Order of Arrow Ceremony

I'm so excited this past week. My son was at his Boy Scout camp all week and he was picked for Order of Arrow. That is a special ceremony they hold for boys that are picked out of camp and have to due certain things required of them to get this Order of Arrow Badge. You can see it on the guys below is a white sash with a red arrow. This is what he received after the requirements.The ceremony was held at Mitigwa, Iowa. The first picture is the beginning of the ceremony. We had to walk from there to a different part of the camp and all Order of the Arrow scouts lit a path for us to follow and we are not to speak during this ceremony. It was neat to see this being performed. My 2nd picture is a night shot in the second location of ceremony and the last picture is my son being picked on the left. We(his dad and I ) are so proud of him and congratulations to you Jared!

Look What I requested for a Birthday Card

I have requested several cards from ExpressivePapers. She has always pulled through and I love her work! She does an amazing job with her cards. This one I needed was for my step mother in law who is turning 80. So I told her kinda of what I was looking for and she asked a few questions to get more details and this is the card she came up with. I was so excited when I opened it up it took my breathe away. Such great detail. She has two Stores on Etsy and Artfire. She also is on facebook I would highly recommend her! Thanks so much ExpressivePapers and the photos are from her.

Chocolate cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream Frosting seen on Nate Berkus Show

I really enjoy watching the Nate Berkus show. I usually watch it later because I TVO it. This segment was Sophie LaMontagne and Katherine Kallinis of Georgetown Cupcake share their recipe for Chocolate Cupcakes with vanilla buttercream frosting. I have to tell you they are to die for. So glad they were willing to share their recipe. I would highly suggest making the recipe. My husband thought they were wonderful! Best compliment I had in ever making any kind of cakes or cupcakes. I know my cupcakes don't look at perfect as theirs but still the great taste. My hats of to those two sisters!
