Diamond Painting Cupcakes!

-
Hey reader!

I took a trip on my lunch break a week ago and found Diamond Art on sale at Michael's. Everyone loves a good sale, and I have wanted to try a new Diamond Art. You might recall that the last diamond art was beginner level. This one is considered advanced. Here is the thing: all that has changed is the size. I am not sure that is more challenging, just more time consuming.

I don't know what I expected. I can't even really make a joke of how I would have made this project more challenging. Actually, I can. Have you heard of Holey Moley? It is a miniature golf competition show that added obstacle courses to up the difficulty and the viewership. Think Wipeout with more golf.

Fortunately, I wasn't expected to run through any windmills while I completed this project. I guess windmills wouldn't make sense on a crafting related obstacle course show. I guess I would be more likely to be forced to navigate through giant foam scissors or jump through a big paint brush.
This is starting to feel more like Double Dare than a crafting game show. If Marc Summers hosts I am so on board.

I feel like I have to alert you to something. I just had to search for the proper spelling of Marc Summers' name. I thought it was "Marc Sommers," and boy is my face red. However, in my search I stumbled upon the Double Dare Live tour. Marc Summers is coming to a city near you for a live episode of Double Dare. It doesn't look like it is quite at the scale of the original, but does that matter?

I am waiting for the touring production of Figure It Out or a Clarissa Explains It All reunion show. Honestly, I wouldn't even care that none of them look like kids anymore. Make it happen people!

How did we even get here!? Back to the cupcake art. It looks super awesome and is currently up on my office door because I am an adult who decorates my office like an adult.

Don't forget to trim your edges when you are done with your Diamond Art. Also, I definitely got a deal because a similarly sized project is 60 bucks at Michael's now!

Keep making cool stuff,
Until next time,

Foodstirs Out Of This World Donut Kit!

Hey reader! I know I promised you cotton candy making, but this post is time sensitive! This is kind of a unique post today. I am writing about my experience making the Foodstirs Out Of This World Donut Ki t . What is Foodstirs? Foodstirs is the new box dessert delivery company owned by Sarah Michelle Gellar of Buffy fame. All of the ingredients in a Foodstirs box are ethically sources, non GMO, and organic. The recipes are also designed to be fun and easy to make with kids. JustLeah and I host the weekly Buffy podcast, J and L Watches , and when we saw that this product existed we thought it would be super awesome to give it a try. We are pretty much children ourselves, so this could be a great project! We were not paid or compensated in any way for this review, but if Sarah Michelle Gellar wants to send us more donuts, we are very cool with that. Anyway, even the packaging is adorable! It didn't come with quite everything we needed to make donuts. We needed to provide ...

Ecto Cooler Fail

Hey Reader, Not all projects can be successful. I remember this blog started with a failed attempt to make a pumpkin shaped puppet (that really I think I can do better this time, but thats a blog post for another day). Recently, I have been on a 90s kick. I can remember an employee I had once sharing feedback with me that it was hard to relate in conversations with me because I talked about the 80s so much. I told him he was a child and that I was, in fact, talking about the 90s. Suffice to say, this 90s obsession has been happening for a while now. I really wanted to make some Hi-C Ecto Cooler. If you are not as obsessed with "the eighties" as me: 1. What is wrong with you? and 2. Here is an explanation of Hi-C Ecto cooler . Ecto Cooler was a drink produced by Hi-C in a brand deal promoting the The Real Ghostbusters TV series from 1986. It was actually just a repurposing of their Citrus Cooler flavor, but this time dyed a funky green color like the character of Slimer fr...

New House Series - Media Room Pt 1 - Walls Pt 3

Ok Reader, I gave you a short break from my constant wall talk. Now we are back at it full force. Here is the situation: Wall smoothing has been an insane amount of work. All that talk of rue-ing aside, I have enjoyed it for the most part. However, the epic tale of wall smoothing is about to take a turn. It finally appeared as if the wall smoothing was done and I started thinking paint colors. Since this room is designed to look like its night, I wanted a dark blue. It isn't a huge room, so I had to think about not making it too cave-like. I happen to like caves myself, but that is a whole separate conversation. I settled on a pretty bright blue color. My thought was this: if the color is really bright, that will compensate for it being a room that rarely has the lights on (since its for movies of course). I bought a tester of paint. I have some questions for the painters among us. There are whole aisles in the home improvement stores of paint. I went wandering down their to ...
