Fall Jingle Bell Wreath

While shopping at JoAnn's recently,
I got sucked into the Halloween/Fall aisles.

I wasn't there for decorations but I couldn't resist.

I found this wreath for 40% off 

and I had a coupon for an additional 20% off my entire purchase

(thank you iPhone app)!

So I caved...

At first I thought jingle bells for fall were dumb... 

but then I realized they were ACORNS!

 I thought it needed a bow

 Happy Fall to you!

Butterfinger Cake

I made this Butterfinger cake for a luncheon last week.

People liked it.

I think I'd prefer a chocolate cake but this was a tasty alternative.

You'll need the following items:
1 yellow cake mix
3 eggs
oil
water
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 jar of caramel topping
1 8oz cool whip
4 regular sized Butterfinger candy bars

Follow the cake mix directions on the box.

Mix for 3 minutes

Bake in a greased pan for about 30 minutes at 350.

Mix sweetened condensed milk and caramel syrup.
*My mixture slightly resembled George Washington :)

Mix until well combined.

Unwrap Butterfingers

Chop them up.

What is that haunting aroma, Mom???

Let cake cool a bit.
Once cool, slice with serrated knife.

Pour caramel mixture

Sprinkle half of butterfingers on top of cake.

Refrigerate for several hours.
Add cool whip.

Top with remaining candy.

Slice and eat.

It's been a busy week at my house.

Here were the best parts:

1. My class and I are having a lot of fun graphing football scores.

We graph wins and points earned.

Then we have a student pretend to be a reporter and report on the latest.
We chose two big teams in Utah (Utah and BYU) and my favorite (Notre Dame).

2. My current motto:

3. I feel pretty lucky to have my own personal assistant to help me grade papers.

 4. Had my first pumpkiny treat of the season this week courtesy of Great Harvest.

5. I'm working like crazy trying to get ready for my art show next week.
Here's a sneak peak of what I'm going to be selling:
