on the one-a-week challenge:
here’s my loot from the grocery store and pantry.

i’m getting a little worried here. i have NO IDEA what i’m going to make with these things?! ack! maybe i should have had a plan before going shopping? although, the contestants on project runway don’t have much time to think either. . .
i’m also starting to realize that it would have been wise to get alot of one material instead of one of everything. i mean. . . chocolate, soap, and rice paper? i chose materials based on texture and color. . . oh dear . . . this is quite the challenge!
time to brainstorm . . .
materials:
soy wrapper (in five colors!)- 2 packages
rice paper- 1 package
2 bars of soap
1 bar of dark chocolate
1 tin of green tea
1 small bag of dried mangoes
from the pantry:
1 package of sprinkles
1 tin of tea
1 tin of hot chocolate
total $ : $27.43

some of our favorite places:
the jackalope
maria’s taco express
the alamo drafthouse
amy’s ice cream
thank you jennifer for the round top tip- it’s on my calendar for next year already!
in other news, all orders made while we were away have been packaged and shipped out as of this morning!
now, it’s back to the studio. i’m off to the grocery store this evening to find materials for the new one a week challenge.
have a nice day everyone!
