Another QR Code

I wanted to share a great looking recipe with you and see if you are able to open my code.  Let me know if you get the recipe.  You need a QR Code Reader App and that is all.  I think I will make this recipe for Easter weekend.  It looks like my family's kind of dessert. 

Have a wonderful weekend!

XOXO,

QRCodes

This past weekend I attended a teacher's state convention. I was able to select two workshops to attend Saturday morning.  I selected one on healthy eating and the other was called App'L.  It was led by a young high school Biology teacher who is very tech savvy.  She shared apps for the classrooms and apps for fun.  The first app we explored was QRReader.  If you have an Apple device you definitely want to download it.  Once you have it on your IPhone, IPad or IPod it allows you to scan qr codes from any source.  It is amazing how teachers can use qr codes for teaching tech savvy students.  Anyway, I love the codes and they are everywhere.  So I made one tonight for my blog.  I hope to generate more that will be interesting to you but tonight I have just this one.  So if you have that app get busy reading qr codes and seeing the latest way to get information.  What are you favorite apps? 

Have a wonderful Thursday!

XOXO,

Karen

Easter Mini-Tote

I've been working on a couple of Easter things for my sweet babies.  There is just not enough time in one day to do everything. I ordered Sloan this green and white polka dot mini-market tote for her Easter basket.

It easily slips off the frame for embroidering.  For Grayson, I ordered a purple mini-tote.  I will probably use a lime green thread on the purple.  I have been collecting special books and little gifts to fill their totes.

You've seen this Sweet Chick design but this time I put it on a tee for Sloaney.

She's my Sweet Chick for sure!

Speaking of Sweet Chick....here she is.

XOXO to Sloaney

Unexpected Holiday

Yesterday it started raining after noon and it continued to rain through the night.  It was not just a slow rain, it was a torrential rain.  Our parish and neighboring parishes were flooded in many areas.  Schools were closed today.  However, all of that has moved out and at least in our area, the water is no standing in our yards. My son travels about 50 miles to work and another 50 miles home.  I pray every morning for his safety to and from work.  Little did I know that yesterday on his trip home that he would encounter a tornado on the highway.  One of the girls that is in his carpool had the composure to video the whole experience.  It was very scary for them.  They are safe but it sure gives us something to be thankful for and something to talk about :) 

So on my rain day holiday from work this is what I did...

My newest recipe from Pinterest....

Bunny Bark

It is so delicious and fun to make.  It is even more fun to give away.  This is my 3rd time to make it.  The first I made over the weekend.  I didn't have Oreo cookies on hand so I used Do-si-dos (my Girl Scout cookies).  It really has been the best tasting batch that I've made.  But Oreos are yummy, too.

The recipe and source can be found HERE.

I have a state convention to attend this weekend.  My good friend is the state president ( I think I've shared that with you before).  I just had to take her a little something because I'm so proud of her and because it never hurts to be in good graces with a state president :) I figured a pail filled with Bunny Bark and other goodies would work.  

I found this adorable polka dot pail at Target.  Using my Cricut I cut her initials with my software and vinyl.  Then I added lots of treats. 

I also had a couple of burp cloths to stitch for Baby Samuel.  I made them coordinating.

This almost looks like a sunflower to me.

Same fabric and same thread colors

I hope everyone is ok after our rains/flood.

For me it was an unexpected holiday.  I enjoyed it but it's back to work tomorrow.

Have a good Thursday.

XOXO,

Karen
