It's that time of year again.......you know.....when it's close to 100 degrees on the Gulf Coast and we start dreaming of cooler weather and our favorite holiday - HALLOWEEN!!!!<br />
<br />
Dollar Tree is starting to replace the back to school supplies with Halloween/Fall decorations - YAY! I picked up these cute little foam ghosts and googly eyes today (and maybe I had to snag them off the cart as they were stocking the shelves 'cause I was so excited to see Halloween stuff!).<br />
<br />
Perfect for a little Ghost Busters Banner - don't ya think?<br />

<span style="text-align: left;">The foam ghosts were a little flimsy so I glued them to card stock and cut around them leaving a small boarder. The letters were cut with the Cricut but stickers would work too. A little orange ribbon and eyelash yarn ties them all together.</span></div>

Bet you thought we had forgotten about our little blog, but the truth is that life has been a whirlwind for us since Halloween. Leigh has moved across the country to start grad school and with the Holidays and a huge work load, we just haven't had any time for blogging. But we hope to get back in the swing of things again and start sharing some crafty projects with you.<br />
<br />
The only crafty thing I've been up to is journaling in my new Bible. Have you heard about Bible Journaling? If you are a scrapbooker or crafter you will love it! I found out about it on Instagram and soon decided it was something I just had to try. There is an awesome website called <a href="http://www.illustratedfaith.com/" target="_blank">Illustrated Faith</a> that has lots of tips and examples on it.<br />
<br />
My Mom gave me the <a href="http://www.christianbook.com/esv-journaling-trutone-chestnut-leaves-design/9781433544408/pd/544408?dv=c&en=google-pla&event=SHOP&kw=bibles-20-40&p=1179710&gclid=CMDbosTt0soCFQ8yaQodPBQBMA" target="_blank">Crossway ESV Journaling Bible</a> for Christmas. It is a single column Bible with a 2" lined journaling column.<br />
<br />
Here is my first entry -<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMthAnpdarrw9Y1IMfa6rDkHbuo5nmPU5bX5hz4ayM-uFNaANdz5bMVxKurNVsttpq4-N3y2Kmn8JSMBxsPSknajxlnYgpL8qwUckm-X6eiKAb0yBTRFvHXCgLso_qo16FL9TBb80CXWM/s1600/IMG_3520.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img alt="Illustrated Faith, bible journaling community, I color in my Bible" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMthAnpdarrw9Y1IMfa6rDkHbuo5nmPU5bX5hz4ayM-uFNaANdz5bMVxKurNVsttpq4-N3y2Kmn8JSMBxsPSknajxlnYgpL8qwUckm-X6eiKAb0yBTRFvHXCgLso_qo16FL9TBb80CXWM/s640/IMG_3520.JPG" title="I color in my Bible!" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Owls are one of my things, so I looked for a verse about being wise and decided on </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Proverbs 10:1 A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish son is a sorrow to his mother.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My second entry was also about wisdom - </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCqKxPdZ6u2jo8RaKS7r_NyZnIXQ6Ei5ts4tINqAAiCu4EWGLkimk-JzlCpQtVBdBXU41GkrvnlXPy0yRhPeOYkBR4AQW_6eSxWoyBag34NLQgI7NldFTTqgL8iyM-4YcVWJVWeR58x4o/s1600/IMG_3730.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img alt="Illustrated Faith, bible journaling community, I color in my Bible" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCqKxPdZ6u2jo8RaKS7r_NyZnIXQ6Ei5ts4tINqAAiCu4EWGLkimk-JzlCpQtVBdBXU41GkrvnlXPy0yRhPeOYkBR4AQW_6eSxWoyBag34NLQgI7NldFTTqgL8iyM-4YcVWJVWeR58x4o/s640/IMG_3730.JPG" title="I color in my Bible!" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is Proverbs 2:1-5 and is talking about the Value of Wisdom. Verse 4 is "If you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures. I sketched this out in pencil, went over it in pen, then colored it in with water colors.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My third entry is about something I struggle with on a daily basis - Patience. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaBPR7IwW_K6s0bDOdUdBc21kJjML7x4g1yztdnSaSxwrNDAAra9mmNFrCVmqU8PTkm6d3If3wTzwiW9U5lANWUS9My1OTKaNcG8AtPCfM2tgyOtH_kWZ_jj16Cdt7Vxf7gQPM88YgAMo/s1600/IMG_3867.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img alt="Illustrated Faith, bible journaling community, I color in my Bible" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaBPR7IwW_K6s0bDOdUdBc21kJjML7x4g1yztdnSaSxwrNDAAra9mmNFrCVmqU8PTkm6d3If3wTzwiW9U5lANWUS9My1OTKaNcG8AtPCfM2tgyOtH_kWZ_jj16Cdt7Vxf7gQPM88YgAMo/s640/IMG_3867.JPG" title="I color in my Bible! " width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is from Ephesians 4:1 and is about Being Patient and Bearing with One Another in Love. What a great reminder for me, to slow down and breathe whenever I become impatient.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I've found it so relaxing to take the time to sketch and create something in my Bible. I can work on it in the evenings when I have a few minutes and It doesn't require a whole lot of expensive supplies. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Anyone else out there coloring in their Bibles? Leave me link to your website, Instagram or Facebook page. I would love to see your work!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here's to a wonderful week ahead!</div>

