Fall 2010 Bucket List

So this isn't really a Bucket List in the normal sense, but it is my Fall 2010 Bucket List. There is so much going on and so much I want to do. It occurred to me that some of you live in this area and you may not know about some of these events, so I thought I'd list them.

The State Fair of Texas- now through October 17th (I'm going on Sunday)

Autumn at the Arboretum at The Dallas Arboretum- now through November 14th

Make another Canton trip before Christmas- 10/28 thru 10/31, or 12/2 thru 12/5 (I'm going 10/28)

'Neath The Wreath: Junior League of Plano Gift Market- November 11th-14th

Chi Omega Christmas Market (at Dallas Convention Center)- November 3rd-6th

Go to a Tech football game (even though we suck)- I'm going to College Station for the game on 10/30!

Do you have any events that are must attend events for you in the Fall?

My sister is a Chi-O, and I'll be going to the Christmas Market too! I haven't made it to the Arboretum this year. I really want to see the pumpkins!

Swiss Oatmeal {Copy Cat Recipe}

I'm obsessed with Swiss Oatmeal. I particularly love Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal. If you are not familiar with Swiss Oatmeal, it is a cold oatmeal cereal with fruit and nuts.

I've had a similar recipe for years, but it was only similar. It wasn't close enough for my liking. So I finally set out into the land of Pinterest to find a recipe that was a good Copy Cat. I found a few, combined them and came up with what I think is a very close Copy Cat Recipe of Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal.

Here's what I do (note, this recipe is really just pictures, because I don't really have measurements for these things. The photos aren't great, but it's easier if I show you what I do)...

Here's the Phase 1ingredients... Milk Honey Yogurt (I use a vanilla greek yogurt) Oats (old fashioned, not quick...you probably could do steel cut too) I've simplified this to where you only need a bowl and a spoon for Phase 1 because I use my yogurt cup as a meas…

It's all about the dress...

I mean I guess it's really all about getting married, but come on, you always anticipate the dress right? Well holy moly folks! Today a big secret was released to the press. No, we still don't know which dress or tiara Kate will be wearing, but we heard for the first time that Princess Diana had a back-up dress! Here are some of the pictures and sketches...

And you know what? I like the back-up dress better than the one she wore! I know, I know. I'm going to get blasted for saying that, but I'll just confess it right now... My name is Kara and I've never thought Princess Diana's dress was all that and a bag of chips. Nope. Not my favorite Royal Wedding Dress by any stretch of the imagination. What is my favorite? Probably the one that Sarah Ferguson wore when she married Andrew...
It had beautiful beading and stitching throughout. Also on the train it had an "A&quo…

Pumpkins, Gourds & Flowers, oh my!

Yesterday, I went to the Dallas Arboretum. Lisa, Jennifer, and I went as my birthday outing. We got a late start due to some court delays, so we stopped for lunch first. I needed some make-up too, so we went to Neimans. We ogled some purses, had lunch, I got some make-up and then we headed out to the arboretum (in the rain).

It was raining pretty good on the way over, but luckily, we only needed umbrellas for a few minutes. Thankfully the sun never came out, because it was so humid, I'm pretty sure we would have melted.

First, we made our way toward the Pumpkin Village...

I love how they made garland out of the mini-pumpkins...

These rose bushes were just stunning! The roses on each bush varied in color from a coral, to a blush, to a purple hue...
It was Fall at the arboretum, and pumpkins, gourds, and mums are a large part of the visit. However, they also have a Chihuly art exhibition going on. I took so many pictures, I HAVE to make that it's whole separate post. …
