Ladies Night!

So what is the best way to relieve stress from work???

HAVE A CRAFTING NIGHT WITH YOUR BESTIES!

Alicia, Ellyn, and I had a great crafting night at Kyle and Ellyn's house, and it was just what we all needed! We had a great time talking about college, and venting to each other about our jobs! It was so much fun! Alicia made an amazing Butterfinger cake, Ellyn had FABULOUS salsa and sandwiches, and I brought creamy Artichoke bread.

Take a look at our projects....


Alicia made this super cute bracelet for Ellyn! It is the perfect amount of sparkle, pink, and pearls. So beautiful! I think that Ellyn should be a jewelry model! haha

Ellyn painted this super cute sunflower! It is the perfect size and has great colors and she is going to put it in her kitchen!



I painted this cupcake after a painting that I found in a magazine that inspired me. I'm not completely done with it, but only minor details are left!

It was a fantastic night and we are doing it again in a couple of weeks! Love you girls!!!!!!

Here is my recipe for Creamy Artichoke bread that I took...

 

Creamy Artichoke Bread

Ingredients

• 1 loaf of Italian bread (mine was already sliced, but you can get a loaf that isn't and cut it down the middle and make smaller bites if you would like! It is up to you!)
• 1 jar of artichokes, drained
• 1/4 cup mayo
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup parm. cheese + some for sprinkling
• 1/4 cup green onion, chopped

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350. Mix ann ingredients except the bread in a bowl. Lay out your bread on a baking sheet and spread the mixture evenly on each piece of bread. Before putting in the oven sprinkle more parm. cheese on top of each piece of bread.

2. Bake at 350 for about 15-20 minutes, really just keep checking on it every now and then and when the edges start to get brown they are done!!

3. Enjoy!!!
