Another inspiration...

I just love the inspiration I get from all the sketch blogs I find. Here is another one from Sketches! by Tamara. When I saw this sketch, I just couldn't not do it. I've had these pictures for a while now and didn't know what to do with so many of them! This sketch worked out great!

Scrapbook of 2006 is finished!

Wow, I can't believe that I have 2006 done. I'm so happy. I've had that goal for a long time now!

This first one was inspired by a new website I found. 52 Sketches...52 weeks. Check it out. It is a great website with a cool forum and awesome prizes!

The other ones are just ones that came from my head. Not as cute, but I still love them!

I'm not sure why those last two won't change direction. Oh well!! It's time for bed!

Thank you cards...

I made these sets of Thank You cards for another gift for our Enrichment Gift Exchange. Thought it was a good time of year to have thank you notes around! I just love my cricut for quick cards like these!

This last one was once again inspired by Sketches!

I'm really loving the inspiration from her website!

Christmas in the air...

Here are a few Christmas projects i've been working on. No wonder I'm not getting any scrapbooking done. I just made the board a few days ago, I have had the stockings done previously!

This is for our Relief Society Enrichement Party and the 'homemade' gift exchange we are doing with it.

My mom and I made this over Thanksgiving break! I love it and the kids love the lights!

Hair bows

I went to a few craft fairs over the last week and bows were everywhere. I've been wanting to make some for Jenna, but since we don't have too much hair still, we have to do smaller bows. I got lots of great ideas for bows. I came home right after one of the fairs and made some up right then. I think they turned out cute!!

Yahoo..i was featured!!

A few posts back I posted that I had found my inspiration from the blog Sketches! by tamara and my page got featured!! I was pretty excited. I love what I can get from that blog!!

Peep Jar Instructions

Ingredients in the Jar:
--Reduce 1 sleeve graham crackers (approx 1 1/3 c.)to crumbs and layer 2/3 of the crumbs in a 1 qt. jar.
--Place 8 marshmallow bunny peeps "or whatever peeps are good for the season"standing up, facing out around the inside of the jar pressing them against the glass, but don’t squash them.
--Carefully, spoon remaining crumbs in the center of the jar to support the bunnies, pressing down to keep it snug.
--On top of this pour 1 ½ c. Easter M&M’s "or the current holiday"
--Decorate the lid of the jar however you please…tie curly ribbons around the neck of the jar.

Directions: (this is what you give with the jar) Empty the jar contents into a bowl and add 1/3 C brown sugar. Snip the bunnies into bits with kitchen sheers or cut up with a knife. Return the bunny bits to the mixture and mix well. Melt ½ c. butter, add 1 t. vanilla. Pour this over the dry ingredients, mixing well. Pat into a greased 8x8 baking dish. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Cool and cut into bars.
*Option: leave the bunnies whole; combine remaining ingredients and place the bunnies on top; then bake as directed
