White Chocolate Popcorn

0 comments Posted by Curley Family at 3:47 PM

Here is what you do. Pop some popcorn, you can either use microwave (any kind) or the airpopper. Melt some white chocolate. Once that is done, pour the chocolate over the popcorn and mix until it is covered. How much you use, depends on how covered you want it. If you want to you can add some m&m's, nuts, etc. Then put it on some wax paper or parchment paper. Let cool. You could also drizzle some chocolate over top for fun. Now once all the chocolate is solid and cooled, break apart and inhale ;)

An awesome help

0 comments Posted by Curley Family at 1:40 PM

I just found a great place to buy stuff for scrapbooking. You can either look at their stuff for ideas or buy their packets to make scrapbook pages. It is awesome, and today is the last day of a GREAT sale. All scrapbook packets are 4.99-no limit. Now if you go on most saturdays you can get up to 4 packets on sale. Once I get some of the pages done I will post them. The other awesome thing is they have a picture and instructions with each packet, and you can use them to change up paper and redo layouts.
The place is For Every Scrapbook. It is located in Lindon on Geneva Road, for any who are in Utah.

A countdown calendar to Christmas

0 comments Posted by Curley Family at 12:00 PM

Here are some countdown calendars for Christmas that I helped make. (Only one is totally done and pictured, I will add the other as they get finished)

I made 4 all by myself, and helped make the other two.

To make one, the first thing you need is a piece of metal, a cookie sheet will work. I have mine 11x14 once the sides are bent so you don't cut yourself. (I have an in with Dad working with sheetmetal)

Then you decide on the paper. I chose 3 that went together. One striped for the middle, then one for the top and one for the 25. You don't have to do this, you could just chose two that go well together and just use solid for the 25. I use the glue dots to put the paper on. Then I get some ribbon that goes with the paper, and using the mini glue dots put that on. (You can use whatever paper you like)

I cut out all the lettering, squares and extras with the cricut. You don't have to do this. You can find ready stuff at stores and just use them. I then glue on the words and squares, then I figure out what I want to use for the count down part. It can be pictures off the internet, stickers from a store, etc that you find and like, or if you have a cricut like I do, cut out stuff and used that. Also, there is wood cutouts bought from a store (roberts) that can be purchased and used. I put little magnets on the back of the countdowns and now it is done. I bought my magnets on ebay. I was able to find 100 magnets between 5 to 6 dollars plus shipping, which got here in about a week. I put the magnets on with mini glue dots. You can also use hot glue, or try a glue stick. There is also double sided tape. Whatever you fancy for scrapbooking/cardmaking should work.

(If you don't understand or need clarification just let me know, or if you want to get with me to make one also let me know and I will see if we can schedule a time to do it.)

A new project soon

0 comments Posted by Curley Family at 10:41 AM

I will be adding a couple of projects on here soon. I just need to get a few things then I can post. Sorry I don't do more. We are still adjusting to Aleana and I have not quite figured out how to accomplish ALL the things I want/need to plus take care of her needs. And with the other two always getting into things trying to "HELP".
