Lemon Chex Buddies vs. Puppy Chow


Lemon Chex Buddies is on the left and Puppy Chow is on the right.  One of the twins requested Puppy Chow, which made me think of the Lemon Chex Buddies I saw on Pinterest.  Can you believe it, I actually made something I pinned.  I think my percentage must be .073% on that end and it is the recipes that give me any percentage at all.

I liked the Lemon Chex Buddies but I must admit Puppy Chow wins hands down in this house.  The Lemon Chex Buddies are light and have good flavor.  They actually reminded me of a Girl Scout cookie they used to make.  If you want to give it a try, you can find the recipe here.

Puppy Chow 

1 box (12 oz.) Crispix
1C peanut butter
1 pkg. (12 oz.) chocolate chips
1 stick butter
2-3C powdered sugar

Melt the peanut butter, chocolate chips and butter in the microwave for 2-3 minutes.  Gently stir in cereal until well coated.  Place powdered sugar in a large plastic bag.  Pour cereal mixture in and shake to coat.  Allow to cool.  Keep in an air-tight container.

Christmas in July

  Fall of 2015 I saw a picture of "quilted" Christmas trees on Craftsy.  I saved the project and the fabric requirements.  The instructions list a youtube video that is no longer available.  With the information I had, I figured out how to make these trees. Sometime around the time that I saw the idea on Craftsy, I bought the styrofoam trees with the intention of making it.  I bought fabric for it last year but still didn't get them made for Christmas.  I've had it on my "to do" list all month.  My reasoning is that I have more time now than I will in November. Surprisingly, It took me about 5-6 hours to make these two trees.  I didn't think it would take so long.  The taller tree has a 4" base and is 12" tall.  The smaller tree has a 3-1/2" base and is 9" tall. The trees are made with 2-1/2" squares of fabric that are folded in half diagonally, pressed and then folded in half again and pressed, making a smaller triangl

Christmas Tree

This seems to be the year for me to re-create crafts that I did with my mom or that she made.  In the early 80's, a friend of my mother's had us over and we sat at her kitchen table each making a tree like this.  I always liked that tree and decided this would be the year I would make it again. All you need to make it is 30 feet of plush garland.  6 wire hangers.  Zip ties or twist ties.  A strand of lights.  I think we used a strand of 100 mini lights so many years ago.  I've been debating this in my mind though.  50 seemed like it would be enough and 100 perhaps too much.  I was at the hardware store today and saw a box of 70 lights and figured it was middle of the road . . . perfect.  The bulbs were a little bigger than the typical strand of lights, this could work too.  Having made the tree I have mixed thoughts on the lights.  I would opt for the 100 bulb strand to have more lights, but then, I like lights.  I like the bulbs of what I used today because they stand ou

White Christmas Ornament

Image
This ornament is one of the things I made to give the Young Women at church an idea.  I had a lot of these ornament halves and offered that they could make ornaments along with the cards and the baby hats they were knitting.  The cards and ornaments are going to go to an assisted living facility when they go caroling next month.  The baby hats are going to be an ongoing project to donated to a hospital later. I used Crystal Effects to attach the ornament to the background. Stamps:  Holiday Home, White Christmas CS:  Soft Sky, WW Ink:  Tuxedo Black Misc.:  Markers, 2-way glue pen, dazzling diamonds, crystal effects, dimensionals, snowflakes (from craft store)
