Santa Arm . . .

Posted on by

Remember this pic? .  . . . . I had seen a pic similar to the one I took below and thought “how can I come up with a Santa arm without buying a Santa suit”?????  I was in Michaels purchasing these items when I saw a wall of Christmas Stockings – it was literally like a light bulb went on!!!

When I saw that red stocking I seriously saw a Santa ARM upside down!!

I took the toe of the stocking and removed the stitches up to the heel.  I already had the gloves.  I used the heel of the stocking for the elbow – slipped it on upside down, added the glove and voila!!

The perfect SANTA ARM!  And yesssss I was pretty tickled with myself!! LOLLLLLL

Thanks ladies for placing an order . . . . Amie Bayless, Judith Lloyd, Sherry Amos, Robin Shearer, Betty Boulet, Pat Miller, Donna Nei & Laura Snead.  

This color is called London Calling . . . love it!  I did these on Saturday.

REMEMBER to re-seal your un-used nail strips.  I just used this lighter and ran it across the edge to re-seal.  If you forget to re-seal, it’s like leaving your nail polish bottle open and they will dry up.  Thanks again ladies!          mycolorstreet.com/julienolte

Little Miss Clara

This little angel face just turned 1 year old at Thanksgiving!  Her mommy is great friends with Amie and they all came up a couple weeks ago.  I could take pictures of this girl all day long! LOL

Too cute! These are LED lights and the light covers are actually plastic – so if you’re taking pics of little kids these are great.  Bought them at Michaels.

This is the same Teepee I used for Jacob’s pictures.  I just changed out the brown fur for some white fur.

I love this pic . . . more on the Santa hand tomorrow!

Just precious!  Thanks Heidi for coming up & letting me practice with your little cutie patootie!

This is little Jacob – he’s 2 months old!  Jacob belongs to Lisa & Brian and they are great friends of Amie’s.

He’s so darn cute – looks like a little man in that sweater!

This one’s my favorite!  He is so strong – that head never bobbled!  Thanks Lisa for coming over and letting me practice with your little sweetie!

ColorStreet – French Manicure

Posted on by
Standard

This is my own wrinkley hand . . . Julie came over yesterday and put the french manicure on me. I could have done it myself but she volunteered!! So duh

This is what the set comes with: All sets come with 2 alcohol swaps and a file – the French Sets come with 2 sets of tips & 2 sets of clear strips.

Ok, first notice Julie’s pretty nails!  Love them! In this pic she already put the french tip on and filed, now she’s layering the clear coat.

One done – 9 more to go!

Ta daaaaaa!!!!! LOVE!!!!!

If you’re interested in these for yourself, I’m hosting a party where Julie will give a demonstration & tips on how to apply them.  She’ll  also have samples for you to try. Just let me know!  If you can’t come or can’t wait (because they’re so fabulous) – my party is already open online – you can place an order and they’ll ship directly to your house – $3 shipping whether you purchase one set or twenty.  Here is the link – when you check out just click on City Girl Farms/Ronda’s Nail Bar . . . http://www.mycolorstreet.com/julienolte

Tuna, Capers & Lemon Alfredo

I don’t have a picture of my casserole, I ate it before I remembered to take a pic! But I wanted to post this today.  It’s getting cold outside and this is such a quick, delicious and simple “go to” comfort dinner to throw together after work!  Mine is a bit different from the pic above but it was too weird to post without anyyyy pic.

 

Ingredients: (Makes enough for about 2-3 people)

1 can tuna (drained)

1 jar Alfredo Sauce (I use the four cheese kind)

Capers – as many as you like (I like a lot)

1/2 lemon

1 1/4 cup dry pasta – your choice (i use mini bow tie or mini penne)

Pine nuts – optional

Boil pasta and drain.  Add as much of the Alfredo Sauce as you like.  Add tuna, squeeze 1/2 fresh lemon juice & add capers.  Stir and warm over low heat.  Serve topped with pine nuts! YUMMMMMM

That’s it!! Enjoy with some sourdough!

This is the original picture I took of Miss Reece and added a slight blur to the background.

This is the same pic but with a “digital background” download I purchased online through Modern Market.co.  I love the sparkle!!

Here is one I took of Miss Ridley.  I blurred the background and added sparkle lights to the Christmas tree.

Here is Miss Ridley with the sparkle background! She’s just too sweet!

 

Here is the Modern Market website . . . . she has some beautiful photography: https://www.modernmarket.co

These are the Greatest! Color Street Nails

Posted on by
Standard

A friend of mine is a consultant for “Color Street”.  These are actual nail polish strips that go on in a minute.  One of the BEST THINGS . . . . I put them on before I went to bed and woke up with NO sheet marks! LOL

Depending on how long your nails are, you could get two nails out of one strip.  A set of solid colors is just $11 . . . they even have french manicures! And you can use them on your toes!   I’ll be hosting a “Nail Bar” Party for her so if you’re interested, let me know.  Here’s Julie’s link: http://www.mycolorstreet.com/julienolte
