Ideas For You
I used the Girls Makeup Party Cartridge to create a sleep mask. I cut card stock shapes on the Cricut and used those as templates to cut out the felt pieces. I layered them and sewed them together in a random stitched pattern. I then made T-Shirt yarn, threaded it through holes that I punched on the sides. I wound the yarn on the top to make rosettes and glued them down. Sassy eyelashes – sound to sleep!

I picked up these cute zebra print ballet flats at Old Navy knowing I hated the bows on the toes and that I would cut them off the minute I got home. I did just that and then took black T-Shirt Yarn and created 2 inch rosettes to replace the juvenile bows. Now I am just in love with these little numbers.

True Food at the Biltmore and Scottsdale Quarter is a local favorite for fresh and healthy food. One of the treats on the menu is a drink called The Natural. It is a fresh ginger and agave syrup soda. So I thought why not try to make it at home? It is really simple and absolutely delicious. It is also a great stomach settler.
Here is the Recipe:
Ingredients:
Syrup
½ cup Agave Nectar
1 (3-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and finally chopped
1 cup Sparkling Water
Ginger Soda (pitcher)
½ Cup Ginger Syrup
3 Cups Sparkling Water
Ice Cubs
Directions:
- To make the syrup first peel the ginger
- Next grate the ginger on a cheese grater
- Measure out the Agave nectar (1/2 cup)
- Measure out the Sparkling Water(1 cup)
- Place the agave nectar, ginger, and sparkling water in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to simmer, cover and cook until your house fills with a strong smell of ginger, about 1 hour. Let cool. NOTE: you can refrigerate this mixture for up to 1 week
- To make the soda: By the pitcher, combine ½ cup syrup with the soda water. By the glass, combine 2 teaspoons of the syrup with soda water
- Pour over ice and serve cold
