Craft Night with the Family

After a busy day with the husband, it’s craft night with my mom and sisters! Actually I should clarify- it’s glitter night!

Old Christmas light bulbs covered in glitter. We just covered the cleaned bulbs in Elmer’s glue and shook on the glitter and finished with a spray of Mod Podge spray acrylic. Viola!

Glittery wine glasses. Same technique as above. FYI- we got these glasses at the Dollar Tree for $1 each. That’s what I call a bargain!

Last project for the night was a personalized iPhone cover- of course, it was glitter!! Again, same technique, but added a coat of clear nail polish mixed with the glitter on top of the coat of Mod Podge.

These were all super easy and fun projects and just make you smile because there is so much glitter! And seriously I love Mod Podge- it does everything! Have fun 🙂

Pinterest Pumpkin

So in the spirit of Halloween, since apparently I am too old to trick or treat, I decided to try a recipe I’ve been seeing floating around on Pinterest (click the button at bottom of page to follow me on Pinterest). I went for the 2 Ingredient pumpkin cake: cake mix and canned pumpkin. Yep that’s it! I was a little skeptical as to how this would actually turn out without the eggs, oil and water, but you know what? It actually worked!

Here’s a pic of the final product with some orange cream cheese icing to boot!

My thoughts on this recipe:
1) definitely a must because it is super easy
2) tastes more like a pumpkin bread than cake, but still yummy
3) next time I will use spice cake instead of just plain yellow cake to get that fall flavor I love

Oh and did I mention I am eating it for breakfast today?

Enjoy!
