Our First Tutorial- Creeper Rainbow Loom

If you have kids in your house like I do, I am sure you know that these Rainbow Loom rubber band bracelets are all the rage! Crazy Gabs was so eager to make bracelets she started by using her fingers and her fathers meat thermometer fork. Luckily her favorite Uncle J came to the rescue with the Loom and bands galore! 

I searched Pinterest for a Minecraft Creeper bracelet, so she could make one for her brother. Who is slightly obsessed with the game. I couldn't find one. :(

After looking at one of Gabs's bracelets, a triple single, I realized we could make that look like a couple of creeper faces! I was sooooooo excited about my plan I set Gabs straight to work! 

Gabs wanted to try her hand at making a video tutorial, after successfully making the bracelet. We filmed it without a script or practice. I think she did an amazing job, for her first time! 

If you use our tutorial and make a Creeper, send us a photo. We would love to see them!

Happy National Dessert Day

Who knew there was a day to celebrate one of my favorite things... DESSERT! One of our favorite desserts is apple crisp. It took awhile to find the perfect recipe. We tried ones from just about every family member, and in the end the one we liked the most came from a bag of apples. Sorry, I don't have a picture of the yummy dessert. It rarely lasts long enough to be photographed.
