This weekend, we made clay necklaces.
It was so easy, we went back to Michaels yesterday for more clay and invited my 3 nieces over to join the fun. It think we made over 40 hearts and flowers. The girls got creative and personalized some of them with my alphabet fondant cutters. I got the idea from Muffin Tin Mom.
The clay cost $1.29 a block and you can get 6-7 shapes out of one block. So inexpensive, my girls want to make these for their classmates for Valentine's Day. We've already made enough to cover almost everybody. However, for classmate gifts we won't be spending the $2.99 per child for a silver chain. So, I bought colored hemp for those and it works great.
I also made the Pioneer Woman's Perfect Pound Cake. Made with Sprite and super-easy. Also, delicious!! I'm making another one today to take to bible study tonight.
Also, check out this video of CFA on Nightline. I have to admit I would totally camp out for a free sandwich every week for a year. Well, I would for a chicken biscuit. Love that place.
I love this post by Sally Clarkson. This is why I love her so much. She 'lives' what she writes about in her books. Always reminding us our first priority has to be our heavenly Father. He provides for us in unimaginable ways and remembering that sets us free to enjoy life and His blessings. I'm looking forward to that new book (which she has so graciously agreed to let me review for my blog! Can't wait!).
Happy Monday! Did you have the day off from work/school as well? Here's to spending the day in your pj's!!

The poundcake sounds wonderful. It doesn't exactly go with my New Year's Resolution but I may have to try it anyway.
You have me looking forward to Sally Clarkson's new book.
What a great idea & a fun gift to give to classmates for Valentines Day!!! I bet they do look great on the colored hemp ... that's the fashionable way to wear necklaces anyways! ;)
Could you just take a day off once in a while?? I did NOTHING creative or constructive with my girls this weekend- they just played outside the entire time and soaked up the sunshine!! :-) I feel lazy now! Mom makes that lb cake using orange flavoring and orange crush soda, then she makes a glaze to drizzle over the top- YUMMY! Have a great week and call me when you can. Love ya, Cathy
