Congratulations...

Congratulations to Anya for winning Project Runway. 
I have mixed feelings about Anya winning the show. But I liked her throughout the whole season. I honestly think that she can put out really cool collections. She has a great eye for fashion and I understand why the judges picked her. The idea of her winning is growing on me :)
Here are my favorite looks from each designer's final collection!

Can't wait till Project Runway Allstars!
That is going to be amazing.

Cute and funny

I ran in the 5k for the Des Moines Marathon a couple weeks ago. It was fun. Planning on doing a half marathon next year! Can't wait, I hope I can do it :)


Anyways, here is some of the demographics I got in an email after the marathon was over. Look what I highlighted in red. Kinda funny...

Hahaha...

This weekend, my little sister and I applied to our nails Sally Hansen salon effects real nail polish strips.

A ton of brands have them, so there are many different looks to choose from.

 It was easy to do, and I think they turned out great!

I also did the Vanessa Hudgens trend...painting your ring finger a different color:

Why didn't anyone think of these brilliant nail strips before? Creative, easy, and adds a little excitement and variety to the normal nail polish colors of life.

Saying a slow good bye to summer

I have had a great summer. I am going to miss it. I love summer. Here is a photo of a summer memory. Me and Blackey on the deck one hot summer night. 

Things I LOVE about this photo:
-Blackey's face (he is looking at the camera)
-How the picture got cropped. I wasn't trying for the grass on the side, but it was a perfect place to fit text. Couldn't help it.
-My grandmother's silver necklance
-The blurriness of the photo, captures the "in the moment cell phone photo" feel.
XOXO,

Creative Wednesday

I think this commercial is really creative. Every guy would buy something useless if they had extra money. Take for example David, my awesome hubby, I am sure he would buy a kayak. Really David...a kayak?!? We have no place in South Sioux City or even near us to kayak. Sigh...men. Enjoy this creative (and funny) State Farm commercial!



XOXO,
Simply Judy (not ever going to own a kayak) Bligh

Creative Wednesday

I think I would injure myself if I had a pocket knife in my pocket. But, creative idea on Victorinox Swiss Army. USB drive included in your pocket knife. Smart, sleek, and creative!

Zucchini bread

My brother-in-law has a fantastic garden. He gave me a zucchini from his garden, so I decided that this was the perfect opportunity to make zucchini bread. I have never made zucchini bread before and only tasted it once. I was excited to try this bread recipe. To my surprise, it was super easy to make and really tasty to eat!

Sift flour, salt, baking powder, soda, and cinnamon together in a bowl.

Beat eggs, oil, vanilla, and sugar together in a large bowl.

Add sifted ingredients to the creamed mixture, and beat well.

Stir in zucchini and nuts (I didn't use nuts) until well combined.

Pour batter into prepared pans.

Bake for 40 to 60 minutes, or until tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on rack for 20 minutes. Remove bread from pan, and completely cool.

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 2 1/4 cups white sugar
• 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups grated zucchini
• 1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

1. Grease and flour two 8 x 4 inch pans. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2. Sift flour, salt, baking powder, soda, and cinnamon together in a bowl.
3. Beat eggs, oil, vanilla, and sugar together in a large bowl. Add sifted ingredients to the creamed mixture, and beat well. Stir in zucchini and nuts until well combined. Pour batter into prepared pans.
4. Bake for 40 to 60 minutes, or until tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on rack for 20 minutes. Remove bread from pan, and completely cool.
