Trader Joe's Mini Croissants

Last week I was in a baking mood and decided to try making croissants from scratch. They took a long time to make it and in the end weren't all that great. Of course I didn't take a picture, but they were pretty small, not flaky, and I kind of burnt them.

Anyway, I went to Trader Joe's and saw these frozen croissants and thought I'd give them a try.

Yumm!

You have to let them thaw for 7 to 9 hours so they rise. So, I left them out overnight in the oven. Marshall baked them this morning and they were great! Flaky, buttery, good sized, and 150 calories.

Day 5: from a high angle

Don't worry, she's pretending to be sleeping, not dead.

Day 4: something green

Here is my original cloud picture meant for yesterday...

Today's challenge was to photograph something green. I took a couple pictures today :)

Here's some green gum.

Here's Quinn in a green and white dress hanging on a green rail with some green trees.

Green sign.

This isn't green, but it's cute. It's Quinn trying to ride her "hortsey."

Day 3: clouds

Ok so I am posting this using my phone. That's how dedicated I am to this challenge! I took a pic of a chalk cloud because there were no clouds today (figures the one day I want some clouds there are none), but the pic is on my camera...anyway here is a picture with clouds in it.

Day 2: what I wore today

I feel like this is another self portrait...

In case you want to try and copy this lovely outfit (minus the toothpaste spot)...Shirt: Target - $5. Undershirt: Forever 21 - $4.00. Jeans: Citizens for Humanity - $120 (Christmas Present). Shoes: Nine West - $9. Necklace: Forever 21 - $2.80. Belt: Not sure...came with a different pair of pants.

Today I wore my standard uniform: jeans, t-shirt, flats. I so want to be on that show "What Not to Wear." Then I could get $5,000 to buy a whole new wardrobe with the help of professional stylists! No more jeans and t-shirts, instead I would wear smart skirts and blouses and high heeled shoes that would help my posture, which would make me look thinner. So, who wants to secretly video tape me wearing frumpy clothes and no make-up? We would both get to be on TV and I would share my new wardrobe with you :)

Anyway...what did you wear today?

Day 1: Self Portrait

I did it!!! I would have put my self portrait up with my first post, but I was waiting for the camera battery to charge. I figured if I put the initial post up then I would have to do it (because I don't want to look like a chump that can't follow through :)).
