Card-Making!

K, so there's an annoying shadow on the pic and even though my camera is 10 megapixels, it sucks...but you get the idea. Kirsten let me use a bunch of her supplies (and she has a ton!, lemme tell ya) I made all of these cards using her stamps and cardstock this weekend. It is so much fun and I have a ton of ready-made cards for birthdays, thank yous, and baby showers!

Fabric Button Earrings!

My friend, Kirsten, taught me how to make these adorably simple fabric earrings this week at her house! I am so in love 1) because they are uber-cute and 2) because they are incredibly easy and inexpensive to make ! I just need to get paid now, so I can go buy the kit and get some spunky fabrics. Super excited because these make great gifts and I can make pairs to match my clothes =)

Dress Betty!

Been absent from the bloggie this week, trying to get votes on my Dress Betty design at my favorite boutique, Bags that Fit! I was able to round up 229 votes, but alas, the other chick went on UVU's campus and spent all day there asking strangers to vote and she won with 250 "likes". I don't like losing, but I also don't like spending my whole Saturday asking strangers to log onto Facebook! I had a lot of people rooting for me and trying to round up votes for me and it meant alot. Even though I lost, I came away feeling very *loved* and supported =) (And I SERIOUSLY DID HAVE THE CUTEST OUTFIT!!!)

Peanut Wraps.

Ingredients:
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp pepper
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
1 tbs cooking oil (I use peanut oil)
4 cups broccoli slaw (I use one bag and it works fine)
1 medium red onion (I skip this if we don't have it or use a white onion and it's still delish)
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
Tortillas

Peanut Sauce:
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy work, I kind of like crunchy for the added crunch)
3 tbs soy sauce
5 tbs water
3 tbs cooking oil
1 or 2 cloves freshly pressed garlic cloves (sometimes I just use garlic powder)

Directions:
Season chicken strips with garlic salt and pepper. In a large skillet cook chicken in hot oil on medium-high until no pink left. Put aside and keep warm.
In same skillet add broccoli mix, onion, and ginger. Cook until crisp but tender.

Make peanut sauce while veggies cook. In a small saucepan combine sauce ingredients, heat and stir until dissolved.

Serve by layering the veggies, chicken, and sauce in a tortilla. Wrap it up. Eat it up. Lick your plate. Makes 6-8 wraps. (Makes a great salad too!)
