Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it. I've been busy with school, work and a holiday swap I'm participating in this month. Finals are coming up quick. I managed to finish all the stockings for my family for Christmas. I used my Cricut to make freezer paper stencils for the names. They were pretty easy to make once I figured out exactly how I wanted to do them.

Vanilla

Way back in May I made some vanilla extract. Several months later I have the final product.

It was very difficult to photograph, but you can really see how dark the vodka got. I haven't tried to use it yet, but will very soon.

Here is a link to the tutorial I used: Bethany Actually - make your own vanilla extract
