NO BAKE CHEESECAKE! WOOT!

 

 

My first time making Chocolate Cheesecake! And it was a success! If you'd like to make this cheesecake here are the ingredients needed:

First you need to make the crust. You can choose to either buy crust at the store or make your own. I made my own it just tastes better to me.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups of (Chocolate) graham cracker crust (Or Oreo like brand cookies could work too)
• 1/4 cup of sugar
• 1/3 cup of melted butter

 

 

 

 

Crush up graham crackers into small small bits... as you can tell I did not use a food processor because I didn't have one lol so instead a potato masher ad to take its place! It worked!

 Measure out sugar!

I poured the sugar and the crushed graham crackers in together then poured the melted butter on top. Used my hands to mix it all together then with a spoon I smoothed the crust evenly.

 

Then just stick it in the fridge and let it chill while your making the Cheesecake or any other kind of pie/cake thing.

Ingredients for the Chocolate Cheesecake:

1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup granulated sugar

11 ounces cream cheese

1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened

2 cups frozen whipped topping, thawed

1 graham cracker crust, purchased or homemade

more whipped topping or whipped cream for topping

shaved milk chocolate, optional ( for topping)

Here are the instructions in advance just to prepare a lot easier!

Melt chocolate chips over low heat in saucepan or microwave, stirring frequently until smooth and melted. Set aside to cool. In large mixer bowl beat cream cheese, sugar and butter until smooth. On low speed blend in the melted chocolate. Fold in whipped topping until blended. Spoon cheese chocolate filling mixture into prepared graham cracker crust. Cover and chill until firm. Garnish with whipped topping and shaved chocolate, if desired.



Measure and Melt the chocolate!



 Mix the sugar and Better together!

 Pour it in a bowl with the cream cheese and whip it up until smooth.

 Add in the melted chocolate chips a little at a time.

 Add in the cool whip one cup at a time!

 Mix...MIX....Mix some more!

 And that part is Done!

 Pour the mix into the now... chilled crust... with the spatula and spread evenly

I decided to decorate my Cheesecake with crushed up semi-sweet chocolate chips... you can also add some whip topping as well! And don't forget the Cherry on top!

Hope this was helpful and delicious as it was for us!

Easter Outfits for Mama & Baby

 I decided to make Easter outfits for my 10 month son and for myself.  It surprisingly wasn't too hard to do.  With my dress I picked out a cute tank top and a couple fabrics that matched.  It was a time consuming project but very fun.  The colors were very vibrant and I made sure that the tank top and top of the skirt met at the smallest part of my waist.  Hemming took the longest but it was worth the work. 

 As you may or may not see I sewed a shear yellow fabric under the floral to give it a layered look.  Boy does this dress twirl pretty!

 Overall the dress fits great and I can see myself making a lot more of these in the future!

 As for Kyle's onsie I had a lot of fun creating this.  The bowtie was pretty simple and straight forward.  I used clip buttons so the bow tie could be taken on and off. The suspenders were a little difficult and I realize now that in the future it would've been easter to just buy ribbon and is that instead.

 In the back I had the "Straps" cross for a cute detail.

Overall this came out great.  I put buttons for a cute look and let me tell you it sure did look cute on him!

Tea Time

FUN FACT#12: There are a few times in ones life that we get to be a part of something very special and I’d say this is definitely one of them. I had the opportunity to be apart of an annual Spring Tea Party for many years. This was not just some ordinary Tea Party....no this was much more. It was a special outreach event to the Sanger Community from the Sierra View Community Church. The winner of the Mother Of The Year was usually announced during this event and the award wa...s presented by Local News Anchor Personality along with The State Representative of California.

My contribution or donation to this event was to design clever program covers, tickets, recipe cards, and really anything that Jill Delano needed. These paintings was created for the Spring Tea Party of 2008. It was used as artwork for the program cover which was shaped like a tea pot, a tea bag label, recipe cards, official tickets and other fun things. I donated the original paintings to Sierra View Community Church’s auction.

Since I’ve created these paintings, many others around this great world of ours, have been able to enjoy them too. Thanks to manufacturers like Howard Keys, You Stuff It Boxes, LLC, and Marketing Development Group.

Baby Kyle's Customized Room by Grandma

 Being a Crafty Mama and all... it was only natural for me to want to plan and decorate my daughter's first child's nursery.  Since the gender of the baby was going to be a surprise, I had to be creative with what colors I used.  My daughter told me that her theme was more or less baby wildlife animals and the colors were more gender neutral.  

My inspiration piece for the whole nursery.  I painted it for my Grand Baby to help him with his alphabets. 

 

 A  great place for Mama and Daddy to rock Baby to sleep and bond together.  The pictures hung on the wall are just leftover fabric I used for the bed bumper and decided to make it into inexpensive wall art.  The laundry basket was handmade by my son and I painted and decorated with round price tags....yes price tags..lol and I made the laundry bag with coordinating fabrics. 

 These are newborn socks slightly rolled and attached at the bottom with floral wire and the wire is wrapped with floral tape, it really looks like white roses.  A creative idea inspired by one of my daughter-in laws!

 

 A rug I found online that fit the room perfectly! 

 

 Bumper and quilt made by myself and by my mother-in-law.

 Baby's corner! The half rounded window over the crib is made with 1/4" plywood and to get a the half round shape i used a pencil attached it to a string. Determine the width and the height of your project and mark with a pencil on 1/4" plywood. Find the center of the window shape on the bottom of the window, then mark with a cork board tack...the tall ones. Then wrap one end of the string to the tack and the other to the pencil. Stretch the string out to the height of your project and then while holding the string taut begin drawing arch. Then if you are handy with power tools, use a jigsaw to cut out the shape, or ask your husband like I did. Then paint it !!! The flying bugs on the wall , and the panda bear were also made from 1/4" plywood cut outs, painted, and attached to the wall with mirror hanger clips. Using the mirror hanger clips is a great idea because you don't have to drill holes in your project. My daughter and her husband lived in an apartment and couldn't paint the walls so I had to get creative with the wall art.

 Something my Daughter-in law made for my Daughter.  A diaper cake! In the middle of the diaper cake on the second tier she put baby powder, bottles, and a small bottle of lotion...such a great idea.

A growth chart that I custom made for Baby Kyle =)

All this was a surprise for them and they and my New Grandson Loved it!

Little Girl's Secret Garden Bedroom

Every Secret Garden needs a secret enterance!  Jenny Newland used regular interior paints from hardware stores in pint sizes and got mostly primary colors.  All that you see was painted freehand.

 In the corner where the tree is that's where the little girl's bed was.  We put it there so when she laying in bed she could look up and see all the little birdies!

 The little girl loved story time with her Mom and Dad so we purposly put different images on seperate walls so they could use each image for story time.

Jenny used ply wood to cut out cloud shapes and used cotton and stapled it on the back... then used white pillow cases to shape the clouds with.  She also used sheared fabrics and sewed and hemed them together to create the rainbow. 

Underneith the window shows a cute scene of a bunny hopping through the little garden as well.

Overall this was a fun project to try.  It took me 2 weeks to finish this project.  It was worth it when we saw the little girl's face.  She had a great birthday present!
