Well Dang!



A while back I received some blog awards, but life around here preparing for the upcoming Christmas holiday has been so chaotic, I COMPLETELY missed thanking those who honored me with this award. I've met quite a few amazing people here in blogland and they don't come better than the three who gave me this award.... "THANK YOU" to :

I so appreciate that you guys think my blog is Stylish... especially since all of your blogs blow mine out of the water!!!! If all of you get a chance, be sure to check out their AWESOME blogs for some REAL style!!!

So, as part of this award I have to pass it on to 8 blogs and tell 8 things about myself... here goes! 8 Things about me:

  1. I LOVE to laugh.
  2. I LOVE to make other people laugh.
  3. I'm rarely funny when I'm trying to be.
  4. I can't tell jokes because I laugh too hard while trying to tell them which then causes me to forget parts of the joke and usually the entire punchline.... which, in and of itself, is pretty funny.
  5. I try VERY hard not to take myself or others too seriously.
  6. I believe that those who have to be offended are offensive.
  7. I believe that we search in vein for healing (as we are already equipped with that) and that the true search needs to be for the proper environment and the right circumstances to heal.
  8. I believe in God and that Jesus has blessed me with real happiness.

WHEW! Now for some REALLY stylish bloggers:

Past 7 Days....

So Lame

So over at Paper Vineyard, the challenge was to create a birthday project and it COULDN'T be a card.  I've personally been creating WAY too many cards lately so I was happy to try my hand at something new..... only I didn't. :(  Instead, I was busy preparing for last week's Cricut Swarm.  Now, while I missed creating a project specifically for our Birthday Non-Card challenge, I figured the cupcake box that I made would fit the bill PERFECTLY for a birthday-themed project.  The box also has an insert for a cupcake to fit inside.  I made it with my Cricut (cuz of the whole Cricut Swarm bit) and while I ADORE this box, I sort of had a little melt down making it and I decided that this is the last Provo Craft product I will ever buy.... let me share why (read through to find out the cartridge I used for this project)! Most of you know that I DESPISE Provo Craft.  I hate that the Cricut is a one-of-kind product that I loved....

My Seriously Yummy Concoction!!

The Magic Bullet has yet to fail me!!! I LOVE it! I whipped up this ultra healthy mousse in seconds, and the mint came straight from the garden. Yay! Here's how I made it. Danielle's Heavenly Mousse 1 small container of low fat vanilla yogurt (I prefer Yoplait Light) 2 heaping tablespoons of Knudson Free cottage cheese 1 tablespoon of Amaretto flavored Agave Nectar 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon 2-3 peeled and pitted organic figs (optional) In Magic Bullet container combine above ingredients. Attach flat whipping blade and mix until mousse has formed (about 45 seconds). That's it. If you are using figs (which will create a thicker mouse after it sets in the fridge and will require longer blending time), be sure that they are room temperature before blending. Blend with chopping blade, remove and attach flat whipping blade until smooth. Allow to set in fridge at least 30 minutes before serving. This thing is quick and incredibly yummy! Here is the pic of the ingredients I used. Cl...

Gorgous Leaves Bundle Revisited

Yestday's Freebie Friday on a Monday projects were so fun and this set is SO BEAUTIFUL in it's simplicity!  It reminds me of a long-retired stamp set from Stampin Up!.  I was inspired to re-create the projects that I made with it once upon a time.  So here we go.... SIMPLE projects when you need a quick "hello" or an even quicker heartfelt sympathy card: I was DEFINITELY on a Bumblebee and Cajun Craze kick yesterday!  I can't stop/won't stop!  LOL!  To be fair... I had extra leaves die cut and didn't want anything to go to waste!  A quick speckle backdrop in Bumblebee then a quick "hello" greeting from the Biggest Wish in Cajun Craze with the Cajun Craze leaf popped up on a Basic White cardbase.  PERFECTION! Okay, as with yesterday's projects, the sentiment is from the recently retired SAB Delicate Dahlia's set, but you could use ANY sympathy sentiment you have in your stash.  Unlike in the past when I had to mask off the center rectangle...
