Day 13

So this 365 thing.. My idea? Ha.. It's not that it's going badly. It's going too well! Every day I have too many photos to choose from! Here's a few that didn't make the cut just from yesterday. Go here or here to see the ones that did and check back later for today's photos :)

Project 365(s)

Happy New Year!

Photo-A-Day prompts got too messy so this year I've decided to go with Project 365 - one photo a day, every day of the year. Then I figured because most of those would be of Bailey I should do one for him and one for my non-Bailey photos! So..

(365) Days of Lauren

Baubles!

I have so many bauble photos that I decided they needed their own post.. Sad, I know, but as they say, small things amuse small minds :)

It looks like he's helping but actually he was flinging the baubles at me while I was trying to take photos.

The last one is my favourite. And the second one. And the rest of them. I love baubles.

Christmas!

Christmas Crack

This has been one of my favourite (and most popular) Christmas recipes since I saw this post by Bakerella three years ago.

I'm a bit of a Christmas Crack purest (and I wasn't sure I had the right equivalent ingredients the first time) so these are the only things I usually use. Plus some baking paper.

Ingredients:

Pretzels

White Chcolate Melts

M&Ms

Anything else you like - cereal, nuts, marshmallows, gummy bears (tried this once, it had a mixed reception)

Method:

Cover your bench in baking paper. Chuck the pretzels in a large bowl. Liquify 1/2 to 3/4 of the Melts in the microwave. They melt quick so 10-20 seconds at a time, mixing in between is usually enough. I made these on a crazy hot day on the weekend so they only needed 25 seconds all up, the Melts were already melting in the bag!

Mix the liquified Melts in with the pretzels and throw in a handful or two of M&Ms. I usually use normal ones but I tried mini ones this time and I'm converted. The candy shells are a lot thinner so they're easier to chew and the smaller chocolate doesn't overpower the pretzels if too many end up in a cluster. Spread the mix out on the baking paper, wait for it to dry, pop them in a bowl and you're done.

Usually they dry in a few minutes but because it was so hot they took ages and I ran out of light to take pictures of them in a bowl.

They still look good though. Yum!

Karotz

My Karotz was faulty so ThinkGeek sent me a replacement!

He works! He was off when I took the photo though. I haven't found too much of a use for him yet. There's supposed to be heaps of apps but there's really not :/

So now I have two..

They told me I could just throw out the faulty one but he makes such a cute headset holder.

Bear!

I've spent the last few days lying around sick and I adore my new bear so yeah.

 

He was a window prop at Peter Alexander at Carindale.

 

He's too big to hang out in the bed at night (sad face) but he gets to hang out on the bed during the day.

 

Although he scares the stuffing out of the other toys.. "Holy crap, a giant bear!"
