Madison got a paint-by-number set from her grandfather for her birthday. This is what she did. I think it turned out pretty well, considering this was her first time doing something like that.

Instead of Captain America underpants on my nails, I went for just some tips. Lasted all day, and turned out well, IMO :D

Ingredients:
a package of marshmallows
2 packages of melting chocolate, in red & blue, or food coloring

Dip another marshmallow in the other color. Place on top of the first marshmallow.
I used my M&Ms to decorate the bottom of my “firecracker”.

Wow. I didn't realize how red my hair had gotten. It's officially a strawberry blond, at least underneath.
I'm loving it!! ♥
