It's me, still christmas shopping and wrapping, finished my big invitation order the first week of dec, still working on cards and will have pics of stuff that I have completed soon. I got my Cuttlebug so that is a new chapter in my scrappy life.

Christmas is almost here :)

So Christmas is almost here and I am working on invitations to get out by Friday, then I need to start working on school stuff for both my sons and of course take care of the household. I'm glad that Thanksgiving is over, but sad to see another year have gone by so quickly. I know I need to start updating more often, but I will post a couple of my past projects and more to come.

April 29, 2008 another hot day

I've been feeling a bit under the weather .. so today was a day of sleep and rest, ran to pick up the kids from school, made a snack and then more rest. Husband is hard at work on his puzzle and watching the kids. I finally felt a little better after dinner to start on a baby scrapbook for my friend who wasn't due until the end of May, but may have her baby by the end of this week. Well back to work on the baby scrapbook, kids are finally in bed.

Hot day in April

So today it was a HOT day here in Southern California and after our shower handle broke (then finally fixed) we all got ready and headed off to see my husband play softball. Going in with the attitude (this is an easy team to beat) well they lost! Anyhow no scrapbooking today.. just relax with some good Mex food and an horchata (rice water drink) and kids all worn out from a good 5 hours at the park. I guess my relaxation lasted just about a half hour! Then of course to the nightly ritual of getting everything ready for Monday!
