Loving my March Brit Kit

For the past three months, January, February, and March I have subscribed to Brit+Co Brit Kits and have LOVED them!  In January, it was two crafts of all the materials needed to construct a hex bracelet and a hex necklace.  For the second craft it was a plain white card, red thread, and needles to make a stitched heart card.

Last month, for February, the kit contained Polka Dot Popcorn Party, and let me tell you, IT WAS A BLAST!  Each month I look forward to my kit because it is filled with two crafts that are, not only fun, but also useful.

Here's a few pictures of the February Brit Kit we did at our house.

The first craft was for polka dot popcorn.  It contained white chocolate candy melts, sprinkles, red hots, edible gold stars, and of course, the popcorn.  It was a blast to make and only took 5 minutes.  

Aren't those edible gold stars the neatest!?  Skylar loved them!  I think they would look so pretty on plain white sugar cookies too.

The second craft was cloth napkins and paper sacks to make polka dots to go with the popcorn.  The kit contained the gold paint, pencil, napkins, and the black paper sacks needed to make this craft.  It was so much fun, I couldn't stop!  

In the March kit came all the tools need to create a stylish scarf to wear for spring.

It came with a scarf, Dye-Na-Flow Fabric Dye, Tumble Dye Spray Dye, and a Foam Brush.

I did random shapes and designs on the scarf with the pink paint using the foam brush......

Then hung and sprayed the fabric around the pink shapes with the Tumble Dye.

Then ran it on low heat in my drier for 20 minutes.  How awesome is that?

These kits are such fun and come with different DIY projects each month.  Now I have the privilege to hold a DIY party each month with the Brit Kits sponsored by Brit+Co.  The DIY parties start mid-April and allow for a great experience to learn different techniques with DIY crafts.  

You can get your own Brit Kits in your mail for just $19.99 a month!

Look for pictures from the DIY parties to come around the end of April!

Papa Murphy's Mini Murph

Here in the Willamette Valley we have the best kept secret around......or so I thought.  I have recently learned that there is Papa Murphy's moving into the southern part of the US now.  I am actually pretty happy about that due to how addicting their pizza is.  

Papa Murphy's is one of the best tasting pizzas due to their fresh ingredients and being able to take home the pizza and bake it in your own oven.  We get pizza almost every Friday nights and this past Friday we did our normal routine and were introduced to a "kid-sized" pizza called a Mini Murph.

The Mini Murph is a small, single-sized pizza, just like the large, but in a petite size that is suited for kids.  They get all the toppings, sauces, and even a small Papa Murphy's tattoo.  

Of course, after seeing this, we just had to get it.  They are priced at $5 each and after we gave it a shot, these little pizzas would be so fun for kid's parties or play dates.

We started by unwrapping the dough and pressing it into the bottom of the baking dish that was provided with the kit.

Then covered it in the pizza sauce.

Added cheese......

Added pepperonis......

Topped it with the remaining cheese......

Ate a few pieces.....

Wrapped it up as if it was coming from Papa Murphy's while the oven heated up.

Baked it.....

Then ate it!  And applied the pizza chef tattoo.

Eco-Tip:  If you drive a good distance to and from work, school, or town look into carpooling with others that are headed in the same direction.  Carpooling can help cut down on the carbon emissions given off by multiple cars on the road.  For this and other tips on going green visit, The Earth and Me Go Green.
