Etsy Shop is Slowly Reopening! AND A GIVEAWAY! :)

Image
I've been MIA in Etsy & my blog since we moved.  This is largely due to the fact that we don't have the super-fast, unlimited internet that we had in the Residence Hall on campus.  This is also partly due to the fact that I work "normal part-time" hours now (unlike when I was on campus, when I worked nights...so I had all day to craft! :) )  But, I'm determined to make time to craft! :) I have all morning and weekends, so why not, right?? Therefore, I'm slowly re-opening my Etsy shop! I've got two things listed right now, and I plan on adding more things soon! Once again, I have Passport Covers.  They'll be made-to-order because I sold out of the pre-made ones I had at the house. (They were a hit! :) )Here's a link! http://www.etsy.com/listing/69389144/handmade-passport-cover-with-elastic-and I'm also listing something new: Digital Cards for you to print for announcements, holidays, weddings, moving, or just whatever floats your boa

Merry Christmas!

Best Baked "Fried" Chicken Ever!

Image
Adam saw a recipe for Corn Flake Chicken on the box of Corn Flakes at my parents house, an he's been craving it ever since. The boxes at my grocery store didn't have the recipe printed on the side, so I googled it and found the recipe on Kellogg's website (http://www2.kelloggs.com/RecipeDetail.aspx?id=1058). Of course, we made changes... I made some delicious bake ranch chicken a few weeks ago, so we sort of mixed the two recipes into one. Here's the final (healthier!!) recipe! • Chicken (I had 2 chicken thighs, so roughly a pound of chicken...since I was I only cooking for two people. • 1 1/2 cup corn flakes • 1 egg (I recently heard that flax seed and water can be an egg sub..let me know if you know anything about that because that would make this even healthier!) • 1/2 cup milk • 1/2 cup white wheat flour • pinch of salt, pinch of pepper • 1 1/2 tbs Ranch dressing powder (the kind that comes in a packet. I bought a big bottle of it at Sam's and I'

Easy Peasy S'mores Cupcake!

Image
On a plate, layer the following.... 1.Graham cracker 2.Un iced chocolate cupcake with the wrapper off 3.Chocolate fudge (I had some Ghiradelli peppermint chocolate fudge in the fridge...perfect) 4.marshmallows! Minis would probably be easier to stack, but I just had regular sized ones, so I only needed one. Put in the microwave and microwave at 5 second intervals for 20 seconds. If you do all 20 seconds at once, you might be cleaning out your microwave later... Eat with a fork!!! Or, if you're going to embrace the stickiness, just eat it! :)

What I Wore...Monday?

Image
I found a new site I like....Polyvore. I thought you could just look at outfit ideas there. No. You can design them too! Here is one I was playing with based on what I wore today... The only thing that is EXACTLY what I wore are the boots from Target and the shirt from Old Navy. My scarf is a different design, but this one was pretty too!  And I paid $14 for my Silver brand jeans at TJMaxx last December...and my jacket is actually from Wal-Mart ($30..with a hood too!).  The nail polish I'm wearing is Ulta brand, and the ring I'm wearing is a Zales ring my parents got me for graduation. Anywho, what do you think? Have you played around designing clothes on Polyvore? http://www.polyvore.com/12_11/set?id=40403583 12/5/11 by wendyamarie featuring tahitian pearl rings Old Navy fitted tee $15 - oldnavy.gap.com American Eagle Outfitters flannel coat $90 - ae.com Silver Jeans straight jeans $70 - buckle.com Boots target.com Tahitian pearl ring $28 - fantasyjew
