This Week's Blog Post


Fun Lanyards
I got a chance to make the monkey lanyard!


I still need to make the owl lanyard! I just love these Peruvian cuties!!!

I am contemplating a big move and that is shutting down my website and sticking with eBay and Etsy. The reason being is the website requires so much maintenance and as I get busier, it is difficult to stay on top of. I certainly do not want this cutting into my Pinterest playtime and blog reading time! Decisions, decisions!

Purple Cheese Fondue
Yes, purple. Since Jim and I do not drink white wine, we used red. I did find one recipe online that called from red zinfandel so I knew this was not completely unheard of!


I know, it looks nasty. But trust me, it was delicious!
We used 8 ounces of sharp cheddar, 8 ounces of monterey jack and 1 cup of wine. That’s it! Well a little cornstarch too to thicken it. Since I have a difficult time digesting garlic, we left that out.

The best part was Jim’s idea, roasted potatoes!

We also roasted cauliflower, 

broccoli and 

zuchinni before dipping!!!!   

Another idea we did was raw red pepper chunks and grape tomatoes. Mmmm!
The best part was that this was totally fun!!!!

Well thank you all for stopping by! I am wishing you a fun, creative week! ~Val