I can't tell you how excited I was and how much I love them. They were so easy to install and make our kitchen look amazing!<br />
<br />
Just a note that this is not a sponsored post, but hey Lowe's, we would love to be sponsored! LOL!<br />

Here's a photo with the lights on - What do you think?<br />

The lights that we installed are LED Light Bars from Lowes and they come in three sizes. While they aren't cheap, they should last forever or 36,000 hours - whichever comes first! They also have a built in dimmer so you can easily bring the light up or down.</div>

We were able to easily install them by drilling a hole in the corner of the cabinet and another into the microwave cabinet. The cords disconnect from the units so you can feed the small end through the holes back down to the lights. Command adhesive hooks help keep the cord secured so that they don't show below the cabinet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The units also link together which is perfect for the right side of our stove as there are two separate cabinets there. We used more Command hooks to keep the cords out of sight.</div>

It's no secret in our family, that I'm kind of a light-a-holic and not only that but I'm extremely lazy when it comes to turning all the lights on and off. I know there are fancy systems out there that turn your lights off and on, but they are very pricey and I'm the Queen of Cheap! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

These are available in the Christmas Shop at Wal-Mart now and they are amazing! You get 3 plugs and one remote control in the package. We used two plugs for this project and the third is going to be used for my Christmas Village on the bar in the kitchen. You can't beat the price on these and they last for years! I have one in the living room that operates all the lamps and another in the craft room upstairs.</div>

One of the wireless outlets was plugged into the electrical outlet that the microwave plugs into and the other was plugged in behind the fridge. We also used a three outlet plug into the wireless outlet for the microwave cabinet. That allowed us to plug the right and left units into the same wireless outlet. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here's a photo of the 3 outlet plug - you can get these at Lowe's too for about $4 - </div>

All it took was a length of black tulle, spider diecuts and a couple of strands of mini skeletons from Dollar Tree to make it look creepy and elegant.<br />

All in all, it came out even better than I expected. This year, there wasn't a plan - just kind of threw it all together in about an hour using items we made and a few decorations we picked up at Dollar Tree and Target.</div>

Are you ready for the big day? We hope to take the kiddos trick-or-treating on Saturday, but right now there's a 100% chance of rain!!! Oh well, guess we will all be using the umbrellas on Halloween!</div>

We've gone to Painting with a Twist several times, but yesterday we went to a local shop here in Crosby for a party and had an amazing time! This was an early birthday present from my Mom and she couldn't have given me anything better - love you Mom!<br />
<br />
Anne with The Antique Trunk, was an amazing teacher and since there was only 5 of us there it was so much more relaxed and fun. Anne even let us choose a painting that I found online. Thank you Anne for such a fun day!<br />

