Wonderland

Good morning everyone.  I hope your week is going well.  I have a busy day planned for which, once completed, I will feel much better.   First off is an appointment with my Pastor.  I have some things going on that I am not handling well and I always feel better afterward because I have a plan to help me move forward.

Tonight is scrapbooking night at my place and I am looking forward to seeing everyone.  But, before that can happen, I need to do some housecleaning.  It will be nice to have accomplished some things that are on my never-ending to do list!

As sometimes happens, the card I had planned isn't what it became but that's okay.  So I changed my design up a bit and am thrilled with the result!  I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I would love to hear your thoughts, please leave a comment.

Everyday Chic

Good morning.  I love that Michael's often has weekly 40% off coupons, but it's even better when they have 50% off coupons!!!  I have fallen in love with a new art medium called Mixed Media - I hope to show you mine soon.  One of the products needed is lots of paper flowers. Friday, I found a large container of white paper flowers at Michael's so I went back Saturday night to get them and used my coupon!  I want to color and embellish them instead of buying them. I'll try to show those along the way, too.  I couldn't wait to play with them so I sat down to create a card and here it is.

Hi everyone.  I haven't been very creative lately so decided to try some sketch challenges to get me going  I wanted to do something outside the box and I happened to have the Boo To You Framelit Dies sitting on my desk so I picked it up and started to look at the Boo image.  Then boo boo came into my head, then I thought of Honey Boo Boo, I tabled that (you're very welcome) & came up with I hear you have a boo boo!  Amazing what happens when you just listen!

Succulents

Hello.  It is cool and cloudy here.  A nice day to be home and getting some things done.  I'll be going to the gym later and I need to drop off a package at the Post Office.  I tried a new recipe yesterday for Ham & Cheese Sliders.  They were pretty good but I think my next hot ham & cheese sandwich will be done in a nonstick skillet.  Here's the recipe:

Ingredients
3/4 cup melted Butter
1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
1 tsp Brown Sugar
1 tbsp Poppy Seeds
2 tsp Dried Minced Onion
12 King's Hawaiian Dinner Rolls
9 oz thin sliced Deli Ham
8 oz thin sliced Swiss Cheese

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350.
Grease a 9x13inch
baking dish.
Combine butter, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, poppy seeds, and dried onion.
Slice the rolls to make sandwiches. Remove tops and set aside.
Place the bottom pieces into the prepared baking dish.
Layer the ham onto the rolls.
Top the ham with the Swiss cheese.
Place the tops of the rolls onto the sandwiches.
Brush or pour the liquid mixture evenly over the rolls.
Bake 20 minutes or until the rolls are lightly browned and cheese has melted.
Separate into individual sandwiches to serve.


My project today are these cute succulent plants made out of cardstock.

Have a great week!  Thanks so much for stopping by.  Please feel free to leave me a comment, I love hearing from you.

Yay!!

Happy Monday!  It's been a very long time since I have shared a post with you all, huh?  It's crazy busy around here and I have a one-tracked mind so it's start a project and finish it before trying to do something else.  There's been our annual stampin' retreat, a Friday night and an all-day Saturday event of sharing new products/projects from our Holiday Catalog.  I have had a class since my last post.

I've been to my first water coloring class and absolutely loved every second of those 2 hours and looking forward to the next one.

Working my ABC's today - Awaken, Blogging, Creating & Cleaning House.  I also have my workout at 5:00 pm today.  Then, it's football time.  Chiefs vs. Packers.  Go Chiefs!  Hmmm, maybe I should have posted a yellow and gold project.

Gift For A Friend

Happy Tuesday!  I'm back on my daily schedule and it feels great.   Housework, blogging and getting ready for new events.  Yay!

This past weekend was our annual stampin retreat and I have lots to share so I thought I would put them out on display for friends & customers to see.  My mini holiday event will be this Friday 3p to 7pm.  If you are in town, come & see me.

During our retreat, a friend of mine was sharing some of her favorite watercolor pins on Pinterest with us and it motivated me to reply to an email, from over a year ago, looking for a watercolor class. I heard back from the instructor today.  We had a nice conversation & I am looking forward to my 1st class tomorrow.

My project today is a very pretty gift for a friend.  The decorated clothespin was a gift from our retreat.  I knew I wanted to give it to a friend so I made a pretty card to go with it.  I hope she likes it.
