Crayon Art!


{Look what I made!}

To make it I used:
64 pack of crayons (I just picked out all the white, black, grays and browns)
24 pack of crayons (to double up on the prettier colors)
16x20 canvas
Hot Glue gun
Blow dryer

I just glued the crayons to the canvas, but I made sure to have the label on the crayons out because I thought that made it look cuter lol. 

Then, I angled the canvas probably at a 15 degree angle.  DEFINITELY lay a towel underneath!  And behind if you can as well!  It took me a bit to get the right angle and distance between the crayons and blowdryer.  I learned to melt the bottoms of the crayons first, then angle the blowdryer upward.  If you keep it downward it just blows the melted crayon everywhere.  The melting takes time but the results are so much fun! 

And that's all there is to it!!

Blazing Hot Wing Sauce... Yes Please!

My husband and our friend Paul decided to try and cook dinner out of a cookbook I recently got Bo for his birthday, called The Beer Lover's Cookbook. I found it at Spencer's Gifts in case you are interested. We weren't really sure what to think, but it turned out awesome! So here it is... Enjoy!

1 packet Good Seasons Italian Dressing (powder)
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
2 cups Frank's Red Hot Cayenne Pepper Sauce
6 tablespoons beer

If preparing with chicken wings:

In a bowl, combine all of the ingredients, mexing well. The sauce is ready to serve, either over chicken wings or as a dipping sauce for chicken tenders.

To prepare sauce with chicken wings: In a pot, boil the 1 to 2 dozen wings until they float. Place the chicken wings into a baking dish. Pour the Blazing Hot Wing Sauce over the wings. Bake the wings at 350 degress for 45 minutes or until desired crispiness.

This was so good! I should've taken a picture of the end results. I was so proud of them!  And, if you're interested in the cookbook, you can just click the link and get a great deal on Amazon!