Our paintings are pretty close to the original, except for the man in the moon. We didn't think we could get that level of detail so we just placed the witch over the moon. </div>

I stamped her on colored paper, but in hindsight, I think it might have been better to stamp her on white paper and fill in the white with colored pencils? Hmm.... next time I'm going to try that. </div>

It's hard to see in the photo but she has a bit of orange tulle over her skirt and ribbon trim that was hot glued on. Next time, I think she should be purple with a black tutu skirt? The combinations are endless and I know that there are going to be many more versions of her by next Halloween.</div>

It is so quick to do and so much fun! Halloween is the perfect time to get some great shots of everyone in their costumes.Our booth has been such a hit at our past 3 Halloween parties and I thought I would share our some of our DIY frames and ideas in one post.<br />

The first year we kept it fairly simple with just crepe paper and a photo frame with a simple Boo banner and spiderwebs.<br />

We are lucky enough to have the perfect spot upstairs for the photo booth. Two of our bedrooms open into a small alcove that is the perfect size for a shower curtain rod. A white sheet is the perfect backdrop when it is suspended from the rod. Black and orange crepe paper is the perfect inexpensive way to add some color to the background.<br />

Small chalkboards are easy to make with black foam core board, chalkboard spray paint and wooden dowels. These are always fun additions and ours have been used over and over again.</div>

It was decorated with felt spider webs from Dollar Tree and we decorated the backdrop with spooky fabric and bats.

We used lots of burlap, lace and country accents, both in the house and in the back yard. I saw a really cute photo on Pinterest of brown bottles hanging in trees and copied it for our yard. We all loved them so much that they stayed up until almost Halloween last year and a friend of mine borrowed them for a shower she gave this year.<br />

These photos are from last year -<br />

This year, we turned the plain brown bottles into Jack-O-Lanterns with a bit of vinyl, orange spray paint and twine. They look adorable hanging in our crepe myrtle trees and best of all the flowers last for at least a week in them.</div>

They are super quick and easy to make. Thoroughly clean and dry the bottles before you start. These were soaked in warm water to remove as much of the label as possible, then we used Goof Off to remove the remaining glue. We freehand cut out the vinyl pieces, stuck them on the bottle and covered it all with 2 coats of spray paint. Make sure to remove the vinyl before the paint has fully cured. This will give you a crisp clean image.</div>

These bottles just make me smile every time I look out the back window and once the weather cools off and we can use the fire pit, then we will really be able to enjoy them! Once the redneck swimming pool comes down we put up the fire pit. Once spring roles around, we put it away and out comes the swimming pool so we have the best of both worlds.</div>

The wreath did not have any decorations on it but was just perfect for the vintage country themed shower. Since then, it has been decorated for several holidays - <a href="http://www.craftyincrosby.com/2014/09/upcycled-artwork-from-blah-to-beautiful.html" target="_blank">Original Coffee Filter Wreath</a>, <a href="http://www.craftyincrosby.com/2015/01/interchangeable-coffee-filter-wreath.html" target="_blank">Valentine's Day</a> and <a href="http://www.craftyincrosby.com/2015/02/st-patricks-day-coffee-filter-wreath.html" target="_blank">St. Patrick's Day</a>.<br />

This year, we went a little batty with it for Halloween!<br />

The bats were glued on to small clothes pins and pinned onto the wreath. The thread that the spiders were suspended on was tied onto toothpicks and inserted directly into the foam wreath. The toothpicks are below the coffee filters so the thread looks like spider webs.</div>

They must have been for a vintage light fixture as they were in some very old individual cardboard boxes. I'm thinking they might have been in a school or hospital maybe? What do you think? If anyone out there knows what they were used for we sure would like to know.<br />

