Working with a kit

Hello! Here we go again. For a very long time I wanted to try to work with a kit. You are probably familiar with kit clubs and what they have to offer. My favorite is a Studio Calico. I love how they put their kits together but I never worked with one. So after NSD, when Shimelle Laine shared a video on this subject, I've been thinking to give it a try, and I've finally decided to do it.  I based my choices on this kit from Studio Calico, called 35mm:

 

I gathered some supplies I had on hand. Of course, I didn't have any of the papers that are in the kit, but it gave me an idea of what to put together. Here is what I will be working with:

My goal is to work exclusively with items in this kit, and see what and how much I can create before running out of supplies or inspiration. Ok, you know me. I might change my mind along the way, or I may decide that this is not working for me, but I'm ready to give it a try. I have my first layout started! That's the first LO after having a baby. I need to overcome the fear of ruining the project and satisfy my soul by finally creating something!

And while my page may take some time to be finished, I still have to be creative in the kitchen every day. And by creative I don't mean do something to impress others, it actually means to cut the steps so that I can prepare a meal in smaller chunks of time. For example, instead of making so wanted "пирожки", I made pancakes with chicken, onion and mushroom filling. It's not the same, but it works. All I had to do is to pour a little batter on skillet, add filling...

 

and try to cover it with some more batter on top. They don't come out very evenly shaped, but they hold together and taste good!

Kids ate them just as is or with sour cream. I had tea with mine.

Hope you are having a great time! My kids did yesterday. They still talk about all the rides they went on at Hershey Park. I'm glad they could go, because weather we like it or not, school time is going to be here pretty soon.

See you tomorrow.
