Tour of Springs
Eureka Springs is an interesting town. I spent time today touring the springs and thought I'd just share some of the beauty...

In Honor of Game Day
To be truly transparent, I intended to share with you my game-time lunch humbly titled 'Wings, Rings, and Rolls'. Unfortunately, the oven in my apartment has a mind of its own (no, it really does) and it decided to burn all the wings and half of the onion rings...SO, instead, I'll post a sports team-themed craft I have done. Woo, Pig Sooie!
Since I made this earlier I don't have step by step photos. But it is so easy to do, it'll be easy to walk through the process:
Needed:
Unfinished wood frame
Craft paint- white, red, and black
Spray Polyurethane
Round Sponge Brush
Paint brush- small for details
- Paint the frame white- let dry
- Use red paint and round sponge brush to 'dab' red polka dots randomly around frame- front and back. Be sure to leave space at top for team mascot or emblem and space below photo, if you wish to write anything.
- Using your detail paint brush, paint team mascot or emblem at the top of the frame and use the same brush to include a cute message if you wish. Let dry.
- Spray with poly to seal the frame

Autumn Spice Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
I love crisp autumn days! I open up my windows, turn on the oven and...Bake!
I enjoy opening up the windows to let in the crisp fall air and turning on my oven. This calls for something with cinnamon, nutmeg, or pumpkin...ah, spice cake with cream cheese frosting!
I start with my favorite spice cake recipe. But this time, instead of a bundt pan, I use a muffin pan.
SPICE CAKE
1 Yellow Cake Mix (extra moist)
1 Lg Pkg of instant vanilla pudding
4 eggs
1 heaping tablespoon of nutmeg
3/4 cup oil
3/4 cut White Wine Chablis
Combine everything in a large mixing bowl. Mix for FIVE minutes (yes, five) on medium to medium high speed.
Bake at 350 for 50 minutes.
Now, I will admit that today I used canned cream cheese icing. I used an open star tip and piped each cupcake after they had cooled completely. I topped with candy corn.