Recently I've discovered some amazing vintage stores on Instagram, much to the hubby's chagrin, not to mention his pocket book!!! Poor guy, he puts up with a lot!<br />
<br />
Tonight as I was scrolling through my Instagram feed I followed a hashtag to #upstatefabric and saw a blast from the past. <a href="https://instagram.com/upstatevintage/" target="_blank">Upstate Vintage & Threads</a> had a fabric panel that was the same one I used to make a Halloween costume for Leigh in 1987. She was almost 10 months old then and I found this adorable Trick-or-Treat bag panel and turned it into a costume for her. I've always made the kids costumes and this was an easy way to make a semi-homemade one.<br />
<br />
I apologize in advance for the terrible cell phone photos, but I was just too lazy tonight to break out the big camera!<br />

I've fallen in love with Beistle die cuts and found one from 1989 at the thrift store for just .10 !! Popped it on a piece of framed scrapbook paper and it looks amazing next to the tree.<br />

I didn't use glass over her as she's a bit too large for the 8 1/2 x 11 frame but that just shows off her colors and character better, and since she's adhered with foam dots, she looks like she is flying out of the frame.</div>

Right above the witch is a light switch. Ugh! Why do builders place light switches and thermostats in the most inconvenient places? Can't they place it next to the door frame instead of 2 feet over? Things that make you go hmmm.....</div>

But that's ok, because I covered it up!!! We have a membership to Birch Box and I simply glued the bottom of one of the boxes to a 4 x 6 frame (after I had placed the print in it) and covered the box with ribbon. Two straight pins are all that was needed to keep it in place over the light switches.</div>

I've always had a thing for stained glass candle holders and found these two about 10 years ago. I glued one onto a glass candlestick with E600 to give him some height. They are the perfect vintage accent along with my paper mache cat that my Mom gave to me a couple of years ago. It came from Hobby Lobby and they have them again this year in case you are looking for one.</div>

I found this candle holder at our local thrift shop and gave it a little height with a home made pedestal. The owl came from Target a couple of years ago and gets a lift from a couple of glass tea light holders glued together with E6000. The holders were painted black after they were glued together and a fan of scrapbook paper added on top before the owl was glued on to it.</div>

I know it's early still, but I'm so glad we have this up because I want to enjoy it as long as I possibly can! We will probably be out of town for Thanksgiving this year, so this will probably be swapped out in November for a Christmas Tree. I'm kind of looking forward to being able to decorate for Christmas before Thanksgiving! </div>

Well I can tell you that we do! I've been dreaming of a Halloween tree for years, but just couldn't bring myself to spend the money on a black tree. But thanks to Hobby Lobby's after Christmas clearance in January of this year, we now have our very own Halloween Tree!<br />

It's the perfect spot for our <a href="http://www.craftyincrosby.com/2015/08/vintage-halloween-cat-paper-doll.html" target="_blank">Vintage Halloween Cat</a> and for $2 I couldn't pass it up. You've probably seen these trees at Hobby Lobby and I've always thought they looked so sad. Especially the black ones! I'm sorry, but I just think there is something wrong with black Christmas trees. Black is for Halloween! Not Christmas!</div>

Worse than Charlie Brown's tree - don't you think? But it made a great base for our vintage tree. I filled it in with lengths of black tulle, also from Hobby Lobby, and that made all the difference in the world. The tulle was cut in lengths equal to the branches, and tied onto the trunk. Then we added ribbon, ornaments made with glitter paper, starbursts made from paper straws and small ornaments from Garden Ridge. You might know it as At Home but it will always be Garden Ridge to me! The Boo ornament came from Michaels. It was plain wood and got a coat of orange paint and glitter, of course!</div>

I had a small flower pot out in the garage that we spray painted orange to use as a base. We filled it with plaster of Paris, then removed the wood base from the tree and set it into the pot. Leigh and I debated about decorating it, but ultimately felt that it detracted from the tree and looked better plain.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I know it's kind of early for Halloween, but I've been dreaming about this tree since January and just couldn't wait any longer! Besides, I'm going to start decorating for Halloween next weekend. What better way to spend a 3 day weekend than turning the house into Halloween Town?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What do you think? Too early or not? Please let me know if I'm crazy or just getting ahead of the holiday rush?</div>

