Creative Saturday Revisited


What a terrific Saturday it was and busy too. But, it was all good because I had the perfect reasons to create. Both Married Boo and Son in Boo have birthdays in September and they each had one birthday request...Married Boo wanted homemade cinnamon rolls.


I made over 3 dozen using a recipe that is similar to Cinnabon's.

Son in Boo wanted one thing...a strawberry rhubarb pie. I have NEVER made one of those and never even tasted one. I read up on different recipes and viola! He was sure happy when he tasted it.



Creating comes in many forms and most...cooking being one of those forms so when I cook, I cook with my loved ones in mind. It makes my heart smile when they are yumming over the food that I prepare.

Awhile back, I created cornhusk dolls that were personalized according to the person that was receiving it. I did quite a few for wedding gifts. I sold a few on Ebay. Here is one that I have kept.



Did you have a Creative Saturday?

You really should consider selling these corn husk dolls in your own Etsy store. These are absolutely adorable and imagine if you could make a nativity scene as well. You would have a lot of buyers.

Mmmm..cinnamon buns and strawberry/rhubarb pie -- two of my favourites!! Yours look scrummy!!

Your corn husk dolls are fabulous...aren't you glad you kept some for yourself?

Now, yes, aside from sharing the creative work of a friend and creating a post about it, I did some work in my art journal...I painted two pages in acrylics and did some ghost writing on those pages and then played with some watercolours on a few more pages. I think sat down with scissors and starting cutting up all the magazines I've been saving for ages so I can use them in a vision board.

Those cinnamon buns look glorious! And your strawberry rhubarb pie is amazing! It looks like a tart. Wait, no, it looks like the most delicious pizza I have ever seen--you could cut it into triangles and eat it with your hands! I think you're really on to something there!
I scrapbooked for my creative saturday! :o)

The cinnamon buns look amazingly delicious and the pie looks equally tasty. There is probably a market for your corn husk dolls. Imagine all the things you could do with them for the holiday season you little creative master you!

Nothing creative from here this weekend. I was all set to pull out the canvas and acrylics when Hubby woke up with one of his bad days. I did make homemade Chicken Noodle Soup....that was a little creative (?).
Your corn husk dolls are ADORABLE!
Have a great week~

Strawberry rhubarb is my favorite pie! My weekend was not creative at all, unless you count taking a 3 1/2 yr old to Build a Bear

Simone's got talent!!!

Remember I said I was going to join you on Creative Saturdays? I was looking for my ceramics and realized the good ones are at my mom's. I will be sure to photograph them when I next visit my hometown.

I absolutely love cinnamon rolls! My dad use to make them all of the time and now that he's sick he can't do them and doesn't really remember how.

I created cards on Sunday with a friend. We had a great time!

Aaahhh, a baker. :) Something I will never be. How sweet of you to make exactly what they want. I'm happy that my kids think Wal-Mart and Costco cakes are the best. No pressure.

My Bucket List

My twin sis and I have bucket lists. The funny thing is that they aren't literally on paper. They are in our heads. For instance, my Nay Nay called me and said, "You won 't believe what I did!  I got big girl shoes…for my bucket list." "Really? Big girl shoes?" I asked. I knew exactly what she meant. When we were born, and back in the day when braces could or should be recommended for feet that in-toed, we weren't given that joy. As a result, walking in high heels can often be a challenge. My Nay Nay decided that she was going to cross off one thing on that bucket list and found a deal of 10 pairs of heels. (Not one but 10. She went for the gusto.) Each day, she practiced walking in her big girl shoes until the moment finally came and she ROCKED those heels! Together we have decided that we WILL cross off stuff on our growing bucket lists. Some of those things are on both of our lists while others are our very own "personal" bucket lists...
