Bloggers! Try this!

I just figured out the coolest thing!  It was quite by accident.  If you blog on blogger or log into your blog through gmail and you have a smart phone or tablet you have to try this!


Find the app called "HP iPrint" in the market.  I found this in my Android Market, but I have  feeling it is available in the iPhone market too.


Anyway, download it and open it.  My printers are too old to print from this app, but I opened my Gallery from this app and it pulled up EVERY  picure from all three of my jblogspot blogs in the gallery!!!

I tell you, it was a total walk down memory lane!  Pictures from back when I started blogging filled my gallery. I am quite amazed how much blogging I have done and how many aweaome projects I have done.  You really must try it.  And, if your blog is through some other site and you try it, let me know if it works or not.

Like I said, my printers won't print these because they aren't connected to wifi but I will keep the app just to have all of those pictures to look at!

Decorative Boxes

 I finally had some time to hang out in my craftroom today and this is what I accomplished after I cleaned my table off (no small feat!)  I have had these black shiny boxes sitting around for quite some time, so I decided it was time to do something with them.  I added some decorative papers and some ribbons and a bit of glitter to make these.

Below are the kinds of products I used.  They aren't exact, but you could make these using the stuff I've posted below. 

These are the type of boxes I used...

Paper Mache Boxes 3/Pkg-8",9",10" Round

You could use this kind of chipboard alphabet for the numbers on the top.  I used raw ones as seen below...and covered them with glitter.

I couldn't find the polka-dot crepe paper that I used on box number two online, but any crepe paper will do!  Just fold it back and forth and attach the center of the circle with some hot glue!

Black Velvet Streamer - 1 Pack

I used a black yarn like this one around the edge of box number 3.  I also used satin ribbon folded back and forth and glued into a fan fold.

Flag Cake for Patriotic Holidays

I know I already posted today, but I thought you might like to see the INSIDE of the cake I posted about earlier.  I found the tutorial at Glorious Treats.  Be sure to stop by to see how it is assembled!  Very neat!

I hid the baking and assembling part from my boys.  They didn't see it until the white, whipped cream icing was on it.  Under the whipped cream icing, I made and Italian buttercream and layered and crumb coated with that.  Yum!  My red is a bit pink, but I love pink, so I didn't mind!
