MISC...

My son Michael proposed to his girlfriend Sara on April 1st. They are planning a Nov. 3, 2012 wedding. I am so happy for them.

I saw a personalized frame at a craft show, selling for $45, and I knew I could make one much cheaper.

Here is my version

The happy couple LOVED it.

I see many more being made for Christmas gifts. One with Granny and Grandpa across all the grandkids names. Cute, Cute, Cute

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------While talking to my niece Shelly today, we were going over our weekly menus. She told me of this dessert and I just had to make it. What a mess, but it is so Yummy. Going into the monthly rotation.

Apple Cinnamon Skillet Monkey Bread

1/4 c. butter

1/4 c. Brown sugar, packed

1/2 tsp. Cinnamon

1 tube refrigerated biscuits

1/2 c. apple jelly

Melt butter in bowl. stir brown sugar and cinnamon together. Cut biscuits into 4 pieces, each.

Put cut up biscuits into large bowl and drizzle with melted butter. Stir to coat. Sprinkle on Brown sugar and cinnamon mix. Stir to coat. Place in 10" skillet or large dish, coated with spray oil. Top with apple jelly. bake 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.

I made this with apple pie filling, and doubled the recipe. It took almost 60 to bake, and was a huge mess to make, but Oh so worth it. the originbal recipe called for putting everything into a plastic bag and shaking it up. DID NOT WORK!

I want to thank Eatathome.com for the recipe.

New Challenges

Hi, Im finally back after the surgery and doing great. Thought it was time I got back into blogging.

I joined a Challenge for organizing my scraproom on 2PeasinaBucket.

So far, the room is OK, I have added a LARGE piece from Cheri. I have it full now, but not sure I like it.

ETA, my room is in an unfinished basement, with cement walls and floors and rafters. UGH

I am looking to add some lighting, but I only have 1 outlet with a multi plug. I'll post more when I actually do the Challenge. LOL

Too Long Gone

Hey, I know it's been awhile but I recently had shoulder surgery. really puts a cramp in the creativity department.

I have 100 images from trades and I really need to get working on some. They are so adorable, I dont what to start first.

More coming soon...
