LESSology Challenge #41 ~ Beautiful Scenery

LESSology Challenge #41 Beautiful Scenery

We were asked to create a scene, since halloween is near, I need some decor for my corner at the entrance. My recycled items for this projects are....

this wooden box for the scrabble tiles I got from the Brooklyn Flea in NYC

and the name sticker badge from the school I teach

of all the method I used for glitters, I find the best way is to used sticker paper. I trace the bat on the sticker label badge above, and then pour black glitters all over

Beautiful scene or spooky scene, I leave it up to you! 

This month, our sponsor is Studio Calico, winner will receive this...

I am leaving early in the morning for a short road trip, driving my girl to LAX, she is flying to Singapore for her internship, work in the global banking department for 6 weeks, I hate to see her go because I enjoy having her home with me for the summer. Dolce and I do a lot of cooking and baking together, and we like to go thrifting as well, now I am so sad that she will be gone all of this summer : (

but it is a good opportunity especially she is majoring accounting in NYC, this global experience is going to add some much to her resume, she just turned 19, she has bright future ahead of her with this experience on top of her 4.0 average every semester, so.... sometimes mom just has to learn to let go.....

I am going to miss Papi too...

he is staying home this time, hubby is going to work near the airport for 2 days, that is not a pet-friendly hotel, so Papi stay home and we have our neighbor coming over twice a day just to feed and play with him....

What's Cooking

My older daughter Clare is a vegan, she is constantly searching for healthy recipe, I thought I could alter this recipe box I picked up at the craft store for 0.50 to something she would enjoy.

Plus... when we ordered the best chocolate chip cookies from OVERLY, the package came with this tiny rolling pin

after a little bit of red paint, this cute rolling pin can be put into used

I also put in some quirky and fun quotes into the box

for the recipe cards, I just cover the index cards with a bit of pattern paper

and tiny bits of stamping