We've used vintage witch photos in the past and found this adorable vintage photo on <a href="http://thegraphicsfairy.com/" target="_blank">The Graphics Fairy</a>. I thought she would make a sweet little apprentice and with the addition of a witch hat, courtesy of <a href="http://lexivoneerie.deviantart.com/art/Witch-s-hat-PNG-489535963" target="_blank">LexiVonErrie on Deviantart</a>, she is all ready for Halloween.<br />

That's when I knew that it was official and PUMPKIN EVERYTHING time was here! Pumpkin muffins, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cake, pancakes, ice cream, jack-o-lanterns, glitter pumpkins, burlap pumpkins, and on, and on, and on! (Sounds like Bubba in Forest Gump!)<br />
<br />
Since the Pinterest world has turned into PUMPKIN EVERYTHING, I decided that we also needed a board of the same name - click on the photo below to go directly to our board -<br />

How do you like my Longaberger basket? I picked it up for $20 in Fredericksburg last month. I've got several of these baskets that I've collected over the years and was just tickled pink to find this one. It looks great hanging from the chalkboard along with a vintage apron.</div>

Mr. Crafty actually cut them out last fall but we never got around to putting them together. They were so quick and easy and I love the primitive look of them. What do you think?<br />

<br />
The pumpkins are 4x4's cut into 6, 8, and 10" length and painted orange. The stems are thick branches that are cut to 2-4" lengths and then attached with E6000. We drilled small holes next to the stems and inserted the wire vines with a dab of E6000. Then hot glue a green leaf on top and they are all done. The black cat is an 8" 2x4 that is notched out, painted black with googly eyes and a bit of ribbon. So quick and easy and the best part is they can be used from now until Christmas!<br />
<br />
Here are the 4x4's before being decorated -<br />

Can't believe we let a whole month slip by without posting a thing! July has been just crazy busy with VBS, a trip to Fredericksburg and massive amounts of yard work! Thanks heavens the yard work is all done because it has been viciously hot the past couple of weeks.<br />
<br />
But guess what time it is? Time to start working on Halloween Decorations! I found this adorable vintage cat on Pinterest and spruced him up with some glitter.<br />

Isn't he just adorable? I found the printable on Pinterest and couldn't find the original source. If this belongs to you, please let me know so that I can give you proper credit. I tried the Google Image source and also tried to find Prim Gatherings on line but there are just too many sites.</div>

Here's the printable and you can also find it on our <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/jlsumruld/vintage-halloween/" target="_blank">Vintage Halloween Board.</a> I printed him on cardstock and then affixed that to another piece of black cardstock with spray glue.</div>

He is going to look amazing on our soon to be Halloween Tree. Picked this one up after Christmas last year at Hobby Lobby for 90% off. Check back this week as we decorate it. We are making all kinds of vintage ornaments for it.</div>

Leigh and I both get so excited when we see Halloween decorations in the stores. We saw them at Michaels and At Home (formerly Garden Ridge) this past week. Woohoo! It makes me dream of cooler weather, fall, firepits and so much fun with the family.</div>

With that in mind, we wanted to share our Easy Patriotic Centerpiece from 2013 because 2 years later, it still has a place of honor on our mantel. It's so easy to make and it's not to late to make one of your own!<br />
<br />
Here is our original post -<br />
<br />
Last 4th of July I decorated the mantel on the 4th - nothing like waiting till the last minute! I got the idea for this centerpiece from a wooden one that I saw at Kohls. The minute I saw it, I knew that I could make one from paper for just pennies.<br />
<br />
This year I added a 3D star to the front of it and it is finally complete!<br />
<br />

<br />
You will need 4-12x12 sheets of scrapbook paper, 1 piece of black foamcore board 12 1/2" x 3" and a hot glue gun.<br />
<br />
I made one of these for Halloween last year and put together a step by step tutorial that I am going to share here - just pretend that this is red/white/blue paper and that the skeletons are stars!<br />
<br />
Start folding on sheet of 12x12 scrapbook paper making folds about 3/4" each. It is important that the first fold be backside of paper to backside.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Continue folding until the entire paper is folded. I didn't worry too much about the folds being exactly the same. It really doesn't matter if one is a little larger than the others. Take a look at how much larger the middle fold is than the others, but once it is complete you won't be able to tell.</div>

