Faux Foodie- Eton Mess

Since life is strange right now, I have nothing relevant to post right now... so instead a re-post/edit of one of my favorite desserts

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

ETON MESS

Eton mess is a type of dessert that I have seen around the internet many times and thought: Yum!

I looked at a number of different recipes and adapted them for this experiment. Luckily I had my mom to assist in this culinary venture.

First, the day before we planned to make the actually dessert, I made a batch of meringues.

(2018 note- I have gotten so much better at making meringue cookies, these look sad in comparison)

They do not look perfect but they taste great and anyway they get crumbled.

I used the same recipe that I made for the Les Miserables meringue cookies for the Tony awards. I just didn't use a bag to form them, I just plopped them onto a baking sheet with a spoon. I used this recipe.

Homemade whipping cream

This is my mom's specialty. It is basically heavy whipping cream, sugar and vanilla whipped together for what seems like ages. She doesn't even need to measure the ingredients which makes it difficult to share her recipe.

The recipes I read online for Eton Mess kept calling for double cream. I have never seen double cream in any store around here so heavy whipping cream seemed like a good substitute. Plus we use the homemade vanilla that we started a few years ago. Its a bottle of Vodka and split vanilla beans that sat in the dark and was shaken once a day for a few months until it became the best vanilla ever.

The other ingredient for Eton Mess is strawberries. Most recipes called for these strawberries to have sugar added and let sit until they became a sugary syrup. Some recipes said to smash the fresh strawberries.

We just bought a container of frozen strawberries already in sugar and called it good. We only had a few hours that she could hang at my house that day so some skimping was required.

Gathering all the ingredients together we started layering them in our glasses. A layer of crumbled meringue, some whipping cream, strawberries and repeat. 

The verdict: Delicious

 I do not know if this would be considered authentic Eton Mess. Regardless they came out so good. 

Tony Awards 2018 Cookies and Cocktails

This will be a brief post, but I managed to make some Tony Awards cookies and cocktails this year.

Last year life got in the way, but since 2014 I have made something for the Tonys.

I will link to the past Tony Food posts at the end of this post.

Unfortunately, as I was making the frosting for these cookies, the hand-mixer broke. So the Frosting isn't the right consistency and looks a bit wonky.

Well honestly, they just look wonky this year, but I tried. 

I went with My Fair Lady, Mean Girls, Spongebob Squarepants, and Carousel for the cookies.

The cocktail on the left is Pink Panties (Re-titled Wednesdays We Wear Pink) for Mean Girls

The right one is Polyjuice Potion for Harry Potter: The Cursed Child

A Night out in T-Town to see Depeche Mode

I was very lucky and my former boss managed to score me a pair of tickets to see Depeche Mode at the Tulsa BOK center. So of course I made it a full night out with one of my best friends, SCB. 

We started the evening with dinner at Joe Momma's. I went to the old Joe Momma's years ago before the fire. This is the new version that just opened this year I think. I was a fool though, I ordered a Buffalo Chicken pizza. I like buffalo chicken wings, but I always go with the mildest sauce. This pizza was not mild. I also had my first ever cider drink...two actually because the pizza was so spicy that I downed them both. 

Apparently cider is stronger than beer, which I only found out after I was a bit drunk. After eating and my drinking we walked to the BOK center and stopped by MixCo to grab one last pre-show drink.

The drink was called "Basic Bitch," basic bitch pics were taken.

The only other time I have been to the BOK center was for a MUSE concert a few years ago. The 2nd Law tour. MUSE is the best live band I have ever seen and I have been lucky to see them twice now.

Onto Depeche Mode. 

I know a few Depeche Mode songs. The big radio hits. But this band has been around for decades so I really wanted to see them. While I may not have known that many of the songs they played, it was a good show. The front man, Dave Gahan, is mesmerizing. His dancing and on stage persona is like Mick Jagger, but without the smugness and duck lip strutting. 

I did manage to film the first song of their set. Not the greatest video, as we were seated to the side, but you can still see his dance moves. 

Some times I get to go out and do things with people I care about and have fun with and I realize that I am pretty lucky. Yes there is some crap in my life, but wandering through the streets of Tulsa with one of my best friends after a show and the full moon above us, things just seem good.

Friends, Pie, and Swords

Friends are few and far between....

