Martha Stewart: Take a Bite out of This!

Grand-prize winner SteffBomb won over our hearts with her adorable "Ice Cream Sammy," created while she was on a mission to curb her sweet tooth.

After making the toy's pattern, she cut it out of cardboard and bristol board. "The inside of the ice cream is a soft piece of foam that I cut out with an electric knife," she says. "I also stuffed the inside of the cookie with a thin layer of batting to give it a little bit of fluff."

Complete with eyes, teeth, and teardrops, the charming 5.5-inch-long toy is 95 percent hand-stitched and looks good enough to eat.

a summer sweet treat: pudding pops ♥ yum!

doesn't that look delicious! pudding pops... mmm... with a little twist- rainbow!

here's how to make this simple and sweet treat.

*Get your ingredients and supplies. You're ready to go!

Ingredients:

*You will need a box {or two} of instant vanilla pudding, milk, food coloring, a couple of mixing bowls, a whisk, plastic or paper cups, and popsicle sticks.

*Pour your pudding mix into a big bowl.

*Pour some milk in.

*Once the pudding is mixed, divide it into separate bowls, the number depending on color but if you want rainbow, use five or six bowls.

*Add in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and brown or whatever color dye is desired. Then stir it up until the color is evened with the amount of pudding.

*Spoon the different colors of pudding into your cups. Try to do smooth and even layers so that you will see a good rainbow on the sides of the pudding pop. Have one of your helpers put a popsicle stick into each of the cups of pudding. The pudding should be thick enough to hold up the stick...if not, cover the cup with plastic wrap and then put the stick through the plastic wrap and into the pudding.

*Place cups in freezer. Time adjusts to size.

*After they are set, use your hands to warm the cup up, so the pop can slide out!

Enjoy and love your cute little treat this summer!

Thanks,

ENJOY!!

A Screaming Mind & Jalapenos

Plans.. Plans.. Plans.. They are haunting me...

My mind is totally screaming right now, all pieces and machines chugging. I have a lot planned for this blog and the other one :) Smiles for you, but for me, I have reminders, to dos, camps, editing projects, etc. etc. Alot for a 12 year old, huh? But trust me, leave it up to me because I am organized and I can take the black cloud of working helping doing reminding editing revamping.. etc. okay I'll stop there. You get it. Up there is some of the stuff, that's coming up. It's my blog journal/log in progress.

Random Note: WOOWEE! I am eating this dirty rice- I think there are jalepenos in it! Yum but SPICY! <3>

shopping haul - p.s. aero

before i headed to the beach, on monday,, my mom and i took a trip to the mall. i found out about this new store, p.s. by aero, and my babysitter took me there before & got me a cute bright yellow sweatshirt. so we went back, and we did a little bit of shopping. their stuff is so cute, and if your in the age range of 9-13, the clothes are good for you. filled to the brim with boys and girls clothes. new and clean. i definitely reccomend you go there if you love sun dresses, preppy shorts, suttle, modest graphic tees (unlike some other stores like justice) and cute accessories.

i didn't like aero, before, but now that they've come out with this store for pretweens, im into it.

JACK JOHNSON: SAVING THE WORLD, ONE HAND AT A TIME

Jack Johnson, an amazing singer and eco friendly guy who's at the age of 33, is now opening an organization, "All at Once" to help save the world economical wise. He is not a big fan of this oil spill, or anything pollution-wise. He's a great man in many ways, but this makes him special- especially for a 33 year old soft-rock music guy to be worrying about this out of anything. This organization he's opened is for people looking to take action against pollution, and things that destroy our nation in natural protection and cleaning up after disasters, and eco problems. He, without the organization, also uses everything natural. He is an organic person. He does worry about the future on this planet with all the bad build up. In example, some of his songs, are about pollution- "Traffic in the Sky".

Other then that, Jack Johnson is my favorite singer of all time. His new hit album "To the Sea" is very popular now. In every CD he makes, you can really feel the way he feels about life and our planet. Each and every song has a quality message about life and being happy. Some songs are sad to really get you in the mood and to understand what will happen with our nation when too many people worry about material things other then what we have. He's very close with the ocean. He surfed as a young kid, and he got hurt. Many people after that told him that he had an amazing voice. He opened his own recording studio, which by the way, uses solar power and is all natural, and he recorded songs for his first album.

His songs are so popular to people over the world and he just started his tour in the Us. My Dad is going to all the concerts he's in this Summer. I am going to two of them. One is tonight. I am very anxious to go! Right now, We are making big posters.

I will post pictures of our shirts, the signs, and the concert later or tomorrow!
