Oreo cheesecake :)

Last weekend my sister Lauren and I made mini oreo cheesecakes, for a party we were having.
They tasted so good! Everyone loved them! They were a real treat! (sadly I didn't take a picture of them... ) Anyways, for the recipe (and a picture) click on this link http://gimmesomeoven.com/oreo-cookies-cream-cheesecakes/


A couple of photos I have taken recently:

In Christ alone

I received a camera at Christmas. Even though I know I have not figured out everything it can do, I love it!

Here is a picture I took on a walk the other day.






I also wanted to share with you a beautiful song. It's called "In Christ Alone" and It is preformed by Owl City. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnWw24s5gG8

Silk flower headbands

Hello Again!
Over the past week, I have been trying to make silk flower headbands!!!
I found a tutorial from a website, and I was eager to try them.
They were so cute and sounded so easy to make, that I couldn't resist.
So, I went to the store found, the cheapest satin I could, and came home and tried to make one!
It turned out so cute! I has thrilled, so obviously I had to make about six more! :) Something, really great about these headbands is that each one cost about sixty cents to make. Amazing, huh? I am planning on get some new colors (so that I won't have to have more than six in the same color...) and make some more!
Here is the link to "Make it and Love it" the blog I found the headbands on. http://www.makeit-loveit.com/2010/08/blog-post.html
You should take a look at her blog, she has some really cute and easy sounding sewing projects!
I am sure I will post some more projects soon, as I just got a brand new sewing machine for my birthday! I am planning on doing some sewing this weekend, I am so excited!
