bookmarks

Sometime, (I am really losing track lately) we made cool bookmarks using a technique of painting where you put a really thick coat of paint on something and then run a "comb" made of cut cardboard through it to add texture.

 When will they dry?

Stenciling... Here you can sort of see what I said about 

"combing" with cardboard if you look at the green part.

all the bookmarks (for sure almost all)

I made this one using a "paint marker"

One of Evan's, Mom also got out some 

stickers which he used here. 

Another bookmark I made. Yes, the 

red swirls are hand painted by me.

And my RANDOM BOOKMARK! oh yeah!

Evan's yellow& green Angry Birds!

Bye for now, Ben.

Chocolate cake

SOMETIME (the exact day we did it doesn't really matter, right?) we made chocolate "whoopie pie" cake (recipe from here). It was REALLY good!

Frosting... it may seem unlikely, but I don't think

the frosting is the best part of it...

The center "whoopie pie" layer is!!

YUM! Bye for now from the person 

in the above picture. 

From Mom:  hmmmm.... did you notice how there aren't really any photos of the whole cake?  That would be because the top layer fell apart entirely when Grandma Pete & I tried to place it on top fo the filling!  It still tasted delicious, though!  We also made half vanilla filling & half peanut butter, by mixing the leftover pb cream from our sandwich cookies into the regular filling.  Both halves were delish!  Here are a couple more photos:
