Pottery and Pirate's Booty!

Last week my sis-in-law and I celebrated our birthdays together by going to paint pottery.  Today was the pick up day...it's always a little nerve-racking because you think about how much money you spent on the item and how much time you put into it and what if it looks like a pre-schooler did it??  But then you remember that you had a wonderful time painting it and it is what it is-yours.  And you will love it no matter what because you put your heart and soul into it...well at least your mom will love it ;)  Anyway, it was all good because when I went into the "pick up" room I saw a bowl and I thought I want that bowl.  Well, guess who's bowl it was??  This girl's.  Aw yeah.  It turned out exactly the way I wanted it.  It is a multi-functional bowl, so right now it's holding some gorgeous juicy apples.  It matches my kitchen along with another piece I made that is a utensil holder.  I'm excited!! 

Another great thing that happened to me today was finding an AMAZING new to me food product from "Pirate's Booty"  The name in itself makes it awesome already.  But what is inside of the clever packaging makes it double awesome.  Yes I know I just time warped back to 5th grade with that saying, but it's gotta be said.  Just hearing the name "Pirate's Booty" doesn't give you much clue as to what the product actually is, which just happens to be my most favorite snack of all time...cheese puffs.  Oh I have missed you cheese puffs and now I can have you because the wonderful inventors of "Pirate's Booty" made it sugar free, preservative free, nut free and DELICIOUS!  Here's a pic.  It's on sale at HyVee for 2/$3!!!!  Can you believe it??  All that crunchy, cheesy goodness for only $1.50!!!  I will most certainly have to go back tomorrow and stock up. 

Well, the house is smelling very cozy right now because I'm baking up some Apple Pineapple Crisp.  Sugar free love in the oven.  The recipe is in my last post. Mmmm...it's ready so I'm off to have some dessert!
