White Chocolate S'mores Gooey Cake Bars

Words cannot describe how perfectly DELICIOUS these 

bars were! Not only were they, moist, gooey, crunchy, and every 

other texture you can think of, but they were easy and fast- very convenient!(; 

Enjoy this recipe from Lovin' From the Oven!

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

   White Chocolate Gooey Cake Bars

1 box yellow cake mix

1 egg

1/2 c. butter {1 stick}, softened

4 1/2 full graham crackers

10 oz. bag white chocolate chips

2 c. mini marshmallows

1/2 c. sweetened condensed milk

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
2. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with aluminum foil, making sure that it goes up all the way on the sides of the pan.
3. Mix together the cake mix, egg, and butter with hands until a nice, thick dough forms. 
4. Press half of the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. Layer with graham crackers, white chocolate chips, then marshmallows. Top the mixture with remaining dough and press evenly. Drizzle condensed milk on top.
5. Bake for 28-33 minutes, until completely cooked and golden brown on top. Remove from oven. 
6. Let the bars cool for 5 minutes, and then remove the bars from the pan, using the aluminum foil.
7. Cool completely and use a knife that has been run under hot water (do after every couple of cuts) to cut into pieces. 

{Belated Wednesday Wants!}

You're probably thinking... 

"Umm... Sophie. It's kinda Thursday, NOT Wednesday!"

Yes, I am very aware of this fact! hahaha I have been 

wanting to write 

this blog for a long time, and now is when I'm getting around to it! ... 

But hey, at least I'm blogging!(; 

SOOOO!! I am going to share with you a few things that have been on my WANTED LIST for awhile! 

Drum Roll PLEASEEEEEE!......

Let me introduce you to TOMS! Aren't they 

super cute?! ... Not only are they ADORABLE, but for every pair of

 shoes sold, TOMS gives

 a pair of shoes to a child in need! {So basically- you're paying for two 

pairs of shoes.} 

These babies are only $44! But remember, you're 

paying for two pairs...!

I LOVE THIS PURSE! I first saw it on one of 

Kandee Johnson's video { and also in my dreams!;) } and loved it the 

moment my eyeballs spotted it! It's priced at $65 on Baghaus, but I'm 

sure you could find it cheaper on amazon or eBay or something... 

Also, It's pretty humungo so you're getting 

your money's worth. 

... And last but not least! If you have ever had a Vera Bradley, 

you know you can't buy JUST ONE! ... I have like five, and this one is 

next! It's the Hipster in Happy Snails- $58. 

Hello kitty bags and lots and lots of shoes!

BUT I'm just letting you guys know I am STILL alive and blogging! lol(: I guess I should have something in this post that is somewhat FUN for you guys! haha(: One of my favorite blogs that I follow {Lovin' From the Oven} is doing a fun fun give away!

DIY Project- Flower Ball! {and a new grab-button!}

A couple weeks ago, I saw on a blog {Kandee Johnson}, an idea for a flower ball! This project was super cute, easy, inexpensive, and fun! Here's what you'll need:

• fake flowers 

{I ended up getting 33 bundles of small flowers for about .30-.40 each... If they weren't on sale for $1, this project would have gotten a little spendy!}

• any size styrofoam ball

• hot glue gun 

{I lost my old one so I got a zebra-striped one at Michael's for only $5!}

• glue sticks

• ribbon {If you want to hang it...}

1. Pull {or cut} the flowers off of the stems. 

2. Hot glue the ends of the flowers and press them into the styrofoam ball.

3. Tie some ribbon in a knot and glue to the ball if you want to hang it.

This whole project cost me $17.90...

-Flowers {Michaels- 10.90}

- Styrofoam ball {Michaels- 4.99}

-Ribbon {Michaels- $1}

ENJOY YOUR LOVERLY FLOWER BALLS! MINE IS HANGING IN MY ROOM, ABOVE MY BED. YOU COULD PUT YOURS ON A SHELF, NIGHSTAND, IN THE BATHROOM, OR JUST HANG IT LIKE I DID! 

Also, here is a new button I designed today... Please take one and post it on your blog!

{If you are interested in making your OWN blog button, HERE'S HOW!}

Grab My Button!

Hey Readers!After a few days of trying to figure out how to create and share my own blog button, I FINALLY figured it out, thanks to the help of tons of online tutorials I found... I spent SOOOO much time making this button {AND I AM SUPER SUPER SUPER PROUD OF MYSELF!}, so PLEASE grab one to put on your blog! Thanks!(:-Sophie

Also, Shabby Blogs is where I have found most of my buttons! Be sure to check it out!

Shabby Blogs!

Hey Readers! So this morning, I was kinda messing around with blogger trying to figure out all those fancy URL and HMTL codes for buttons and blog dress-ups... I found a SUPER awesome website www.shabbyblogs.com. They have TONS of cute blog buttons, blinkies, backgrounds, headers, tutorials, and tons more! ... You should check it out! 

{If you have seen any of my new buttons towards the end of my sidebar, I just got those from shabby blogs!}

But I was kind of wanting to make my OWN blog button and couldn't really figure out how to! I also noticed that when I added the buttons, they didn't display any sort of code that you could copy and paste to use for YOUR blogs! 

If you know ANYTHING about this stuff, please comment below and HELP ME! haha(: 

Thanks!(:
