Beautiful words.

I love this quote so much!

Gators!

Okay, in case you didn't know, I happen to be a very big Florida Gators fan. So the other day when my father bought me home a roll of Gator duct tape, I of course needed something to put it on. That thing just so happened to be my laptop. It only took a few minutes and I happen to love it!

Rollin' in the crafts!

I've been trying to get a little more organized lately, but that doesn't mean I can't make organization look cute!



Before, it was just a little too plain to me.



I started by spray painting the frame light blue and the drawers yellow, but it was still too plain for me.



I had these how to paint bird books, so I cut out some of my favorite ones.



I glued the birds onto the front of the drawers. It was super easy and I love the way it turned out!

Happy Valentines Day!!!

This Valentines day I wanted to do something special for my coworkers at church. So I decided to make homemade goodies for them. I looked for a good no bake recipes and I found these peanut butter truffles. They were so easy to make so I thought I'ed share.



I started by melting the butter and peanut butter together.



Then after it was all melted I added the flour, sugar, and vanilla.




Once everything was together I rolled the ingredients into balls and let them set in the freezer for an hour.



Before I dipped them in the chocolate covering I added my own spin on things by sprinkling a little cocoa powder and powder sugar on top.



After they set I melted some chocolate chips on the stove and covered them. Later I wrapped them in plastic and a put them in some snazzy bags. Everyone said they loved them so I though I'ed share.


Now I changed the original recipe a little because I was making more than it called for but I'm going to post the original one that I got from www.cookingwithchopin.blogspot.com

It's a great blog and you should check it out!

5 tbsp butter
1/4 cup peanut butter (preferably natural)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour

Coating:
3 tbsp butter
1 (4 ounce) bar of bittersweet chocolate

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place butter and peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl, and melt in 30-second increments in the microwave, stirring occasionally.

Stir in the sugar and vanilla. Add the flour in three batches, stirring to combine well each time. Dough will be quite thick.

Working with about 1/2 a tablespoon at a time, roll dough between your palms into round balls. Place on baking sheet and freeze until very firm, about 1 hour.

For the coating, melt butter and chocolate together in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth.

Using a toothpick, spear peanut butter balls one at a time and dip into chocolate. Tap lightly against the side of the pan to remove excess chocolate. Place back on parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining balls and refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.
