Arkansas in the Fall

October is apparently a great Craft Show month! And Arkansas is apparently the mecca of Craft Shows. So my Big Sis and I had a roadtrip to Arkansas for a long weekend to visit with our good friend and craft show extraordinaire, and go craft show shoppin!

Driving through Arkansas, we drove passed the most beautiful scenery! The trees were burnt oranges, golden yellows, and bright reds! The views were breathtaking, and who would've thought? I don't normally think of Arkansas as "beautiful" but it was!

On the way to one of the shows, we drove over this lake, and it was stunning with houses on the cliff and miles of water and I'm not even an outdoorsy person!

Stuck in traffic, but the views were lovely so we didn't mind

Our friend Sarah gets to drink a cup o' joe and look at this view every day! Her back porch is high up, looking down into her own little forest! I'm jealous! :)

The War Eagle craft show was like being on the set of "Sweet Home Alabama." And it was huge! They estimated 180,000 ppl over the weekend. With friendly people, funnel cakes, and super cute holiday crafts, I was in heaven!

There was a little country band on the porch playing music the whole time. And tons of fair food! Yum...

I couldn't take many pics of the booths, they're fiesty about that :( but I snuck the phone out once when they weren't looking

In the kitchen

The beginning of something beautiful!!!

You mix all this goodness together...

It turns into this mess...

You bake the bread for a little while

Sprinkle with powdered sugar, and roll it up!

Unroll after cool, smear filling, reroll = Ta da!!!

And theoretically it ends up looking like this!

Unfortunately my first go at it fell apart...

But doesn't this look good?
