100 Day Creativity Challenge (Days 43-49)


Next up, we have Day 43, the first day of the week. I made an ADVENT BEER CALENDAR. Where we will drink a beer everyday in December. And I bought all new kinds of beers. I have only had three of them before, SO EXCITED!! This is #DAY43




On Day 44 I made a casual lunch because my husband was working from home. Chicken Caprese! So easy and it looks super fancy. #DAY44



For Day 45 we set up our tree. We live in a small apartment right now, so our tree is super small, but it always reminds me of home and how much I love Christmas. Plus we hung our stockings from this table, and it turned out super cute. Here is #DAY45



Day 46 I wanted to make a fancy dessert. I have been watching too many baking shows. Anyway, my suggestion is to never be fancy with desserts again. Just make brownies or cookies.... that's all anyone wants in life. Anyway, I made whoopie pies!!! They are great and delicious, but very rich. They have chocolate whoopie pies (not my fav, but very good) and peanut butter buttercream icing (Now that was delicious). This is #DAY46







For Day 47 I played around on my Ipad some more. This was way better than the other two procreate designs. Plus, I was super homesick.... Can't wait to go back to Missouri for Christmas. #DAY47




Okay, before you judge me.... no one will judge me, I just judged myself. Anyway, I wrote the same quote that I wrote yesterday. BUT I wrote it with chalk, so that's different, right. I just thought I wrote it really well.... I love chalk and I want to get better at it! #goals #DAY48



Then Day 49 I was feeling inspiring. So, I wrote out this quote. I love this quote! It inspires me to keep trying. If I never try, nothing will ever improve. Plus, I can see so many flaws in everything I make, but other people don't look as closely. I guess we can be thankful that everyone is self obsessed. HAHA just kidding, but not really. Here's #DAY49

How to Spatchcock a Turkey

Are you ready to find out the secret to an amazing Thanksgiving turkey? Is it brining? Basting? Butter under the skin? WHAT IS IT?!?! It's called spatchcocking and it is a Godsend. Note: you can also do this to chicken or any poultry (it will probably be different cooking times and whatnot) What is spatchcocking? Spatchcocking means you remove the backbone and lay your bird flat (don't worry I will do a step by step tutorial below). You do this so your legs and breasts cook at relatively the same time. With this method you want the breasts to end at about 150 degrees and the legs to end at about 165 degrees. Which is why we removed our legs in case they needed to cook longer. How to Prepare a spatchcocked turkey?  First, we bought a turkey. You buy one pound per guest. We had to get a frozen one because we bought it a week and a half early... But if you are cooking for Thanksgiving I highly recommend getting a fresh bird. There is no need to get one that is pre ...

100 Day Creativity Challenge (Days 15-21)

I realize I am a little delayed on these days, but I don't think I have that DAILY of a following. So I think I'm okay. Anyway, on to Day 15. For Day 15 I decided to break out the calligraphy set my husband gave me two birthdays ago. BEST GIFT EVER! It takes a lot of practice, and you have to go super slow.... not my forte. But once you get going it is amazingly easy. It makes you feel like using a quill back in the day with John Hancock. Or is it Herbie Hancock? The world will never know. #tommyboy Anyway, I was just messing around and writing letters, hope you enjoy my #DAY 15 Next, Day 16 I thought I'd give crocheting another go. I ended up using my entire thing of yarn, and it was only big enough to be a scarf (kind of going for a blanket, but the scarf is cute). I still haven't mastered it, and I need to do more research.... And of course PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE #swanprincess. #DAY16 Day 17, this was a busy day. I went to Denver for ...

100 Day Creativity Challenge (Days 29-35)

I know, I know... I am super behind... But I am determined to catch up! Day 29, I have been wanting to get better with my ipad and Apple pencil.... since I have one and don't want to waste my money. Anyway, this isn't my best work, and I haven't found the best pens to use... I'll get there. Plus this replay time lapse is the coolest thing ever. Here's #DAY29 On to day 30, I have finally made this a habit! Today I used my chalk markers on slate. I chose a Zombieland quote, because it makes me happy. Here it is #DAY30 Day 31. So, I want to apologize for today... My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary (early) and I took some pretty pictures and mixed my own cocktail.. I'd call that creative. I know these snippets are really short.... Anyway, Day 32 I decided to commemorate our anniversary trip at Devil's Thumb Ranch (MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE EVER!!!) So, this is my creative project for #DAY32 Moving on to Day 33, I...
