So my skirts aren't ready to chronicle yet, but my MARSHMALLOWS ARE!!!
Years ago, when I was working as a school bus driver, one of the aids that rode the bus mentioned that she spent the weekend making marshmallows. I looked at her like she was crazy! She talked about how much work they were, but how cool it was to make something like that from scratch. She said they sell them at fancy department stores for millions of dollars.
Fast forwarding to now, I had to try it. I don't even like eating marshmallows, but somehow I was dazzled by the idea of making my own. I hit the web. After finding a couple crazy marshmallow-making people I finally came across Deb at Smitten Kitchen. Check her out! The photos are amazing and the instructions she found were so easy to follow.
I borrowed a stand mixer from a friend and went to town. They really did turn out just right! She says we can even roast them :0) It is just cold enough her we can finally fire up the fire pit out back and not die of heat exhaustion :0)
One more thing...I just got an email tonight for this FABULOUS project, an advent calendar made from a mini-muffin tin! It is such a great price...I just might order one myself!!!
It is on sale for $20 at Story Tellers Club-Digital Scrapbooking Site, everything included-even the tin! Now, I know that tomorrow is Dec. 1st and by the time it comes in the mail and I finally find time to make it Christmas will be here...but I am tempted anyway!!!
The skirts are coming, I promise! See you soon.
You can always use the advent calendar next year, right? I love that you were a school bus driver. Thanks for the info about marshmallows. My kids are on a special diet, and that is one of the treats they can actually have.
