Game Day!

College Football is back!  Can I get a "woo-hoo!"?  We're not televised this week, but I'm enjoying watching the other games.  How about those Baylor Bears?  Dang!

I did several things to get prepared for this exciting weekend...

First, a trip to Central Market yesterday afternoon to buy lots of yumminess to make it through all the games on this holiday weekend.

Second, making a Red Raider Wreath for my door...

I got this inspiration from Pinterest...


I went to Canton on Thursday and bought some of the "ingredients" to make my own version.

I bought a roll of this metallic deco fabric, or as I like to call it "that damn fabric"...
I really do hate working with this stuff, but I think it looks nice.

As you can see I bought this odd kind of wreath there too.  It's made for using on this type of project.  I decided on a silver wreath to add a little pizazz, or as Lisa pointed out in the store, "When you are going gaudy, you might as well just go really gaudy!".
I had lots of help as you can see...
Then she just gave up any pretense of even helping and moved to the couch...

The "finished" product.  I really do intend to add some other stuff to it.  I just don't know what I want yet.  I made a trip to Hobby Lobby and found a couple of possibilities, but I need to keep looking a bit more before I'm willing to commit.  So for now, this is the finished product...

Ready for game day...


Go Red Raiders!  Wreck 'Em!

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 1 ingredients...   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 becau

Europe 2023 {Day 9 ~ Munich & Bavarian Alps}

 On Tuesday, December 20th I grabbed breakfast at the hotel and then walked about 15 minutes to where I met my tour for the day.  On my first visit to Munich, I only had time for one "day trip" outside of the city and I chose to go to Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial, but I always knew I wanted to venture down to the Bavarian Alps and see some castles on my next visit.  I had booked the premium tour and it was so fancy.  There was a snack bar and they even served beer and wine on the way home after the last stop of the day.  First stop was at Linderhof Castle. This was a "small" castle of King Ludwig's that was a partial mini-replica of Versailles.  It was a snowy walk to the castle... Interior photos were not allowed, but you can see some pics of the interior HERE Like Versailles, there are fountains and sculptures surrounding Linderhof, but they cover the statues with wood huts to protect them from the winter elements. After visiting Linderhof, we made a (to

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... Real dress on Left~ Back-up on the Right Here are the sketches of the back-up dress 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 &quo