It has felt like that for so many months. Yet, in the last few weeks, when I needed friends the most, they appear.

People I have known most of my life start texting and messaging me. Anything from random conversations, memes, to wise words. People who I have only met a few times have sent me messages of encouragement or invitations to come out and play. And the friends who I love best have just been there.

This weekend has especially been fun and I really needed to get out of my head.

Pie, Mayfest, Blue Dome, and more Food

Tulsa's Art Deco is beautiful

I have lived less than half an hour from downtown Tulsa my entire life and I have never made it to Mayfest and the Blue Dome festival.

Finally this has been accomplished.

I met up with one of my best friends, S.C.B. (Not going to put her real name here just in case), for pie night at Antoinette's in the Brady Arts district. This has become a thing for us. Pie and talking about the craziness of our lives.

I wish I had pics of the pies. The Mile High Chocolate pie is AMAZING. I need to go to their cake night sometime soon. This place is a must for dessert lovers.

Then we wandered through Mayfest and the Blue Dome festival. At one point we walked away from each other and took some "pretentious selfies" near an art installation. Once we realized we had both done the exact same thing, it just reaffirmed my love for this girl. Sometimes you just have to have fun and be a basic bitch. Although I came to the conclusion that we need one of those arty friends that always take cool pictures of their friends.    

We ended our outing at this restaurant in the Brady Distinct called Lotus. A mutual friend of ours has been raving about it on social media and the food always looks so good. Gotta say the Drop sandwich was worth the hype. I'm not a big eater when I go out, but I scarfed that down! 

So of course I had to text our friend to agree with her on her reviews. 

Which led to Saturday's adventure...

Stage Combat Workshop

Our friend managed to talk me into attending this Stage Combat workshop at Woodward Park. It was an all day event and I thought I had cleared my schedule only to learn at the lunch break I had to leave. Probably for the best in retrospect since I am still in pain. 

Also Oklahoma weather is insane. We started at 8 AM. It was either brutally hot or raining. 

Nothing like hearing thunder when you are standing in the middle of a park holding a sword. Essentially, a group of moving lightning rods.

It was intense but fun. I mean, I got to play with a sword!

Let me just take a moment to brag about the theatre company that put this workshop together.

Theatre Pops (click the link to go to their page) is a local community theatre group that I have had the privilege to work with both as an actor and as stage crew. I have seen many of their shows as well.

This is a company that is bringing innovation to Tulsa's theatre scene. They do not shy away from different types of plays, yet they don't do it just to push boundaries. They also try to offer opportunities like this workshop for the actors of Tulsa. 

Keep an eye out for Theatre Pops productions. This is a company that loves theatre and you can see the passion of the cast and crew on stage.

Oh and I graduated from OU! 

I have mentioned this in my last post, but I got this package sent to me with graduation things. Getting the degree holder and seeing my name in the program finally makes it feel real.

It has been a tough two years. And I am struggling to figure out my next steps while also repairing other things that I screwed up along the way.

But at this moment, with the support of those few wonderful people who are in my life, I am optimistic.

Mostly.

Cusp of Change

For the past two years, I have been in college mode. Now it is over. What do I do? 

I haven't written a blog post in over a year. Right now I am debating if I want to star this again. Most of the bloggers and readers I knew before have gone on to do their own things as well. So do I pick up where I left off, do I re-brand and start over, or do I just let this die a natural online death?

At this moment I am going to use it.

This blog was always a way of taking my focus from the mundane or the general crap of my life. 

Today I will use it to clear my mind.

I have finished school (at least unless I eventually decide to get a Masters).

Two years of non-stop work. So many essays, peer-reviewed articles, video lectures... and now it is over. 

And it is bloody anticlimactic.

I don't know what I was expecting. I didn't go to graduation and maybe that is a part of this feeling of discontent.

But I just feel let down and lost.

There is also the feeling of fear and dread coursing through my veins. I have some major life decisions I will have to make soon. I am on the cusp of change and I hate it.

Some people would look at this as an adventure or the natural progression of life.

These people are not fuck-ups like me.

Really, I cannot think of one major life decision that I have made that did not impact me negatively. My track record is bad...very bad.

Yet, choices will have to be made. My only hope is that once I realize how badly I mess up, I'll be able to fix things to a tolerable level. 

And now for this blog.

