So Proud

Hi everyone,

Just a short post today.

I want to share my grandson's school pictures.

This one is my favorite!!

I am so proud of him!!

Hayden brought his report card home.

In Florida he was getting all F's and D's.

But now his first report card is 1 D, and his teacher says that has come up to a C all ready, and the rest, all 9, are B's.

 Great report card sweetie!!

Mamaw loves you!!

Thank you for stopping by and sharing my joy. If you like please share a little love with him.

Have a great day.

Butterflies And Flowers

Hi Everyone,

Today I am going to make a thank you card. Crafter's Companion

has all kinds of

paper products, and I am going to use the Morehead-Fancy-Scalloped-Rocker-Cards-Kit

Here is my project.

I started out with a heavy piece of

card stock, and covered it with some wall paper samples I found in one of the many books I have. ( you can get the old books at any wall paper place, they just throw them away).

Then I picked out one of the pretty pictures

to play with. I arranged them on the card,

added some flowers and a bow, and the front is done.

For the inside I covered the card with

matching wall paper and added the sentiment.

Now how easy this that !!

Faster than going to the store, and so much more personal.

I hope you enjoyed the project today.

Pop over to the Crafter's Companion Store

and check it out.

Thank you so much for stopping by

today and taking a look.

And as always have a scrappy day.

Sunday Dinner

Hi Everyone,

Today I have something for you

that is oh so Yummy!!

" Little Mac N Cheese Pies "



These were so easy to make.

First you need to make your favorite

Mac n Cheese.

You will also need:

1 package pie crust, two in a pack.

1 egg beaten for the egg wash

and

any kind of shape cookie cutter.

I used a pie mold cutter.

I purchased mine from William Sonoma.

You can also just make circles and fold in half.

Taste just as good!!:)

The recipe I used for my Mac n Cheese

I box Kraft Mac n Cheese made as directed.

Then I added

1/4 cup cheddar cheese powder

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup Hormel real Bacon bits.

and

salt and pepper to taste.

Let set until cool.

Here is how I put them together.

This is the mold open.

                                       Closed

                        Stamp out dough.

Place in mold.

   Fill with Mac n cheese, then close and press until sealed. Then brush with egg wash.
                                 

I didn't  get a picture of the unbaked ones, sorry! They were in the oven when I realized I had forgotten to take the picture, LOL!!!

Place on non stick baking sheet sprayed with Pam. Bake at 350 for 12 to 15 minutes.

Serve hot.

They also heat back up very well

if there are any left lol.:):)

Place on plate with a salad and a glass

of cold iced tea and done.

Makes about 7 from the 2 dough rounds.

I hope you try this recipe, it is so good.

It's also a great snack for the kiddos when they get home from school.

Like a hot pocket only better.

Thank you so much for stopping by today.

And have a great Sunday!!

Merry Christmas Snow Globe

Hi Everyone,

Today I am showing you one more

of the Crafter's Companion's

paper crafting kits.

This one is from the

Mulberry-Wood-Classic-Christmas-Luxury-Card-Collection

And it is a very large kit! Pop over to see all the items you get in this package.

This is the card I made:

The background card stock came

with the kit. I folded it into 3rds to make a

trifold card, so it opens from the back.

On the front I added the snow globe

punch out along with the sentiment

and the snowflakes. Then I just added

the bow at the top and the flowers at the

bottom, a little glitter in the globe area

and done. So easy and fast!!

These kits are amazing!!

I hope you take a minute to pop

over to the Crafter's Companion site

and check out all the wonderful kits

they have to work with.

Thank you so much for stopping by today.

And have a scrappy day.

Letter To Santa

Hi Everyone,

I know today is Halloween, and it is still many moons until Christmas, but my grandson has

been wanting to write his letter to Santa.

I made this card to help him along.

I love the stamps I used for this card.

For the front of the card I used a

stamp from the

Paintbox-Poppets-Winter-Collection

called " Letters to Santa ".

This stamp will be released later, so

keep an eye out for it over on the

Crafter's Companion  website.

The inside stamp I embossed in gold

on one side of the card and  put the list tag on the other. This stamp is called Linear-Baubles,

and is from the

Stamp it Australia-Stamp-It-Holiday Collection.

I think he will have a lot of fun making his list

and mailing it to Santa.

I hope you enjoyed the card today.

Thank you so much for stopping by and taking a look.

And have a scrappy day.
