At My House





Quilt Group was 
at my house today...

I cleaned my 
ceiling fan for them.  :)

I love a good theme.

What is better than 
the 4th of July?!
So...
we indulged in 


yum

 
Snacks & 
Crackers with pineapple & habanero sauce --
 (the crackers weren't colored coordinated, so no picture --
 they didn't go with the theme.)
 

Showed the ladies how to make this


A little Hawaiian Punch, 
Gatorade G2 - blueberry pomegranate and
diet sierra mist.  
I did try it with regular 7up,
but it needs to be diet, 
so you get the layering with bright colors.


It also can double 
as a science lesson;
so it's tasty and
 informative.

Perfect for kids!

Very happy with my 
Target dollar aisle Star Ice Cube Trays.
I thought maybe they'd work once, 
but they are great.  
We made a lot of ice.


And since the ladies drove a bit...
they needed a snack for the ride home.

 

 Pretzels dipped in chocolate with star sprinkles. 
They make me happy.

    1. Fill with ice, put the Hawaiian punch in the bottom, then slowly pour the blue gatorade and then slowly pour the sierra mist. easy.
