My own Bella from Washington

Hehe I indeed have my own Bella who lives in Washington State... hehehe My precious god daughter... Ysabella Teliza Jiao Bautista. Long name huh but cute... hehehe 

And how cute is she lovin' and sippin like there's no tomorrow right... Strawberry Frapp courtesy of the Mermaid Coffee shop.. hhahahaha. anywhoots it was her birthday last month and sad to say I never sent my card out because I keep making myself think I will be sending a box of things to them... which i truly do have in my bedroom sitting waiting for me to ship hehehe. Here's her birthday card....

 Then when I had some time early last week. I made another card for her for Halloween... HK image I forgot where I encountered but I know it was one of the island divas hehehe my Island sistahs. Either Michelle, Joy, or Enjoli... sorry I forget... Thank you though as always and will forever be inspired by all the beautiful artsie you all create.

Stay pretty...

HeLLLLLooOoo KiTTTTTy

So here's my attempt to make the HK pops... practice should make it perfect... I made these days later after I made the Halloween ones... I still have to make some with a fellow momma from school, she loves to bake so I sure would love to learn more from her... I see that she went to Le Cordon Bleu so I'm sure she knows better than I do hehehe.... 

I didn't get to find any large heart sprinkles so made my own bows with chocolate hehehehe then a confetti sprinkle in the middle. You can see the epic fail of dipping towards the back end I only actually made 4 of them when I took the picture since I wasn't sure how well it was goin' to turn out. I nearly used my sizzix HK die just so everything will come out perfect but this was a practice and the order was cancelled so this was my chance to play with ingredients.... My kiddies loved em and gave a couple out to the daughters BFF... I also made 4 Halloween Pops for my dear friend Patty and her kiddos... pictures tomorrow.... 

So tired of cleaning... even if I'm not really doin' the same cleaning as I would if I was about to get inspected by the OCD hubby hahahaha... j/k babe... hahahah But THIS weekend is my Mommy DAY OFF... Finally... Hubby is out for the weekend drill and the kiddies usually goes to my aunties house for their weekly visits... hehehehe So the Momma/Maid is off, well kind of since I still have to clean up hehehehe. But here's what I did part of the day... after the mountain loads of laundry.... 

I made more pop but haven't dipped and coated so more to come this week.... hehehe. Ok back to ironing now see ya tomorrow....

Caramel Apples....

So this month was all about Apples... so my darling daughter wanted me to volunteer in her class to help out and make caramel apples... here's what they made, well at least half of them...

This one was the one I made for MOI.... hahahaha I love Caramel Apples... 

I covered it with organic almonds and drizzled white chocolate excess from the pop making session... 

Of course had to share with the big boy... 

It was fun... 1st graders are even funnier than kindergartners..... "Ms. Jackie I like your shirt *smiling* (wearing an angry bird shirt Chillin like a Villain)" "Ms. Jackie.." me "yes?" "I like your sprinkles for the apples" hahahaha 

and that concludes my friday ... hehehehe... I wish I could say I have been super busy crafting forever but sad to say I feel like my life has been short of time everyday.. hehehe though really it's not. I wish to work with tons of my new paper and thingamajigs in my closet since all these holidays comin' up... I shall return with a pretty card I made last month hahahaha for my own Bella from Washington... my baby god daughter Bella....

Halloween give away...

Ok so been on the cake pop craze even if I don't currently own the book. I've fallen in love with the whole idea and I can't get myself to stop making them just because I can't perfect the darn coating... I was suppose to have an order for a Hello Kitty Cake Pop Cake but they backed out... oh well right. So I ended up experimenting and practicing my skills with the dipping and success with this one but not too great when it was time for the HK to be dunked.... hahahaha Anywhoots... here are some ideas I wanted to do for the Halloween treat giving for the kiddies school....

I was very please with how the pops turned out. I made it a bit smaller than the zebras since kiddies are the ones eating 'em. I made these to sample with my daughters BFF and her siblings... hehehe of course it was a hit thank gudness...  I made Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Frosting... I wanted to make pumpkins but then I said lemme just just make it a little easier since I am making at least 50 pieces hehehehe. Keepin' it simple yet gorgeous... heheheheh to me at least. 

Okie Dokies....
