All You Need Is L-O-V-E

YAY! My "faith, hope, and love" compilation of artsy stuff is complete! This, like the others, was really easy to do! I went to Hobby Lobby (my favorite) and got a wooden hanging decoration that said "Love," some small silver-lined beads, and some glue.

I spread the tacky glue across each letter with a cosmetic wedge and stuck the beads on. It got to be a little tedious, because at one point you have to add them individually around the edges to get full coverage. It took about 1-2 hours to finish, but it was worth it!

easy crafty fun!

This week at bible study we decided to have a "pinterest party!" It's mid-terms so we decided to have an easy week and just do crafts we've been wanting to do instead of our usual study. It was so much fun! I made a "hope" thing-a-ma-bob to hang on my wall:

It was so fun and easy and CHEAP! I just bought 4 pages of card stock, 4 canvases, some glue, and some sequins. I love it! It came out great and it is the perfect addition to the "faith" breast cancer fleur de lis I did over the summer.. now all I need is "love" and it will be complete!!!

Cookies and Cream Cookies

I volunteered to make some goodies for my Bible study this week and I was so excited because I always see so many recipes on pinterest that I want to try but cannot eat by myself.

The one I chose to make I found on pinterest via the Six Sisters' Blog: Six Sisters' Stuff: Cookies and Cream Cookies

I love everything cookies and cream so I thought this would be perfect, and when I told one of the girls from Bible study about she said "Omgosh you have to make that!" This recipe is really simple and really yummy! Okay, it's more than "really yummy" THEY ARE FLIPPING AMAZING! lol these are officially my new favorite cookies.

So, here's how ya do it:

2 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 (4.2 ounce) package Cookies 'n Creme pudding mix
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups white chocolate chips
15 Oreo cookies, very coarsly chopped

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugars, add pudding mix until blended. Stir in the eggs and vanilla.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking soda with a whisk then add it to the butter mixture.

3. Stir in the chocolate chips and Oreo cookies (coarsely chopped- or crushed in a bag is fine too). Drop cookies by rounded spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet. Tip: Reynold's non-stick foil works great too!

4.Bake for 10 minutes in preheated oven until cookies tops barely have a touch of brown. Makes 3 dozen cookies.

They are soooooo good and the pudding makes them sinfully moist. They are amazing, and if you don't believe me make them for yourself and see!!!

Nutella Cookies

I love to bake. I'm on a diet so it's not very often that I actually do. I was really bored though and this recipe looked really good so I decided to try it.
A Busy Nest posted this recipe that someone pinned on pinterest for 4 ingredient Nutella cookies:
1 cup Nutella
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Blend all ingedients together well. Form into 1-inch balls. Place on cookie sheet. Press down firmly with bottom of floured glass. Bake 7-8 minutes or until set. Cool.

After I finished mixing

Rolled into balls

Going into the oven

Here they are after they finished baking

They did not turn out at all like they were supposed to (LOL). I added a little more nutella and even some peanut butter to try to make them more moist but they still were dry and clumpy. They tasted pretty good but they weren't great. I think if I make it again I'm going to have to tweek it and maybe make the recipe a little smaller... If you try them and have better success let me know! They're tasty but the recipe can be a hit or miss...

NEW LOVE- Pinterest

Thanks to my dear friend Alex, I am now totally obsessed with Pinterest (as if i need anymore internet obsessions).  It's so cute!!!  People post stuff they like and you post stuff you like and you can get all kinds of cute ideas about just about anything.  It's almost like another form of blogging. I love it.  Seriously, everyone should check it out. It's awesome...
