Tax Time Treats

Every year I bring treats to my accountants office at tax season

Homemade divinity

macadamia fudge

different cakes and candies

Chocolate dipped fruit and berry cups

Tarts

Cupcakes and more. When we lived in Utah Valley I would do it several times a season, but this year they only got it once, but it was the office favorite; Chocolate  Berry cups which are dark chocolate cups filled with raspberries and blue berries then covered with more chocolate. It has been fun just to do something for them as Tax season requires such long hours and they are generally very nice people there.

Trees for the Festival

As it is almost the end of January, I felt that I should get myself in gear and finish my 2017 Christmas posts.

This tree required a 7x9 foot area and the other required a 9 by 14 foot area. Next I put the trees bag where I wanted to put the tree up in each space. Then I got my ornaments gathered. Next was assembling the trees and checking to make sure the lights worked, as they are always new trees, so far I have not had a problem with lights.

Glass Blowing

First our instructor had us get to know the equipment we would be using for projects. These pictures are all of the first thing we did, which was a paper weight  Then the instructor got the beginning blob of molten glass from a special furnace with nothing but melted clear glass in ti. Then after he showed me how to heat it in an other oven, he let me try it my self. You always had to keep the pipe level and turn it. The glass looked a little like red taffy. If you were turning to slow it started to sag down and then you had to turn it until that piece leveled back out.  When it was molten enough we brought it over to these scoops filled with tiny glass pieces that looked like glitter. you pressed the hot glass into these glass pieces turning it so that they ...

Anime Expo Day Two

Well, Day Two has finished in the Artist Alley. It was a little slow starting in the morning, but by the end of the day I was at about the same total as yesterday. Almost have paid for my booth. I am enjoying the artist alley and the people around my area. Most of the people are very nice and willing to visit. This makes it very fun. The next couple of photo's are of some of the costumes I say as I was leaving the convention tonight. They were filming some of the best costumes for commercials I guess. It was just fun to see. I am plaaning on coming back next year again. We
