My first lasagna EVER!!! You can't really tell by the picture, but it really was a masterpiece.
I made these sugar cookies for my piano students for Halloween. Basic sugar cookie recipe, but I really liked making a good glaze--tip of the day: use meringue powder with powdered sugar and milk to make the icing harden and smooth out like this.
This was my biggest project...finding a way to organize my music books. I had them all lined up in a box in the corner and decided it was time for some shelves. We found this at Target and Dave put it together for me to then decorate...
My first real experience with decoupage! The finish on the wood resisted the glue and that created a lot more air bubbles than I wanted...I should sand it next time but I'm happy with it nonetheless. I cut the note out freehand from some stiff craft felt. You can't see the sides from this picture but they are decoupaged with different colors and then overlaid with strips of sheet music I cut up for the occasion. the top is a solid collage of sheet music. And of course, it's purple. what could be better??
Finally, I made this Christmas wreath today for our front door. I usually complain about Christmas decorations and Christmas music coming out before Thanksgiving, but when I was at A.C. Moore and saw some of the foliage and picks they had on display, I got inspired.

Wow! It is all quite impressive - I love the halloween cookies and that was such a cute idea to make them with numbers for my parents 38th - clever.
the 38 was definitely Dave's idea...he's really thoughtful about stuff like that.
You are certainly keeping up with the Clay girls Kristine! I loved all your accomplishments! Your wreath really was beautiful and made your door look very festive for Christmas.
