Did you say "s'moreffles?"

I am so torn. I am really looking forward to the crazy snow/ice storm that's supposed to come to Minnesota this weekend because I just love to be safe and dry and warm inside the cabin. I just cannot bring myself to get too excited about it because I am scared to death that I will get trapped up north with my fear of getting on the roads. I do not want to miss work, but I do have the option to telework... hmm... I think I should maybe just trust in the Lord and be patient. If I am going to be worried all weekend, then I will be miserable and a lame girlfriend.

So, to change the subject, I just have to talk about what gets me happy. One of those things is finding fun items that are crazy but just might be possible with my limited cooking and crafting abilities.

Exhibit A:

S'moreffles.

Go ahead. Click the link to find out how you, too, can make this gooey goodness. If Bryant and I weren't trying to be healthier, I would go home RIGHT NOW and make these. But, in the spirit of trying to live a let's-lower-our-LDL-levels-lifestyle, I'll brood over the recipe for at least a day or two (or until I think of a more clever alliteration for a way of life that overlooks eating seasonal sweets that are made using a waffle iron). Genius.

Exhibit B:

Polymer Gift Tags.

Oh, how adorable are you? I will tell you, because you are probably too modest to admit it. You, my little scupley friend, are super adorable. I am a big fan because, not only do I love Valentine's Day, but you're attainable. Oh, if only you had cheeks that I might pinch.

Check out the materials:

(okay, so it looks a little overwhelming) BUT I already have two of these things! the polymer clay and the rolling pin. For being a dunce at crafts, this is a great start. All this would take is a trip to Blick and a free Saturday.

Alright, there is a little inspiration for you. Enjoy the nasty weather--I recommend a blanket and a teddy bear boyfriend... along with a waffle iron for those s'moreffle cravings.
