Crafty Wood Cutouts {My Fall Decor}

If you haven't checked out Crafty Wood Cutouts in Orem yet, you definitely need to go.  If you're even the least bit crafty, I'm sure a wave of giddiness will wash over you the moment you step through the door and see all they have to offer.  Their process is simple: you pick which wood design you want to decorate, you pick out the supplies & embellishments you want to use to decorate it, and you go to town!  They've got everything you need from cute paper and sparkly glitter right down to the basics of Mod Podge.  Right now their store is full of holiday cutouts that are sure to make your home a bit more festive.  Here's what I created!

I Like Ike's Cream {with Blue Bell}


Attention Texans: If you're from Texas, chances are that you love love LOVE your Blue Bell ice cream!  I'm not sure what exactly the allure to this specific ice cream is - maybe the perfect blend of flavors that meld exquisitely together creating the ultimate ice cream experience?  Mmmm.  Anyway, my hubby's best friend (a true Texan to the core) led us on a journey last weekend to find Blue Bell ice cream in Utah.  What I found was an entirely scrumptious banana split with Cookie Dough, Mint Chocolate Chip, and Cookies and Cream ice cream complete even with real shavings of chocolate.  Oh ya!  The next day, I was left craving another banana split, so I took matters into my own hands, trumped off to the store, and loaded up my cart with ice cream, bananas, and chocolate and caramel syrup.  Unfortunately, you can't buy Blue Bell in the store, so I guess I'm going to have to venture on down to Ike's again.  Cause my ice cream is already gone.  (Should I have admitted that?)  Anyway,  I Like Ike's Cream is just inside the Provo Beach Resort in the Riverwoods in Provo if you want to head down and check it out.  I highly recommend it.