I loved that I used this blog as a reason to bake or cook interesting things. I like that it gave me a place to discuss books, TV, and films.

So perhaps until I know for certain what I want to do (revamp it maybe, or start over), I'll try posting again once a week.

Everyone needs a creative outlet 

Should I Stay or Should I Go?

My classes for the Springs semester start next week. I am taking 3 classes per 8 weeks, more than full time. Which brings up the question, should I stay or should I go?

I could once again put this blog on hiatus, only posting when there is something really worth writing about and when I have the time. The alternative is just to walk away from the blog indefinitely.

I started this blog almost three years ago when I needed an outlook to try and create something positive in my life. Through this blog I discovered the Iggles (The International Geek Girls Pen Pals) and other delightful geek girl bloggers. I am grateful to these wonderful people who helped me get through a rough patch in my life. Internet friends are the best.

But right now I am I am facing a fork in the road, so to speak. I do not really have as much time to focus on making this blog fun and interesting. I haven't been as active in the blogsphere with other bloggers like I used to be. Also my on again off again hiatuses have made it so that many of the people who used to read this blog are no longer there. 

There are many reasons to just end this. I ask myself "why am I still trying to keep up with this silly little blog?". If I want to blog again in the future I could always wait until I have the time and the resources and just re-brand myself. Yet that feels like giving up on something I have worked on for a few years. Leaving behind something that was so helpful to me when everything else in my life was going wrong. 

The question is still there, should I stay or should I go?

I am not sure what the long-term future of this blog will be. For the time being I am just going on hiatus again with possible posts here and there.

Netflix Picks- January 2017

I haven't made a Netflix Picks post in awhile.

As always, the following picks are on Netflix USA as I am writing this. I have no clue how long they will be available.

Sense8 Christmas Special

I have mentioned my love for this character driven realistic sci-fi show before. Last month they released a Christmas special and will start the second season in May. This would be a great time to catch up with this interesting show.

Captain America- Civil War

I am kind of shocked how quickly this came on Netflix. I absolutely loved this movie. I own the DVD. All the Stucky love here.

Trainspotting

The insane cult classic is getting a sequel this year. If you having seen this film now is the time. Fair warning there are some disturbing scenes...sex, drugs, the worst toilet in the world.

Amelie


Sometimes you just need to watch something light and fun. How about the classic Amelie. Yes it is in French, but that is part of the appeal.

2017 Resolutions

Decided to make a a quick list of some of the resolutions I want to work on in the next year. 

My 2017 Goals

Get Healthy & Eat Better

Yes I know that these are the same goals everyone has every year. But they are good goals to have. And you never know, this may be the year that it all works out.

One thing I would really like to try doing is to attempt new recipes that are healthier as apposed to the few recipes I know that are almost all terribly unhealthy....but delicious.

Run a 5K

This year I am planning on running a 5K. I have never done this before and I am a bit nervous but I have picked out a 5k in March and I am going to do it even if I end up walking most of it.

College

College is going to take up most of my time in the next year. I am doubling up on classes with the hope of graduating my May 2018. My goal is to work my butt off and get good grades.

Honestly with college taking over my life in the next year I can only focus on a handful of goals, but I think these are really good ones to strive for. Improvement of the body and the mind.

Hope you all have a fun and safe New Year.

Bright Sides of 2016?

I have been trying to make a list of the things that have happened this year that have been good. Unfortunately I am writing this on the day that Carrie Fisher has been taken away. The painful bookend to a year that began with the loss of David Bowie, my hero and first love. Honestly 2016 has been a cruel year. 

Yet even in the darkest nights there will always be some light.

Here are a few things that have made this no good year tolerable.

College

After far too many years, I am back in school working towards my BA. With the way my life was going I doubted I would ever be able to do this. Money is an issue but I am doing my best to make it work.

Movies

For the better part of the last decade my parents and I had to give up everything to take care of my grandfathers. Sometimes it's the little things that you miss the most. This year my mother and I managed to go to the actual movie theaters. Captain America: Civil War, Ghostbusters, Star Trek Beyond, Ab Fab the Movie. We plan to see Rogue One before the year is out. 

Theatre

This year I won 2016-2017 season tickets to see the touring musicals including Newsies and Elf (which have already played) and soon Dirty Dancing and Something Rotten. I am really looking forward to Something Rotten, a Shakespeare musical that may have THE Adam Pascal touring. Don't know if this is true but I really really hope so.

