Dessert from my son


Last night while eating dinner my son tells me "I'm not telling what it is but I'm making desert tonight"
Sounds interesting, that's for sure.

So what does he make me?

Mud pies!!  YUM (you're jealous, right?!?)


.... stop drooling on your keyboard! (ha!)


The goofball was "faking" eating it, except he actually put the shovel in his mouth right after this and stuck his gum in it.

I didn't laugh at him at all.... if you believe that one....





A couple weeks back I became the proud owner of a whole bunch of copic markers :-D
I decided on getting a bunch of the trios that match the PTI colors, since I can't seem to use anything that's not PTI lately.  For these copics and I it was LOVE at first WRITE.  (okay terrible joke, I know.  don't hold it against me please)

Anyways, these dahlia's are literally the first things I colored with my copics.  If you have any tips or constructive criticism feel free to leave me a comment.  Thanks.


These use the Pure Poppy and Plum Pudding trios.  If you have any tips for blending that dark purple better, let me know.


These use the Raspberry Fizz and Hawaiian shores trio's.  In my entire stash I couldn't find an appropriate size/shape sentiment so I left them sentiment-less for the time being, I'm sure someday the right thing will come along.

Supplies (all PTI)
Stamps: Delightful Dahlia
Dies: Delightful Dahlia and Large Scallop
Cardstocks:  White, Pure Poppy, Plum Pudding, Hawaiian Shores, Hibiscus Burst and Craft
and the copic trios that PTI sells for Pure Poppy, Plum Pudding, Hawaiian Shores, Hibiscus Burst, Spring Moss and Ripe Avocado
