Look What I Made!

This weekend was our youth/ward auction. What a great time to come together as a ward to support our youth for all the activities that they have planned, to be able to fund them. I am so impressed with all the talent that we have in our ward. With that being said, it makes me stretch to see what I can come up with that will be even a smidgen close to the talent that I know will be shown. THIS WAS TOTALLY FUN! The dinner is free but you pay for the desserts. Then tons of stuff was donated for auction! I made these "Flowers" that are totally edible, except for the sticks. The main part of the flower is a brownie, the peddles are gum paste and there is a raspberry candy holding the peddles on the stick with a dollop of melted chocolate to hold the brownie on. All of them were sold very quickly!

How am I going to top this next year?

What your car color says about you?

Today was a very important day for my truck. In April, I will have owned my truck for 5 years. When I drove to work today, I found that my odomoter said....

Yikes! But I do a bit of driving!

Then I thought, what does my vehicle color say about me? Well of course I googled it and I found this article. It is a bit long, but fun to read. How close is it to you and your color?

What the Color of your Vehicle Says About You (Or the Character in Your Book)March 23, 2008 — Pat Bertram
In my green article for St. Patrick’s Day, I wrote, “Owning a dark green vehicle supposedly means that you are traditional, trusty, and well balanced, but what it really means is that you are thrifty. Who makes dark green cars anymore? If you own one, it’s probably been a while since you bought a new vehicle.”
So for all you smug people who don’t own a green vehicle, I thought I’d tell you what the color of your car says about you.
Yes, your fiery orange-red sports car says exactly what you think it does: you’re sexy, speedy, high-energy, dynamic. Before you preen, go out and look at your red car. Most red cars on the road are more of a kidney bean color. Is yours? If so, it means you are dynamic and energetic but are losing your fire. You really want to be have that orange-red sports car personality, but you just can’t quite make it. You’re too busy, too old, or too tired. For all the good your red car does you, it might as well be brown.
A silver car supposedly says that you are cool and elegant. The only problem is that since silver was the most popular car color for several years, almost everyone owns one, like your neighbors who don’t mow their lawns and don’t put their garbage cans away after the garbage has been picked up. Real cool. Very elegant.
White supposedly means you are fastidious, but what it really means is that you wanted that fiery orange-red sports car, but you drive like a bat out of hell or like batman in his batmobile, (depending on your age group) and you were afraid that you’d get too many tickets so you chose the less conspicuous white. Good thinking. On average, while drivers in red cars do not get more tickets than anyone else, orange-red sports car drivers do, and let’s face it, they deserve them. Who drives the speed limit in a car like that?
A light blue vehicle supposedly means that you’re calm and quiet, but what it really means is that you went to the showroom to buy a sunshine yellow car to show how joyful and young-at-heart you are, but they only had marine blue, and since you really are a calm, quiet person who doesn’t like to make waves, you bought it.
A purple vehicle means you are creative, individualistic, original, and perhaps it does. It could also mean you’re too old to care what anyone thinks of you.
A black vehicle says you are empowered, not easily manipulated, love elegance, and you appreciate the classics. It’s also says that you are mysterious or that you have two sides to your personality; it’s the favored car of both clergy and gangsters.
A dark blue vehicle says you are credible, confident, dependable. And you drive too much because you always get stuck with the carpool.
A gray vehicle says you are sober, corporate, practical. Boring. But if that gray car is charcoal with sparkles, you still have flashes of brilliance and charisma.
An orange vehicle says you are fun loving, talkative, fickle, trendy. A yellow-green one says you are trendy, whimsical, lively. And you know it’s true. Only fun and whimsical cars come in these colors: Volkswagen bugs and little sportscars.
A tan vehicle means that you’re timeless, basic, simple, but it also means you have something to hide. Maybe bad driving habits? Or that you never wash your car?
A gold vehicle says is that you love comfort and will pay for it; it also says that you’re intelligent, and you must be — you were smart enough to come read my article!
And a brown vehicle supposedly means you’re down-to-earth but who are you trying to kid? If you really cared about the earth, you wouldn’t have bought that big old gas-guzzler.
So what color of car do I drive? I’m sorry, but I don’t know you well enough to answer such a personal question.
