Craft day

Today has been an awesome day...crafting with my sister!  We had a blast. More pics to come!!  The pumpkin blocks were super easy to make. 4x4's, orange paint, raffia, leaves!  I didnt have to buy anything!  I used the scraps i had lying around!

Aunt Jane's chicken wontons

When we go to visit my Aunt Jane she always makes chicken won tons.  They are delicious.  I always thought they were difficult to make but they are not.  I decided a few weeks ago I would try to make them.  They are so easy to make and I am now addicted to them.  I have made them at least once a week since I started!  Each time we seem to make more and more.  This past week we made 120.  Enjoy making them!

Aunt Jane's Chicken Won Tons

1 8oz cream cheese (softened)

1/4 tsp vanilla

1 egg

4 chopped chives

1/2 tsp garlic powder

3 cooked chicken breasts (shredded)

1 tsp soy sauce

1 pkg won ton wrappers

Shred the cooked chicken.  Mix all ingredients together except the wrappers.  Put a small amt of the chicken mixture in the middle of each wrapper.  Moisten the edge.  Fold over into a triangle and seal tight.  Put the two points together and seal.  It will look like a crown.  Deep fry until golden brown.  (I don't have a deep fryer I just use a pot and vegetable oil.  Buy sweet and sour duck sauce for dipping.  The wrappers can be found in the produce section.  I found mine at Walmart.  They are very inexpensive.  1 pkg is approx 3 dollars and it makes 52 wontons.  One recipe yields appox 1 pkg of wrappers.

Spice it up!!!

Today is crafting wednesday!!  I decided to finally spice up some plain dollar store buckets.  I was at dollar tree and found these perfect stickers to spice up the buckets!! These buckets would be perfect for toys or for a gift!  The finbal cost was 2 dollars a bucket with leftover stickers!!

I wish it was Fall

It is so hot today I wish it was a nice cool fall day!! Fall time is the best time of year and I just love decorating for Fall. Today I am posting a glassblock scarecrow I made last year. You can buy the glass block at your local craft store, lowes, or I bought mine at a local glass block store. You need raffia for the hair, a hot glue gun, a piece of burlap for the bottom, and a cowboy hat. I used vinyl for the face. You could paint a face on but I'm not good at painting. It is a little dangerous glueing on the raffia so maybe wear gloves! Most glass blocks have a hole in the bottom so you could fill it with candy corn.  It was pretty easy to make and looks really nice!
