Pecan Pie Recipe Page and a Beautiful Saturday


Hi All!

Another beautiful day in Southern Ohio. The weather is just so nice, and it isn’t raining yet today, which is a plus. My daughter just left. She came by for a visit and to wash a few things. She is slowly getting her personal belonging moved into her own house.

We are suppose to go to a car show this evening at Wheelersburg McDonald’s. I love going to car shows just to see if we win anything. The last three shows we have won something, and I love that, even though there are some odd items.

Today, I’m posting another page for the cookbook I’m making my daughter. This is a Tilda image. Not sure of the designer paper, but I used a chipboard flower and one of my recipes.

Thanks for stopping by. Come back again and often. Hope your Saturday is as beautiful as mine!

Beer Wieners Recipe Page


Hi All!

Happy Thursday out there in blog world! It has been a beautiful day here in Southern Ohio. This morning I cleaned out my flower bed and cleaned around outside. This afternoon I messed in the kitchen, and in just a bit I’m going to mosey to the craft room. Oh, and I got in my work-out on the elliptical. That was probably the hardest part of my day! Whew!

I’m posting a page from a recipe book I’m making for my daughter. Today’s page is a recipe for beer wieners. I liked the little sheep I used to put on this page. Of course, you can see that the flowers are a punch. I used little gems to put on the center of the flowers. The images are from a site that gives free images. I cannot remember the site. Sorry ‘bout that!

Hope you like my page. Have a great evening! Come back around and visit. Thanks!

Happy stamping,
Karen

1972 Mach I Mustang - Apple of My Husband's Eye


Hi All!

Haven’t been on my blog for a long time, but thinking of getting to it again. I mean to get to it and never do. I took pictures of a scrappin’ cookbook I have made for my daughter, Victoria, who got married July 30, 2011. I haven’t finished yet, but plan to start posting each page and then when I have all of them finished giving it to her. She has already started calling me asking for recipes over the phone. I would have never thought I had recipes that she would actually want. But, of course, I have recipes that are my Mother’s, so why wouldn’t Victoria want mine?

As for today, I’m posting a picture of my husband’s 1972 Mach I Mustang, that he totally restored all by himself. He downplays it, but Saturday, August 17th, 2011, he won a first place plaque for custom street rod, at Poage Landing Days, in Ashland, Kentucky. I was so excited for him. He worked so hard on his car, and loves it so much. It is nice to know that when a slew of judges with their little mirrors and clip boards walked around looking at cars, judging all that was there, that they actually saw all his work and let it be known that it is something he should be proud of. Of course, we have tons of pictures of his car, but I have one here for you to take a look at her. She is a beaut!

Thanks for stopping by. Come back by when I start posting my scrap pages. Have a great day!

It Truly is a Monday - Valentine's Day, Too!


Today, is a Monday, though it feels like a Tuesday. I’m not sure why I’m so confused. It is probably something to do with the fact that I don’t go anywhere most of the time. Oh, Happy Valentine’s Day, too. That is today as well! Didn’t do anything for that. My husband ask if I got him a card or anything. I told him I got him the same thing he got me! Nothing! I just know I’m going to win the “Wife of the Year Award!” Valentine’s Day is just a Hallmark/Wal-Mart/FTD Holiday anyway. He better love me all year long, and not just one day a year.

Been doing Swaps on SCS. I’m loving it. I get so excited about making the cards, but then worry if they are good enough. I got some pretty ones back, as well as some nice recipe cards with some recipes I can’t wait to try. I’m going to post a card that I made for a swap. Hope it inspires someone. Actually, the shape inspired me. Decided to try it, and glad I did. I think it turned out pretty, and I loved the Hanglar-Stanglar girl. Just love those little characters. Wish we could buy those stamps in the USA. Maybe someday.

Okay, about 2-1/2 hours left of Valentine’s Day. Enjoy it. It is a Monday, remember. I’m back to the craft room for some coloring and laying out a card. Have a good one!

Toota-loo,
Karen
