30DPC Day Three

Today is Day Three of the 30 Day Photography Challenge.  It just so happens that I dyed my hair today, and it worked with the theme! =)  I had a lot of fun with this one, so there are a few more pics today.  I actually took a lot, but narrowed it down to these.

30DPC Day Two

It is Day Two of the 30 Day Photography Challenge

Linen/Beige/Taupe

 Our living room wall is "Desert Sand" and is a tanish beigish color if you ask me....

 The shade of my bedside lamp is Linen covered


















Books on my bookshelf, I was thinking the one in the middle was a taupe color?  Yes, there are stones on my bookshelf. Grandma didn't call me Magpie for nuthin'. =)

Tutorial Tuesday #7: Awe Hell Edition

Awe hell, it's Tuesday! lol I totally forgot that it was Tuesday, sorry for the almost lateness of my tutorial! 

Cutting glass the not so dangerous way (well, there is fire involved...)

Please make sure you are doing this near the sink, with the windows open. 

You will need:
a drinking glass or a bottle to cut, yarn, nail polish remover, sink full of cold water, and a lighter.

First wrap your yarn around the glass 5-6 times.  Tie a knot, then trim off the excess yarn. 

Next, slide the yarn off and dip it into nail polish remover.

Slide the nail polish remover soaked yarn back onto the bottle in the exact spot and exact angle you want the glass cut. 

Light the soaked yarn on fire, turning the glass to make sure the glass is heated evenly. 
(the fire should only burn the soaked yarn since it has nothing else to catch on the bottle/glass)

Submerge the glass into the sink of cold water, let it separate on it's own. 

Voila! You have a cut bottle or glass without little shards, glass dust, or cutting yourself!

I found another crafty lady that has done this, visit her tutorial here.

Tutorial Tuesday #6: Recipe Time! Cookie Dough Dip

I was wondering what I should do today for Tutorial Tuesday (you'd think I would post, oh, I dunno, in the morning?!?!) and fell in love with The Best Cookie Dough Dip.  Original post can be found here.

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1 cup toffee bits

What to do

Cream together cream cheese and butter.  Add all remaining ingredients and mix until well-combined.

Serve with graham crackers or apple wedges. 

Voila! Party snack! (or you know, I hate myself comfort food) lol
