Fridays scissors and Cream (Breakfast pizza, Cream Cheese Strawberry Muffins & a New Deck!)

For those who are new to our blog I have taken on the challenge to broaden my domestic goddess talents. I will be posting "first attempts" to crafts and recipes each week for your entertainment success or total failure! I call these my Friday's scissor and cream posts.  Enjoy...

Strawberry Cream Cheese Muffins

Holy Summer Sweetness these muffins are scrumptious.  They are pretty sticky so remember to use liners. See the pictures below for why!  HERE is the recipe I used.  Perfect summer time treat.  Can't wait til we can pick strawberries this summer at a u-pick farm!



Breakfast Pizza


Here is our attempt to a new style breakfast pizza with crescent roll dough.  It was a fun idea for "breakfast dinner"  HERE is our recipe.

New projects
Our hopefully one and only home improvement for the summer was ripping up our old N-A-S-T-Y deck and replacing it with a new one.  It was fairly simple since we kept all of the base fame from the old one but it was very time consuming.  We ended up having to wait almost THREE weeks before staining it because of our spontaneously rainy May weather. Here is our before and after shots.

Before:

Here is the deck behind Danagan.  It was painted to try to extend the life a little bit but ended up chipping badly.
