Sun with a Mug – Stampin’ Up! Card

1 Comment

Sun with a MugHello there,

I woke needing lots of tea to get moving on this cool Autumn morning so, I decided to stamp about my feelings, lol.  Don’t you just love that we can do that with our stamps?

I teamed up two wonderful stamp sets for this project, Sheltering Tree and Hug in a Mug for a non-Halloween Autumn Card.  We all need some of those!

You will love how this one comes together.

Signs of Christmas – Stampin’ Up! Card

Signs of Christmas

The Stampin’ Up! Festive Phrases stamp set, 144960 has stamps that will take you through 3 holidays, that’s a super value.  I used the super cute elf image and placed him at the North Pole for this Christmas card.  He sure reminds me of the dentist from the holiday film Rudolf with his blond hair.

Kitchen Share – The Best Freezer Garlic Bread

8 Comments

Boy you just never know what you will find here on blog.  Sorry, I just love to share.DSC_0004

I just came into my craft room to start stamping and I decided to share with you what I just made in the kitchen.  This is something I always keep on hand and you will too if you try it.  It’s Freezer Garlic Bread.  So easy to make and it is so good.  It’s made up in slices so you only take out of the freezer what you will use so there is no waste.  🙂

DSC_0001_edited-30

Ever see those loaves of 16 inch Italian Bread at the store on sale.  Snatch a few of them up.  I picked these up from Sam’s Club today.  Sometimes you can get second day loaves of Italian bread for 50 cents each.  This is a great recipe to use with those.

DSC_0002_edited-111

This is what you will mix together for the spread for 1 loaf:

1 stick (8 Tbsp) Salted Butter at room temperature

2 Tbsp Olive Oil

4 Cloves Garlic (I used the mince garlic in the jar)

1/4 tsp Salt

1 Tbsp dried Parsley

 

DSC_0003_edited-114

Stir your spread items together and slice your bread into 1″ thick slices and put the spread on one side of each.  Go ahead and slather it on!

DSC_0004

I freeze mine by putting 4 pieces in a quart freezer bag and then put all of my quart bags in a 2 gallon bag and then in the freezer they go.

To cook the frozen slices of garlic bread, preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Take as many slices out of the freezer as you would like and place them on a baking sheet.  Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.  Delicious!

Thanks for stopping by. . . . .I will be back with a stamping project soon.

Huge Hugs,

Honey Harvest – I Love My Bees

10 Comments

Screen Shot 2017-09-27 at 5.07.57 PM

Yet another hobby to chat about.. . . . . . never a dual moment here!

Being a new beekeeper I was thrilled to extract our very first batch of honey from our hives yesterday.  Just look at it, 4 quarts of the purest clover honey.

Screen Shot 2017-09-27 at 5.15.57 PM

This is what a frame of capped honey looks like.  I got to process 8 1/2 frames and it taste better than any other honey I’ve ever tasted, probably because I have such an investment in it, time and money.  🙂

Screen Shot 2017-09-27 at 5.16.15 PM

Normally you don’t get to keep any of the honey your new bees make in the first year because they may need it to get through the Winter, but one of our new hives is extra strong and made an additional box full.  I also got to harvest our first bees wax too.  I’m looking forward to making something from it this Winter.  I’m so excited!

DSC_0002_edited-110

This is my bees cleaning up the honey left in the  bowls I used during the extraction and what was left in the frames in the bee box.  No waste!

Helping the bees survive is sure rewarding.  🙂  If you are thinking about becoming a beekeeper, please do, the bees need us.

Thanks for stopping by. . . . .

Huge Hugs,

Brightly Lit Christmas – Stampin’ Up! Card

2 Comments

Brightly Lit Christmas

There is something very inviting about a lit lamp post so it makes it a perfect subject for the front of a Christmas Card.  The Brightly Lit Christmas stamp set has all kinds of fun stamp elements to make your lamp post extra special too.  I used the bow for that pop of red.  I also added a well traveled path in the snow.  🙂  This card is 4″ x 9″ and fits perfectly in a #10 sized business envelope.

Naked Chickens? It Just Might Be Fall

11 Comments

DSC_0009

I’ve been getting so many inquiries about the girls (hens) lately that I thought I better give you a chicken update.  🙂  Here in Ohio we get a wonderful change of seasons, for Fall the leaves on the trees change color and fall to the ground, the fields turn golden and we have warm days and cool nights.   This is also the time for molting.  Molting you ask?  Yep Molting!  That’s when you see half naked chickens running around in the chicken yard.  They are ashamed of how they look so you will see them running out of the picture frame like in the above shot (top left), lol.

DSC_0017

This is poor JoJo, she is usually so beautiful but right now she is missing half of her feathers, including all of her tail feathers..  During molting a whole lot of their feathers fall out and beautiful new ones come in.  It looks painful and I try not to pick them up if I don’t have to.

When their new feathers poke through the skin they have a little waxy cap on the end that they pick off and leave laying everywhere.  Now doesn’t that look painful!  Kinda makes me ashamed I complain about shaving my legs.

The entire chicken yard is covered in feathers, it looks like a real massacre has happen here.  Just imagine trying to rake feathers into a pile to clean up with a slight breeze blowing, lol.

Egg productions stops for the chickens that are molting since they are using all of their energy to make new feathers.  I hardly blame them for taking a break.

Only half of the flock is on breaks so we are still getting the most delicious fresh eggs.  MMMM

While we are on the subject of eggs, did you know they come in all colors, sizes and shapes, lol.  Yep, they are not all uniform in size like in those cartons at the store.  Check out the brown oblong one in the photo above.  It is so long the lid on the egg carton will not shut over it..  It is probably a double yoker, bonus!

Well that is what is happening right outside my door.

Thanks for stopping by. . . . .

Huge Hugs,

Snow Owl

Heck yay, I used the owl from the Stampin’ Up! Spooky Cat stamp set in a Christmas Card, lol.  Just look how cute it is a snow owl and it gives you even more chances to use that stamp set, fabulous!

I teamed the owl up with the Seasonal Layers Thinlits Dies for the branch and the snowflakes and my favorite embossing folder, Cable Knit for that cozy touch.
