Highlights from last weeks party

A Ray Of Sunlight shared this gorgeous makeover of this desk. It is chalk painted which I am a big fan of. I love how she left the legs a dark wood colors. This little desk is just stunning.

Do you have scrap fabric laying around in your craft room? I sure so and this is a fabulous way to use up all those random pieces. My French Twist is masterful at weaving all kinds of things together.

This fabric twine is really fun!

Are you hungry? I am just looking at these photos from Flour on my Face. This recipe for easy BBQ Chipolte pulled chicken sliders sound so good!

Perfect for a fall dinner!

Don’t you love a good before and after project? This is one you do not want to miss! Junk is My Life shows the steps on how she created magic to this old bookcase!

You just have to the see the before pics!

Karins Kottage Happenings

My daughter and I have been busy teaching cooking classes to some neighborhood kids. It has been so much fun watching these budding chef’s learn cooking skills! For this class we taught them how to make waffled hash browns, air fryer French toast and Orange Julius drink. They LOVED it!

Breakfast bonanza kids get creative in the kitchen

We had a blast in Park City last week with our family. We did a staycation at Marriott’s Mountainside resort. Right next door there is a fun zone if you will. Mountain roller coaster, Alpine Slide, zip line and lots of other fun things for the kids to do.

Our grandsons were in heaven! We went school shopping at the outlets in Park City. We found them these adorable matching Adida’s outfits. .

They totally wanted to match! Here is a link to my LTK shop

My oldest granddaughter and I rode the roller coaster together and screamed the entire way down haha.
