Tidbits in Teapots

My sister called me up yesterday and asked if I would help her with a project that needed to be done by Saturday...it would involve the use of my Cricut...so of course, I was game!  :)  Before I show you pictures of the finished product, I have to tell you that this was ALL Tammy's idea.  It turned out SUPER adorable and I'm so excited for her to give it away this weekend at a very special party!  Here are the pictures...


Tammy wanted the whole scrapbook to have a Tea Party theme...so we cut out a tea pot for the first page and then used the Cricut to cut out cute little teacups.  Then, we found little tags at Pat Catan's that we used for our "tea bags."


On some of the pages, we printed out quotes and verses and pasted them on the teacups.  On the others, we tucked squares of cream colored paper into the tea cups and attached them to the tea bags with the name of each friend that will be present at the party printed on the tea bag.  The idea is for each friend to pull out the cream card and write a favorite memory about the honored guest (in this case, a friend that is retiring).  They will then be replaced into the book so the recipient can pull them out and read them whenever they want to take a walk down memory lane.  :)





What a fun project!  We had a blast shopping for all of our supplies and attempting to make them into something beautiful while entertaining a 2 year old and a 10 month old!  Lol...it was interesting!  :)  I loved the time with my niece and nephew...and my sister, too!

Scutterbotch Pie

This is totally not on "the list" for this summer, but I've been wanting to try it for awhile, so I'm including it on the blog this week. When I was a kid, my absolute FAVORITE kind of pie was scutterbotch.  Instead of birthday cakes, I would request scutterbotch pie.  My Grandma Lane used to make it for me from time to time just because I loved it.  My Mom made it for holidays and special occasions and it was oh so good!!!  :)  Life happened and I moved away and the scutterbotch pies came less often.  I can't remember the last time I had a piece of scutterbotch pie.  About a month or so ago, I wanted to make it for some reason...can't recall why.  I didn't have the time then, but decided to give it a go today.  It wasn't TOO terribly difficult, although, I resisted the urge to call my mom in the middle of my pie-making endeavor when I read "brown the butter and brown sugar over medium-high heat" and thought to myself, "BROWN the BROWN

Christmas 2013

Another Christmas has come and gone...why does it always go so fast?!?!?  I was grateful to be off this Christmas so I could enjoy the day with my family.  I kicked off the morning with my parents and a delicious pan of caramel french toast!  YUM!!!  Then, the rest of the family arrived and we enjoyed a feast of food before diving into all the presents that were under the tree.  The kids were lots of fun to watch as the opened all their gifts...here are a few snapshots of the chaos fun... Cooper being his usual ornery self Lily Ann and her Mama Lily Ann and Ruthie opening presents Cooper is really getting into this present thing! Lily got a barbie! Luke was so funny...he opened one gift and then played with it for 30 minutes before returning to open another... I think he was saying, "Oh WOW!" in response to a toy that made noises...and then he would grab his cheeks in disbelief!  :)  It was hilarious! Cooper liked patting Baby John on t

Thank You

I FINALLY made it back to the craft room tonight to stretch my brain a little and create something new and wonderful!  :)  After being laid up for a week after some medical stuff, I have a new appreciation for the health I normally enjoy...and an appreciation for friends and family who took the time to deliver yummy meals, delectable cookies, and beautiful flowers (that came complete with a big hug from my adorable niece)!  Now that the pain is subsiding and my body is healing, I'm thanking the Lord for the way He created our bodies to bounce back so quickly and completely.  And I'm also thanking all the awesome people who made time to take care of me over the last week or so with some special handmade cards! These cards were made possible by the Walk in my Garden cricut cartridge.  I just love all the little flower designs that are included on that cartridge.  There are even lady bugs, butterflies, and caterpillars!!  I can't wait to make a few more cards using some o