I've been slowly adding gold accents to our mantel and wanted a gold cloche to display seashells in. We made a cloche with a black handle for Halloween 2013 and I thought it would look classy in gold.<br />
<br />
What do you think?<br />

It was super easy to make and cost less than $10 - not including the paint and E6000 glue. Here's what you need - dollar store candlestick, glass vase (got this one at Walmart), small plate (Walmart), wood knob, large washer, E6000 glue and Krylon Gold Metallic Spray Paint.</div>

Making the cloche is easy to do but will take 2 days to allow everything to dry. Start by spray painting the washer and knob and let dry thoroughly. Once dry, glue the washer and knob to the top of the vase with E6000. Next glue the plate to the candlestick with E6000, let dry overnight and spray paint the candlestick and plate. I used Krylon Metallic spray paint and it is amazing! I love the beautiful gold finish that it gave to this project and would highly recommend it.</div>

Well, summertime is officially started out in Crosby as we have put, what we loving call "The Redneck Swimming Hole", back up! This is the fourth year for our little Intex pool and I can certainly say that it has been the best $249 we ever spent for our backyard.<br />
<br />
This year we replaced the reed fencing, as it was very faded and starting to come apart, and we also decided that we needed a new sign. So flipped the sign over and now we have a Mermaid Pond.<br />

Between work, family and trying to get some yard work in between all the rain storms, we have been working non-stop! And really, what's with the rain? We are about to float away down here and there is no end in sight.<br />
<br />
Hope everyone enjoyed the holiday weekend! The only crafting I managed to squeeze in was new chalkboard art. Trying to keep up our spirits with all the darn rain!<br />

Those bowls were no longer available but they had some similar starting at $39.95!! Way to rich for our blood! While we love our dogs, I'm not going to spend that, plus shipping on a water bowl. But, of course, I knew that I could probably make something similar. A quick trip to Walmart and for less than $10, Lizzie and Annie now have an elegant water bowl.<br />

Not only is it elegant, but it is also elevated which is much better for our girls anyway! Small dogs are prone to bone and joint strain and an elevated bowl can improve their posture and help reduce the strain.</div>

I'm just about positive that we have one in every room in our house! Everything from pillar to jar to tea lights - we've got them. The problem with inexpensive pillar candles (besides their complete lack of character) is that the wax runs everywhere and you can't really burn them without making a mess - especially the cheap ones from Wally World.<br />
<br />
But we've got a super quick and easy way to make them look and burn like expensive designer candles! All it takes is a heat gun, cocktail napkin and a white candle.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Simply open up the napkin and cut it to fit your candle. Some cocktail napkins have a loose inner liner and you might want to pull it off. These napkins came from Dollar Tree and the liner wouldn't come loose, so I left it alone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then wrap the napkin around your candle and starting with the edge, use the heat gun to melt the wax to adhere the napkin to the candle. Use your fingers to smooth out the napkin as you work you way around the candle.</div>

Thought you might want to see one after it has burned for a bit. As you can see, the sides stay up and have a thin layer of wax on them. There were a few drips that came through the sides and I just used my finger to smooth them out so that you couldn't see them. </div>

A cake, to me, has a always been an expression of love. I learned this from my Mom. She always shows her love to us by feeding everyone and is never happier than when she is cooking up a storm for the family. I have many fond memories of licking the beaters after watching her whip up something sweet for us! That's probably why I like baking so much - getting to lick the beaters!!<br />
<br />
While I'm not a professional baker by any means, I'm not a complete novice. But I have to tell you, I had never heard of this trick before and can say with complete honesty that I will never bake another layer cake without using dampened towel strips!! Mirlandra of <a href="http://mirlandraskitchen.com/" target="_blank">Mirlandra's Kitchen</a> posted this wonderful How-To last October and I recently found it on Pinterest and used it on a cake I baked for Easter. The following two photos and recipe are courtesy of <a href="http://mirlandraskitchen.com/how-to-bake-a-perfect-cake/" target="_blank">Mirlandra's Kitchen</a>.<br />

