Pashur's workshop

I was blessed to be able to host his workshop here yesterday. He is an amazing teacher. I learned several new designs that really pop. He taught us a 3D scorpion, spider and a wicked rose!
I made baked ziti for lunch with french bread and salad and of course my toffee. I've had many requests for the recipe so I am going to put it on my blog.
1 pound of butter
2 cups of sugar
small bag of finely ground nuts ( I use walnuts)
12 oz bag of semi sweet chocolate chips
heavy duty sauce pan
melt sugar and butter in saucepan and stir constantly over medium heat. The second it starts to steam take it off the heat and pour it into a cookie sheet with raised edges. Spread it out and sprinkle the chocolate chips over the butter sugar mixture. Spread it out smooth over the mixture and then sprinkle with the ground nuts. Let cool and break into pieces.
Enjoy!

my first day with my new blog

11-28-2008

Well this is interesting. I finally decided to start a blog. A bit about me.

I'm a balloon artist and Face painter. I also have just started a web store selling henna and glitter tattoo kits for $15.00 each. These are really cool stocking stuffers for teenagers and women. I get all my henna supplies from www.amerikanbodyart.com. I use only natural henna(Jamila)
I got into henna because I found myself being limited with balloon art and face painting to certain age groups and when I first heard of henna I realized that older ages were really into henna tattoos and henna designs. At first I bought the premade henna and then I tried to mix my own, what a mess! I bought it premade for a couple of years and then after researching more I tried again to mix it and it definitely got easier.
Now with balloon art, henna, face painting and glitter tattoos I have lots of channels for my creativity. For now my portfolio can be found at www.sunshineannee.balloonhq.com. My store is www.paulamoors.ecrater.com.
On a more personal note I am a 61 year old single (ok divorced) lady. I live in Petaluma, California in the heart of wine country and I love it here. I like the small town feel but it's close to cities like Santa Rosa and San Francisco.
I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving and I wish you all happy holidays to come.