This was one of the best things I have won, I am such a musical theatre lover...Really I make Tony Award Cookies that got tweeted by the official Tony Awards Twitter : )

Reading

2016 Reading Challenge

Melissa has completed her goal of reading 25 books in 2016!

hide

40 of 25 (100%)

view books

This year I read 40 new to me books. My favorites were Circle of Friends, Poldark, Sunne in Splendor(over 900 pages but really good) and oddly enough The Host. My goal was 25. Next year with all the college classes I am planning on taking this will probably be a lot lower.

And the most important of all

Logan and Finn

I am not putting a picture of her up here but my cousin had the most perfect child last March. Even her name is perfect, Logan (my favorite film is Logan's Run). She is the sweetest baby ever, and I don't like kids so that is saying a lot.

And then there is Finn.

He is at least three times this size now. I can hardly pick him up. He is now my parents' baby because my house and yard could not handle him...also I was sleep deprived and had gotten behind on class work. Puppies are hard work but I still adore him. He is just now my little "brother". 

Also he is named after Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Despite the few good things, I am ready for this year to end. All I can do is hope 2017 is better. 

Holidays

Literary Fixation: My Booky Wook

I think Russell Brand is a pretty good comedian. I really enjoyed him and Noel Fielding on the Big Fat Quiz of the Year. Thank you Youtube!

His biography has been on my "To Be Read List" for awhile and with my break from classes I finally had the chance to read it.

It started out pretty good. His writing style is humorous and peppered with slang that reminds me of A Clockwork Orange. 

The first part concerning his childhood and beginnings in acting school are pretty interesting and flow fairly well.

Once he starts writing about his years on drugs is when he starts to lose me.

The timeline isn't really linear and it is overall chaotic. Which you can argue is a good representation on being on drugs. 

I honestly wanted to skip most of these passages. While chaotic, they were also repetitive.

Some of the stories he mentions are just so uncomfortable. I do not know how he managed to survive this period of his life.

Another downside for me was the place where it ended. He did not really talk about his experiences after the drug years. I became aware of him after he did his stint in rehab. I think he is an interesting actor and I would have like to have read about his work on the films he has been in since then.

I will not say this is a bad book. It was a truthful and interesting account of his life with an emphasis on what his world was like during his drug fueled years.

I now feel the need to re-watch the old Big Fat Quiz videos. 

    

Netflix Picks- December 2016

I have a lot of catching up to do with Netflix but I thought I would choose a few to write about. Some I haven't seen yet, but I plan on binging during my brief reprieve from school work.

Vicar of Dibley

I love this series. It is about a female Vicar, played by the adorable and hilarious Dawn French, who is sent to a oddball village. While it is a comedy there are some really sweet moments, especially in the Christmas episodes. Semi family friendly.

Sense8

I have mentioned this shoe before because I think it is a fantastic sci-fi series without being a typical sci-fi show. There is going to be a Christmas episode coming out this month with the second seasons starting this summer. Now would be a great time to catch up or re-watch. 

The Crown

I have not had a chance to watch this yet but it looks really good. I am a fan of many of the actors involved. Gotta love Matt Smith.

Not on Netflix

Westworld

I have started watching Westworld on HBO. I am not finished just yet but so far I like it. 

Back...for a little while

My first semester at OU is over! All A's so I'm pretty happy.

Next semester will be rough. I am taking 3 classes per eight weeks, a total of 6 classes for the Spring semester. I anticipate an anxiety attack or two.

Even though school has taken over my life since October I have had a few non-academic things happen.

I went with my best friend to see the Elf! The Musical.

I did not have high hopes for this musical, since I am not a huge fan of the film, but I actually enjoyed this show.

My friend had never seen the movie so she went in with an open mid.

Honestly, it was a fun musical. Family friendly with a few winks and nudges for the adults in the audience. Pretty good.

The holidays are around the corner so I have been helping my mother make presents for her friends. Turning old shirts into pillows. My mom is not really able to sew, thus I ended up making all of these pillows. I tried to show her how to use the sewing machine (which she managed to almost break) and to hand sew the pillows closed (again bad idea). 

Candy Boxes

Soon we will be on a candy making quest. So much fudge! It will be painful. 

