Congratulations Q!

It's a new season!  Things at work have changed with me taking less responsibilities, but I've been able to get involved with new projects.  I've been building some strong relationships with a few of my students.  My personal life is going through some interesting things...my self-love is growing and my desire to conform my life to God's will is intensifying.  I am so excited for the things to come.  My sister Fanya at Chocolate Pearls has inspired me to get back to my blog.  I'm going to start by sharing a craft project that I did for one of my students that just crossed Alpha Kappa Alpha.

The Gift of Thrift

So this post is way overdo!  Before I went on vacation, I organized a Holiday party for few co-workers.  Because it was right before Christmas, there was a theme of "Ugly Sweater" but no one had an ugly sweater surprisingly enough.  Prior to the party, I helped a co-worker go shopping for something to wear.

We went to our neighborhood Goodwill and found a ton of blazers.  Nothing fit me, but she it the walked out with a least 5 at about $6 each.  This green velvet blazer was one of them.  To update it, we went to Walmart and found new buttons for $2 a pack.

 

To bring it into the theme of the party we walked over to the jewelry section of Walmart and found a snowman broach for her to wear with the blazer.

How did we do?

Busy Times

Hello all!  So since getting back form Kentucky I have been very busy.  Crafting and baking has become my life!  Within the last 3 days I have made 5 dozen banana cupcakes!  I made them for Father's Day gifts for all the dads in my life...lots of friends are popping them out, l0l.  They were delicious and because they were so good, I was asked to make another couple dozen of different flavored cupcakes for a friends babyshower this Saturday.  So far I know I'm gonna make a chocolate, lemon, and vanilla cupcakes.  But they have to have a little something special going on so I have a few days to figure that out.  I'm gonna make a salted caramel cupcake tomorrow so that might end up being the chocolate cupcake.  I'll post pictures as soon as I figure out how to upload this pictures!

And for the crafts....I made a few cookbooks!  So again, when I have pictures I post them as well as step by step instructions on how you can make your very own cookbook!

Thanks for reading!
