DUCT TAPE PURSE/BAG

 

I was in need of a more stylish bag to carry my PTA paperwork.  In the past, I've made flower pens, bracelets and even a woven wallet.  However, I hadn't tried making a purse until now.  I was feeling a little creative last night so I picked up some duct tape and this is what I came up with.
 
I recently saw a purse one of my young daughter's friends made out of duct tape.  At the moment, my mind just started running wild with my own ideas.  Thank you Lauren for inspiring me to make my own!  I can't wait to make another one.
 
I have added pictures below with different views of the purse.  The purse is completely made with duct tape except for a few embellishments I used in the front.

No Bake Icebox Cake

I found a recipe on Pinterest via "The Kitchen" and knew I had to try it.  This was my result.

 I took heavy whipping cream and added 1 tsp of vanilla and about 1/3 of confectioners sugar to make whipped cream.  I layed a layer of whip cream on the bottom of my glass pan then layed out graham crackers.  Put another layer of whipped cream, strawberries.  Since the kids and I like Rasberries we added them, too.  Repeat this to make it 3 layers.  Drizzle some chocolate topping on top.  Refrigerate for about 3 hours to soften the crackers and enjoy!
