My daughters 20th birthday is coming up soon. It blows my mind everyday how time flies and that she is all grown up. She loves the color green which is very appropriate for the theme of St. Patrick's Day and my card.  When I saw this weeks CAS-ual Friday color-block challenge, all I could see was green and I had to enter. I used 1 sheet of white

Tonight's Supper on Sunday was pork chops with onions, mashed potatoes with corn and brussle sprouts. Personally I just like the flavor of the onions and let someone else have my share. The pork chops were slow cooked on the stove top in a frying pan with just a little olive oil. Meat tenderizer, pepper and a little garlic powder were used for seasoning.  The

I have mentioned before that I always cook a nice family dinner on Sunday's. Since I have been posting most of these recipes I thought I would make it a weekly post and call it Supper on Sunday's. On this weeks menu.... Cheesy Tuna Casserole This Sunday I made my cheesy tuna casserole, most people use cream of mushroom soup for their tuna casserole but I do not like the taste

Hello everyone. It has been a few weeks since I have created a new post. We have had some major family medical issues here and they don't seem to be ending. I can make excuses for not posting but the honest truth is that I didn't have the time or the energy. I apologize and hope to start posting again today. Thanks for understanding.

I love to make a big meal on Sundays. We watch football and have some snacks while dinner is in the oven or crockpot making the entire house smell good all day. Even though we are in the middle of a mini heat wave this weekend I was craving beef stew. It is a very quick and simple recipe. The ingredients include: Stew meat Potatoes Baby carrots Corn Peas Onion Garlic Heinz Beef Gravy I

Well....I accidentally deleted the post of my husbands birthday card. I will try to duplicate it below. My husbands birthday is this week and we celebrated with a nice dinner and  a cake for dessert. I made his card the night before and I just love, love, love it! I used my Sizix Sidekick to make the candles. I used black and yellow paper, then trimmed the flame from the yellow

Looking for a easy, inexpensive snack that is fun for the whole family? Pizza Burgers! These cute little snacks are so simple to make and the kids can help with each step. All you need is hamburger rolls, a jar of pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese and your favorite toppings. If you have small children its a good idea to put everything in small bowls to make it easier

When I woke up this morning I was still feeling the inspiration from the CAS-ual Fridays 10-Minute Craft Dash. Since it is New Years Eve I decided to create this Happy New Year card for my family and friends. I will not be entering this card in the challenge but I just love the idea of the 10-Minute Craft Dash! Check out some of the other cards over at CAS-ual Friday and get inspired.

The new challenge at Case Study  is the last for the year. The muse is Windy Robinson and she has created a beautiful card for inspiration. I used the flowers and the ribbon for my inspiration. When I scrapbook I like to use clean lines and simple designs. My entry card for the Case Study Challenge:  I had a terrible time with the lighting today. We are currently in

What better way to say thank you for your Christmas gifts than a handmade sparkly snowflake card. I like to thank my friends and family right away for the gifts they gave me over the holidays. If I wait too long after Christmas I tend to send them out too late or forget all together. I used glittery and shimmery papers for this card to reflect the way snow

If you are still looking for that one great appetizer for your holiday celebration, it's not too late. Buffalo chicken wing dip is a tasty choice.  Boil 2 to 4 chicken breast (halves) then chop as fine as you want. It can be cut into big chunks or shredded. The ingredients include:      2 bars cream cheese, softened and whipped with a mixer   &

Making sugar cookies with my Nana is something we do every year. She has the best recipe and by using confectioners sugar to roll them out makes them even sweeter. First, you mix the following ingredients together:     1 cup margarine     1 tsp. vanilla     1 cup sour cream     2 cups sugar     2 beaten eggs Then,

We had our Christmas party at work today and one of my coworkers handed out the cutest candy cane sleds to everyone. I work in an office of about 25 people and it is hard to find some small gift that everyone will enjoy. We did a Secret Santa gift exchange so we only had to buy one gift but it was so nice to see this little sled sitting on my desk when I arrived at work this morning.

I love the Christmas Season....I love the music, the lights, the smells and most of all the memories. Some of my favorite childhood memories involve my family's Christmas traditions. One of those was decorating the tree and the house with my dad, which was an all day event. We would listen to Christmas carols and sing along while we created our holiday home. As you can
