Funfetti Cookies!!!

I know I know - Pillsbury Funfetti cake mix and icing have been around a LONG time! 

 Know how I know?  My 21 year old baby girl never wanted anything else for her Birthday cake!  We are BIG Funfetti (and Pillsbury doughboy) fans here!  So when we saw the recipe for cookies using this mix it was a no brainer.  

This recipe has been around and you probably made some years ago but just in case - check it out here!

And thanks to Nothing But Country for the inspiration for my cookie stand!  Not as cute as their cupcake stand but I'll be working on that later.  :)

Fireflies aka Ligtning Bugs here in the South :)

Just saw my first Lightning Bugs for this summer!  What sweet memories they bring!  Oh I love you Summer!

Cardboard!

Wait! Don't throw that box in the recycling can just yet!   I'm starting to see cardboard creations pop up, especially on pinterest.  I have loved this stuff ever since I had to make a chair with corrugated cardboard as a project in my few years as a design student.  (First baby came along, hubby decided to go to night school for MBA and so it went on the back burner)   Not complaining - I'm loving my life!

So - I have been hoarding saving corrugated cardboard boxes because I knew I could use them one day.  And like not sending things to the landfill!

Today, I used the Vitatops box that my oldest daughter bought at a great price through Hungry Girl.  (No endorsement here - she really did buy them and loves HG!)  They came in this sturdy box.  So, when I decided to make a cardboard project this was the box!

I cut off one of the box lids (Flaps?  Not sure what you call it)  then scored it every half inch.  

Gently stared turning it into a cylinder

Pantone inspired Paint!

Maybe I am so behind the times (and so clueless as usual) but as I was walking through the paint section at Lowe's I saw a display I have never seen before.  And I go there and Home Depot every day  A LOT!   It was a small section of something called My Color paint inspired by Pantone.   Seriously?

  Here is their scoop

MyColor™ inspired by PANTONE® gives consumers a clear and dramatic view of the color palette directly from the container and delivers not too much but just the right amount of paint for small ­projects in a 35 ounce container. This translates to less waste and less strain on the environment. – Ultra Low VOC, Low Odor – Factory Precision Color – Stain Blocking, Self Priming – Washable Eggshell Finish

Well - needless to say I was as wide eyed as a kid in a candy shop.  New paint =  New adventures!  And of course there is a quart of the color of the year - Honeysuckle!
Just wondering if any of you have tried this paint?   I will be trying one tomorrow - not sure which color because that is a tough decision!   
Did they make the paint containers look like cookie jars on purpose?
