Day Three

Some days are easier than others. Some days I feel like everything is doing good, and others I feel like I am one step away from a straight jacket. Today was the latter. I honestly didn't think I would pull myself together to even get this blog done, and I was really starting to regret doing this challenge. I guess this is why the challenge of finding something positive everyday for 30 days was a good idea.


Anyways, (come on mimi get to the crafts!) Well, Adam decided to join me in crafting today and he came up with today's project. He was really craving some rock candy, so we looked up how to do it online, and we did it! How easy this is!!!

Heres how we did it:

First, you measure out your ingredients. Sugar and water (wait.. get your pencil to write that list down)
The, mix the sugar and water in a pan on med heat. (2 times sugar to 1 water) and stir till dissolved.Then, add food coloring and flavor (we chose orange) and pour into containers.


The, we figured out how to dangle wood sticks using clips....


Walah! Now, we wait and watch the crystals. For those of you who dont know, Adam is a Geologist, and works with crystal growing on a daily basis. He was SUPER excited about this project. I also learned all about the process!


Way to go Team WALLACE!!!

High five. Now, stay tuned for some crystal pictures...
