Peaches and Cream

This is my newest food creation! I made this for my family yesterday! It is called Peaches and Cream!

Here are the ingredients:

• 4 medium peaches (pitted and sliced like an apple)
• Strawberries (cut into 4ths)
• Blueberries
• 1 cup of heavy whipping cream
• 1 tsp of vanilla extract or almond extract
• Brown sugar

Here is the way to make it:

• Put heavy whipping cream into a bowl and beat it until it becomes thick
• Add almond extract (or vanilla) and beat for another minute
• Then arrange the already cut fruit on a platter and dollop the cream onto the fruit
• Then sprinkle brown sugar on top of the fruit and the cream
• And ENJOY :)

Jeny Got Married!

My sister Jeny got married!! She and her husband Josh (aka J.D) got married on June 1, 2012! Here are a few of the amazing pictures that Amanda Stone took at the wedding :)

I am so happy for Jeny! She deserves a great guy like Josh! And it is a little crazy to think that she is going to be in my wedding 5 months from now. Both of us began dating our significant others in the same year and got married in the same year! It is funny how these things happen. Either way, I am so happy for both of them. :)

Still Life numero 3

This is my latest still life drawing with charcoal. My favorite part was the left side of the drawing. The seashell turned out quite nicely :) The tall glass jar on the right proved to be quite the challenge.

Glass Drawing

This is my first time drawing glass with charcoal. It proved to be very difficult since glass, as you know, is transparent. But not the crystal clear transparent. It distorts whatever goes through it. It took me a while, but I am rather proud of the way this turned out. :)

More Charcoal

This drawing is of a metallic fabric. This was my first attempt of drawing cloth with charcoal. There was a still life with multiple fabrics draped and tied over some sort of wooden stand. This metallic cloth, that was wrapped around one of the wooden poles grabbed my attention and I decided to draw that one specific cloth.

Wedding Ball

Here is something I made today for my upcoming wedding! All it took was a foam ball, paper flowers, and ball point push pins! I am going to tie a ribbon on them and hang them on aisle end chairs! Hope the rest of them turn out as good as this one!

Save the Date Card Ideas

Since Christian and I recently got engaged it's time for SAVE THE DATE CARDS! :) I am wanting to save as much money as I can, so I decided to make the cards myself :) Here are 3 ideas I came up with. Each are unique and could possibly work. Please give me your comments on the good, the bad, and what you think I could possibly change :)

 For this particular one (the one above), on my computer the background is a little darker. I thought the flowers were a nice touch.

 This is the only idea that resembles the theme for the wedding. On my computer, the right color is a dark antique red, rather than a maroon.

On this one, I thought in each envelope, I could also put a photo of Christian and I in it. That way people can frame it, or put on their fridge, or whatever. But it may end up costing more money for printing.
