Giving Glass Tinting a Whirl...

I woke up feeling crafty...

Thought I would try to tint glass!

My uber creative friend Courtney did it

&

they turned out so cute!

 1 tablespoon of Modge Podge, 8 drops of food coloring, 

& 

a little water

 Bake on 200

upside down for 10 minutes

&

then right side up 

for 20-30 minutes

 makes for a cute decoration!

after 2

...or 3

batches

I have 2 cute tinted class pcs!

Cousins!

Izzy painted Lulu's nails!

 Lulu

Apparently Iz got the cooking gene!

She made homemade sloppy joes from scratch!

They were delicious!!!

 &

red velvet cupcakes

(they were yummy!)

 Aspen was her sous chef!

Feeling Grateful!

I know that I am blessed

but today

for some reason

I am feeling 

particularly

GRATEFUL!!!

 Maybe it's because 

I love the beginning of every season

especially

FALL!!!

Too early to break out my pumpkins?

No Way!

 NEVER

too early for

Owls

(even though this is a Halloween lantern!)

 Happy beginning of

FALL!!!

Breaking out my Fall goodies!!!

My boys!
