Mexican Tortilla Casserole
Quick and easy dinner on a hot, rainy, summer night. Plus I got to try out my skills on photographing ugly food...ha ha
The recipe comes from The Cooking Connection at H.E.B (please excuse the food splatter)
It's not a bad recipe at all especially if you don't handle spicy well. However, I like spice in my life so here's what I would do differently...
- Only use half the jar of soup and use hot enchilada sauce for the rest
- Use rotisserie chicken meat
- Add avocado on top once cooled

Letter Art
What do you get a 1 year old???? I kept asking myself this over and over again. Do I get clothes?!?! Nah everyone gives clothes. Do I give toys?!?! Nah everyone will give toys too. Can I give a gift that is more for the mom?!?! Sure!!!
I had seen letter art around and thought it was really cool and wanted to try it out. So I decided for Erica's son Evan's first birthday, I would make his name like that. Of course it would be more for Erica to look at now, but later on maybe Evan will like it too. Don't worry I got Evan some kid stuff as well.
Can you tell what everything is??? Everything is from around my house and in order it's...a lounge chair, mailbox, candle holder and basketball goal.
Isn't it amazing how you can look at stuff for years and never notice that it resembles a letter!! Crazy!!
Has anyone else tried this?
p.s. All pictures were filtered to the Sepia setting to go along with the brown wood and I added the green ribbon to the frame so that it would match his room.

Balloon Wreath
Can't decide if this should be for birthdays or summer or just when I feel like looking at a multitude of colors...ha ha
My ultimate vote is for it to be a birthday wreath (hence why I'm posting it now).
It's super easy to make...all you need are balloons, floral pins and a straw wreath. All of this can be found at Hobby Lobby and don't forget to use a coupon!
I saw how to make one here, but I ended up using 4 bags of 72 count balloons instead of 2...guess I like to make things fuller...ha ha. I also used a 14" wreath form.
All you do is take a balloon and pin it arround its middle to the wreath using the floral pins.

7 Gypsies trays
Saw these awesome trays and ideas on the Archiver's website a while back and knew I had to make one...ok maybe two.
This one I made for B. He loves baseball and has a couple of walls in his house dedicated to baseball pictures so I thought this would be really cute to have along side of all of them. I got the idea from this tray that was featured on the Archiver's website and used it as a reference. I already had all the stickers/supplies for this since I love baseball as well and scrapping about it...ha ha.
This one I made for my parents. It started out as a white tray, but that just doesn't fit our house. My Mom had just bought some sage green paint for a lamp and I decided I wanted that color for the tray (I also already had this color in mind from the picture I printed). I didn't want it to look perfect so I would spray a paper towel and then run the towel over the tray. I think it turned out pretty well. I picked up all the supplies for this one at Archiver's. You would be surprised how hard it is to fine wine paper! I got the idea for this tray from this picture on the website.
