Homemade Red Lobster Biscuits

Holy heaven! The Lord is worthy! One of my favorite American delicacies are biscuits. In Australia, they call "crackers" biscuits and biscuits "scones"? Either way, they're not the same in any way, shape or form. When I found this recipe for Red Lobsters Cheddar Bay Biscuit recipe, I knew I had to try it. Best part is this recipe doesn't even require Bisquick! I'm not a marvelous cook by any means, and that's exactly why I never blog recipes or meals because they usually tend to be microwavable and on thrift store plates. But I couldn't resist these. I know my fellow American college students will appreciate this one.

ENJOY!

Table Numbers

Hello lovelies!

I hope you're all having a wonderful Friday! I'm babysitting the adorable Mia Preston while her mum and sister are at the beach (lucky) and her daddy is at the Lamon Luther shop working' hard. So while she's in bed taking her nap I figured I'd use this time to share what I'm planning on doing as table numbers. I originally saw this idea on... wait for it... PINTEREST! There really is no right or wrong way to go about doing it. As long as it matches the colors in the reception, you're dandy. 

Side note: I apologize for the bad picture quality... Micah's not here to document so I'm using my iPhone camera.

Supplies:

-Acrylic paint (I would recommend using Folk Art brand. It goes on thicker and takes one        coat which means less time painting)

-A paint brush

-Yarn, string, paper flowers or whatever you choose to decorate with.

-Cardboard numbers from Hobby Lobby

-A few paper towels and a cup of paint water.

 *Make sure to get the price sticker off REALLY good. They're hard to get off but they look crappy if you leave 'em on.

Set up your painting station BEFORE you start!

Paint on 1-2 coats of paint on each number. When you're done, let them dry for about 10-15 mins.

 Now you're ready to decorate!!! Here's my finished yarn product...

NAP TIME!

...these are the lovely words of pam!