I have a few blog posts planned for this month. I don't want to completely abandon this blog. For at least the rest of the month of December I will be back on my blogging schedule of Wednesdays and Fridays. *Hopefully

Changes: An Update

I have been absent on this blog for awhile now.
I do have a reason and I am pretty excited about it.
I am going back to college to earn a BA! I had to put my education on hold for a few years to help out my family...(plus college is expensive).
It may not be the best time financially to throw myself back into this arena but I can't wait another decade hoping that everything will fall into place.

Now to the blog:
I really don't want to say that I am giving up this blog. I have "met" so many wonderfully people thanks to this and the Geek Girl PPC. So I will just say that I will still be around but the posts my be infrequent. If there is something I really want to write about I will. As for my normal monthly posts, like Faux Foodie and Lit Fix, I won't be writing those much.

Social Media
I will still be active on Twitter and Instagram because my friends live there.
Any blog post I write will be mentioned on Twitter too.

I am really excited for this second chance. This is a great opportunity that I don't want to lose. Still I am a geek girl to my core and will always be one. eris_discord42 will be back (probably sporadically but still back).
I will definitely get something together for October of next year. I'm thinking all Beetlejuice themed posts for HallowFest2017.

Newsies The Musical

It feels like forever since I have be able to see a touring company musical. 

I managed to win tickets to the full 2016-2017 season at the Tulsa PAC.

The first musical just happened to be NEWSIES!!!

I loved the movie (added points for featuring actors from RoundHouse). When I saw the Tony awards a few years ago that had a Newsies performance featured I knew I needed to see this show.

The musical changes some things from the film. Instead of Bill Pullman's reporter helping the boys out it is actually a female reporter that replaces Davey and Les' sister and becomes the love interest for Jack Kelly.

The music is great. All the songs that I liked in the movie are made bigger and better. All of the new songs feel like they should have always been there.

But the main attraction with Newsies- the DANCING

Just wow!

These actors kill it. They even dance during scenery changes so that there is never a lag in the show. Let me just say that I expected some amazing dancing but I was still blown away.

I want to take dance classes now.

Of course going to a musical would not be complete without getting the program.

From what I understand, this national tour is almost over. The last stop will be in Austin, TX. But there is some possible good news.

A live performance of Newsies has been recorded in LA which means that it may end up being released to DVD. This has happened with RENT, Cats, Shrek, Into the Woods... so there is hope that Newsies might be available to own. If this happens I would recommend getting a copy. 

Literary Fixation- A Rant on Classics

Don't let the title make you think I dislike classic novels.

That is not this case in this rant. It is because I have read many classic novels that I have loved that I am writing this.

Lately every "classic" novel I have read has been bad i.e. boring, bad pacing, unlikable characters etc.

Age of Innocence is the book that broke this reader's back. It has been on my TBR list for quite awhile. Yet reading this book took all my will power. Dull as dry toast springs to mind.

When I refer to classic novels I mean books that are more then a few decades old and are on recommended reading lists such as "Every-man's Library" or "Books Everyone Should Read".

Many of this books I have loved. Examples:

 All of Jane Austen's books

North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell

The Poldark series

Women in Love by D H Lawrence

A Room with a View by E M Forster

I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith

There have even been some classic novels that are not my favorites/ or I had a hard time reading but I thought they were work it.

Little Dorritt by Charles Dickens ( Took me three years to finish, still worth it)

The Forsyte Saga by John Galsworthy ( Everyone in the books eventually dies from old age, but the characters are interesting)

Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte (The main character is cruel but I still enjoy this book)

As you can see I do have an affinity for the classics. Yet somehow nearly every classic novel I have read in the past year or so I have really disliked.

With Age of Innocence I didn't care at all about any of the characters. 

Vanity Fair consisted of mainly characters I couldn't stand.

Jude the Obscure left me feeling hopeless

And I never liked the Great Gatsby. I know it is technically a good novel but not for me.

This year my favorite books that I have read have been the first two books in the Poldark series, the epic historical fiction The Sunne in Splendour and The Host by the Twilight writer Stephanie Meyer (still shocked about that one). 

I think I am going to take a break from the Classics for awhile. If I draw one from my TBR box, I'll just toss it back in.

Netflix Picks- September 2016

For this month's Netflix picks I am choosing movies from the 1980's in honor of my birthday.

