Pallet Shelf

I'm going to try something new. At the beginning of each week I'll have an inspiration board coordinating with something I've been working on.  Then sometime later that week I'll show you my project. You know, kind of organize myself a little bit.  Well earlier this week I showed you some pretty pallet pictures.  

My friend Lyssa game me this pallet shelf back in December.  I've been waiting to spray paint it, but this week I decided to stencil it instead.  I used my silhouette to cut a stencil and mixed up some yellow paint.  I don't have much on my shelf  yet.  But it is the perfect spot for my hoop art from my fab partner Andrea.  { I participated in Life Made Lovely's hoop art swap.}  It adds a nice sunny touch to my dining room, although I might move the whole thing to my craft room since there isn't anything on the walls in there. Jars of buttons and flowers will be a nice touch don't you think?

 
Happy Weekend!

Have A Cookie!

I know that there are a million claims to the best chocolate chip cookie recipe.  And I don't know if there coupld possibly be THE very best one but around here my aunt Chandra's recipe is pretty popular.  It is my friend Lindsay's birthday today so I packaged up some of these yummy goods just for her. {You should be able to eat as many cookies as you want on your birthday.} If you are in the mood to try them out I'm posting the recipe just for you!  Oh and last night we tried sprinkling the dough with sea salt before baking...  Um.  YUM!  Adds a whole new level to how good these cookies are.  So whether you are trying out this recipe or using your own and you go for that whole salty/sweet thing, I highly recommend adding a little sea salt to your cookie!

One other cookie tip!  I cream the butter and sugars for 3-5 minutes.  After that I only mix until incorporated.
What are your cookie tips?!

... and going to church in my pajamas.  Twice a year my church {that would be the LDS Church} holds a General Conference.  It is broadcast from Salt Lake City and thanks to modern technology I get to enjoy listening to our prophet speak from the comfort of my home.  As I was trying to find the link online to stream the video on our TV I found out that it will even be streaming on Facebook.  If you are interested in checking out conference you can find it streaming HERE or HERE and here is the facebook link...

{fancy that you can even watch it right here!}

Have a fabulous weekend!
