sister art!

My sister has always been a fantastic artist for her age and i just recently discovered her skills. She can look at something and make an exact replica! I don't get it! "Look, Tiffy!" and she'd hand me some great masterpiece. The most recent is a drawing of her hand. I water colored it when she was finished, and voila!

Isn't is awesome? I love having a sister.

questions?

Alrighty guys, i was a little reluctant to do this, but i got a formspring account for this blog! It's actually kind of exciting. So if you have any questions or solutions or anything you want to discuss, just go here and I will answer! I'd love to hear from anyone reading and if you've got some crafty ideas for something you'd like me to talk about, that would be awesome too! Anywhoo, thanks for reading and possibly asking!

good to be back.

well, everyone! I'm back from my two month cruise to the Bahamas..i WISH. i wish i had some crazy story as to why i haven't been posting, but frankly, i just have been lazy.
Good news is i'm back on..

Here are some things that happened on my little "vacation."

proceed with caution: it's been a long time, and you may get dizzy from the extensive barrage of photos.

Peacock Lane..

 my mom, sister, and i went to solid rock's gloria christmas eve service. It was at the arlene schnitzer concert hall (all i could find was the wikipedia page, haha sorry!) and it was GORGEOUS. Not to mention the service was one of the most beautiful i have ever gone to.

me and drew's second christmas as a couple! I seriously raked it IN. And he liked his gifts too, so that's great. I love couple holidays!

 my sister alyssa turned 17. gettin' old.

drew had FIVE WEEKS off for winter break so we definitely took advantage by going on multiple dates to coffee and mexican food and we saw the new sherlock holmes (highly recommend it!) movie.

isn't he the absolute cutest?

i got my streak re-bleached (you can see it better in the last photo). Alyssa says it makes me look like a reese's. Haha.

Overall, it was a wonderful holiday and beginning of a new year. BRING ON THE 2k12! It's going to be a great one. I've got some more news, but I'll save it for another post. :)
That's all for now!

Marc Johns

Drew and I have recently been super obsessed with this artist, Marc Johns, a fairly hilarious guy. His art is sarcastic and real and makes me laugh to myself..

Here are some of the good ones!

12 Reasons for Christmas

1. “For this I was born and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth” (John 18:37).

2. “The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8; cf. Hebrews 2:14–15).

3. “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick; I came not to call the righteous, but sinners” (Mark 2:17).

4. “The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost” (Luke 19:10).

5. “The Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45).

6.“God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons” (Galatians 4:5).

7. “For God so loved the world that whoever believes on him shall not perish but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through him might be saved” (John 3:16).

8. “God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him” (1 John 4:9).

9. “I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly” (John 10:10).

10. “Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is spoken against . . . that the thoughts of many may be revealed” (Luke 2:34ff).

11. “He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed” (Luke 4:18).

12. “Christ became a servant to the circumcised to show God’s truthfulness, in order to confirm the promises given to the patriarches, and in order that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy” (Romans 15:7–8; cf. John 12:27ff).

french toast muffins say what?!

Pretty much everything in muffin form is adorable, but I've got to say, THIS is my next recipe to try. You only need a couple of ingredients and voila! You've created..

French Toast Muffins

Whatcha need: 2 cups all purpose flour 1/4 cup sugar  1/2 tsp. baking soda 2 tsp. baking powder 2 tsp. powdered cinnamon 1/2 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg Pinch of salt 2 eggs 1 cup buttermilk 1/4 cup butter, melted Maple syrup Confectioners' sugar for dusting How ya do: Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Line cupcake pan with papers, set aside. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and pinch of salt in  a large bowl and set aside.   In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg and melted butter. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk mixture.   Stir until just incorporated.  Do not over-mix or batter will deflate! Fill cupcake liners 1/2 full.  Bake for 10-15 minutes, (check at 10 minutes).  Muffins are done when a toothpick comes out clean. Poke holes in the muffin tops and gently spoon over one or two tablespoons of maple syrup onto each cake.   Dust with confectioners' sugar. Thank you, Sprinkle Bakes!