Unfortunately a lot of films that I love from the 1980's are not streaming on Netflix; Blue Lagoon, Labyrinth, Casual Sex?, Clue... but here are a few that I think are pretty good.

To Be or Not To Be (1983)

Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft star as a Jewish married couple who are stage actors in Poland when WWII starts. The movie is funny while hinting at the reality of what the Jews faced in WWII. Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft's chemistry is delightful, you can tell they enjoyed working together. And baby Tim Matheson is adorable as a soldier with a crush on Bancroft's character.

The Princess Bride (1987)

If you have never seen The Princess Bride you have missed out. It combines everything needed for an entertaining film. You have romance, adventure, sword fighting, kidnapping, evil royals and Billy Crystal.

Trust me.

Have fun storming the castle!

A Room With A View (1985)

This is not for everyone.

I happen to like costume dramas with that epic scenic feel. If you like Downton Abbey you may enjoy this. Bonus is a younger Maggie Smith as the dowdy chaperone. 

Hairspray (1988)

Most people think John Travolta and Zac Efron when the title Hairspray appears. Heh NOPE! John Waters original film is delightfully odd. Debbie Harry and Sonny Bono play the parents of the mean "Amber". The actress playing "Amber" later went on to be Vitamin C, you know the singer who sang that graduation song.

That is just the beginning of the strangeness of this movie

* At one point I tried to tease my cousin's hair like the girls in the movie, bad idea.

The Super Mario Bros Super Show (1989)

I remember watching this as a kid. Of course I had a nintendo system and played Mario games (and Duck Hunt). Still one of the strangest shows I can remember. But it brings back all the feels.

Birthday 2016

My birthday is September 1st. This year I had planned on going all Captain America/ Stucky. Unfortunately my birthday cake plan went wrong and I ended up getting Krispy Kreme in place of a Stucky Shield cake. 

And because I was rather disappointed in not having the cake I envisioned I also had to comfort myself with multiple cheesecake from the CheeseCake Factory. Just look at that Godiva cheesecake in the middle. Decadent. 

What would a birthday be without some splurging. I adore LUSH bath bombs but the mall that has a LUSH store is almost an hour away. I get these sparingly but I am ecstatic when I do get them. Grabbed an Intergalactic (turns the water such a pretty blue that I feel like a mermaid) and Dragon's Egg (this ones smells amazing). 

In this far away mall is a store called Lolli and Pops that carries all different kinds of candy. They even have areas with candy from different countries. Of course I head straight to the British candy. Those white chocolate buttons are the best white chocolate candy I have ever had.  

And the Disney Store. This is what I bought at the actual store. My Alice obsession is still going strong. Once I got home I realized that I needed a few more things. In a couple of days I should be getting a "gift" in the mail.

Essentially my birthday was pretty good. I had lunch with my mom and a small shopping spree.

Still haven't found the Labyrinth Funko Pops yet. The quest continues.

August 2016 Wrap Up

I haven't been on here a lot recently. I'm sorry about that but I have a very good reason that I will not mention yet.

But here's a hint...

Not going to say anything else until I get a few things situated first.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

IGGLES

This month was the 3rd IggleCamp!!

I was in Troop Impala. Unfortunately I am not a Supernatural fan so I didn't do any of the watch-a-longs. But I did participate in the Photo Scavenger Hunts. 

I love that I have been a part of this online camp for the past three years (even though I didn't get to participate as much as I planned...see above)

My first troop was Marshwiggles and last year I was part of Troop Hakuna Matata.

This camp is how I made all my twitter friends.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Oklahoma HEAT

100 Degrees and 100% Humidity. 

That is what every day feels like now.

I just cannot escape it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Basically that is it for August. My birthday is this week and I have some STUCKY plans for my cake this year. Should have the pics up Friday.

I also won season tickets to the Tulsa PAC for all the touring musicals this season. The first one is in September, Newsies! Hopefully I will have something to write about and the time to write it. Of course I am in my planning stage for HallowFest16, which will be all Tim Burton related.

Better things are coming!

Iggle Camp Scavenger Hunt Pictures 2016

It's IggleCamp time!

I'm in Troop Impala this year. 

I love the Photo Scavenger Hunts so of course I had to participate. Although I am missing one, the blanket fort. But I managed to get the rest. They are in order.
