Day 21: A Recipe
As a kid, I apparently received this amazing cook book with great recipes for kids. I even stared the one I really liked and remember eating/trying some of thing things in this lovely copied note card recipe book!

I figured, since they are such simple "recipes" I would provide you with more than one! 

This drink was to die for, as a child... would I try it now...eh, probably not!

Okay, so I love apples and I double love cheese whiz, and this was one of my favorites if my memory serves me right... but, really, what was I thinking?? 

 Now I had to add this one, 

because it is still a staple in our house for lazy nights. 

Pair it with some mac and cheese and you are set! 

Do you remember any childhood recipes that you can share?

Day 20: A hobby of yours
Recently my favorite hobby (outside of loving crafts and photography) has been spending time, playing and taking walks with my dog, Stevie. We got him right between New Years and Christmas this past year, so this summer has been our first real opportunity to get outside and get some good playing in! 

He loves running in my dads backyard. 

And posing for pictures! 

We both love people watching.

He also loves accessorizing. 

How exciting!

I was just spending my Sunday evening sorting through my Google Reader and came across a post from Unexpected Elegance that had my name in it?!?Now, I have to be honest, I love giveaways on blogs, so I enter several a week, but the giveaway on this blog was for ad space! Now, my blog is for sure just in it's beginning stages, but having an ad on a blog that lots more people read...AWESOME!! I'm really looking forward to gaining new followers, so hopefully my blog will take off! Check out Unexpected Elegance if you have a chance! And thanks for checking me out!

Day 19 - A talent of yours

Okay, so this is like my super weird talent... 

(because I think I'm a decent photographer, crafter, teacher, etc.)

I figured out I could do this while I was in college, bored I guess...

These are my feet:

I can do this, without touching them with my hands... 

Don't quite see it... check out this picture! 

It's kinda like praying with my feet... sorta. 

I start out with my pinky toes and work my way up...Try it! 

Needless to say, I've been referred to as "monkey toes" before, 

probably because I can do this, write with my feet, and pick up just about anything with my toes.

The Ceremony

The Wedding Party

The Family

Entering the Reception

This is just a basic overview of my wedding in general!

Day 17 - Journal

Day 17: An art piece Okay, so most everyone has seen a Mail Pouch Tobacco Barn, or if in Ohio a Bicentenial Barn, but this barn my dad showed me is all it's own... and very unlike any other barns out there. Claude Ruston Baker turned his typical barn into a work of art. As you are pulling down the road, this is the side facing the direction of the road we came from.The Beatles in the later years, Janis and some other guy (don't remember who they said he was) and my favorite part of the whole barn: (see picture 2 for close up)  

The old man and his cute dog posting their Woodstock themed sign!

Be prepared, kinda scary one below... I heard they have covered him up and added someone different since I was there last!

 

And of course, my husband, Dave as a new member of Pink Floyd, as he says!

Even the tank out back is painted as the yellow submarine! Too fun!

 

Have you seen any unique works of art? Feel free to share!