<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-0" itemprop="recipeInstructions" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Line each pan with circles of wax or parchment paper. I like to place the pans on the paper, draw a circle, and then cut it out.</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-1" itemprop="recipeInstructions" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Butter the sides of the pan generously. If the liner is trying to curl up, use a smear of butter to tack it down so that it will stay flat.</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-2" itemprop="recipeInstructions" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Fill the cake pans with batter according to the recipe.</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-3" itemprop="recipeInstructions" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Take an old towel that you don't care about anymore and cut it into strips that fit the height of the cake pans. If your cake pan is 2" tall you need a 2" wide strip of towel. Each strip needs to fit at least once around the pan once plus a few inches. If the towel is very thin and threadbare, cut 2-3 strips for each pan. If the towel is very thick, cut 1-2 strips. I use 2 strips of thin towel for my pans.</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-4" itemprop="recipeInstructions" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Get the towel strips sopping wet in the sink and then squeeze them until they are wet but not dripping everywhere .</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-5" itemprop="recipeInstructions" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Wrap one towel strip around the pan until the ends overlap. Start the second strip on top of the exposed end of the first. Wrap it around the bottom strip. Secure the strips with a safety pin or paperclip.</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-6" itemprop="recipeInstructions" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Bake the cake as directed in the recipe. When the cake is 3-5 minutes from being done, remove the towel strips and put the cake back in the oven. This allows the edge of the cake to finish baking. If you do not do this, the edge will remain so moist that the frosting will fall off.</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-7" itemprop="recipeInstructions" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">You can hand wash your towel strips and use them over and over again for many years.</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-8" itemprop="recipeInstructions" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Let your cakes rest according to the directions in the recipe. When it is time to remove the cake to the rack, loosen the sides with a silicone spatula. Use a plate or flat platter to flip the cake over unto its top. Thump the bottom of the pan once or twice and the cake should fall out of the pan. Lining the pan allows the cake to release easily and prevents most broken cakes.</li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-9" itemprop="recipeInstructions" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Put the cake (rack and all) in a clean, unscented trash bag to finish cooling. This will help the cake remain moist throughout the cool down process.</li>

<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica Neue;"><span style="line-height: 21px;">We made a delicious Easter <a href="http://www.thegunnysack.com/2015/03/mm-ice-cream-cake.html" target="_blank">M&M Ice Cream Cake</a> with a recipe I found on <a href="http://www.thegunnysack.com/2015/03/mm-ice-cream-cake.html" target="_blank">The Gunny Sack</a>. Tonia from The Gunny Sack, states in the instructions, to let the layers cool and use a large serrated knife to cut off the domes. But let me tell you, with this trick, the layers will turn out perfectly flat and with a beautiful edge. </span></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; line-height: 21px;">The layers were baked in spring form pans and the towel strips worked perfectly. </span></div>
<div>

<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; line-height: 21px;">I didn't take pictures of the cake I baked during the process, but did take a quick shot after it was cut (and partially eaten!!) Never in my life have I baked such beautifully flat layers - if only I could have gotten them even, but hey, they were nice and flat! Next time, I'll work on even!</span></div>

After going through our Easter <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/jlsumruld/holidays-~-easter/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pinterest Board</a>, Leigh and I decided on Bunnies in a Jar and Bunny Poop! Something for the Young and the Less Young!!<br />

I wanted to use the snack size bags but came home with ones that had printed markings on them, so we made do with full size sandwich bags. We folded the printable over and "sandwiched" (no pun intended!) the bag in between. The ribbon is threaded through 2 small holes that were punched through both layers of cardstock and the sandwich bag.</div>

I really love the Bunnies in the jars - country elegance and will look great on the dinner table. You will need edible Easter grass (found ours at Walmart and Walgreens), small chocolate bunnies, malted milk eggs, mason jar, jar lid insert and ribbon or baker's twine.</div>
