You have GOT to try this recipe!

On Wednesday night we always do a crock pot meal. We are so busy on Wednesday evenings with church that I don't have time for supper. I happened upon Robin Miller's show on Food Network and she was using a slow cooker and made this chicken gumbo. Ya'll it is the best thing that has come out of my crock pot in a looong time! You must try it!

I have the best friends!

Do you have girlfriends that you just love? These are mine. We are a mish mash of people a Doctor,a Worship Leader, a Homeschool Mom, a PTA activist, and SAHM but when we get together it is tons of laughter and LOTS of great food! There are actually 8 of us but the five of us are the travelers-we leave the kids with the husbands and hit the road. This weekend we are headed to Big Canoe for a scrapbooking retreat. I will miss Daddy blueberry and the kiddos but it is wonderful to go away and scrapbook with friends. I am so blessed to have a husband that will hold down the fort so I can go away with my friends and "reboot".

March Stamp club is coming up Saturday!

This Saturday we meet for Stamp Club. I never update my blog unless it's time for Stamp Club anymore-LOL! This month's theme is Crazy for Cupcakes! That's the set we'll be using. We will be coloring all the images using a blender pen and Stampin Pastels.

This is a money holder.It is a flat card-the second pacific point layer is adhered to a 3x3 envelope. You can find Dawn's tutorial for it in her archieves (follow the link -> to Dawn's Stampin' Studio). I wanted to do a boy option.











This one uses the Always Desinger Paper. And the large cupcake-I love this stamp!









And another one from Dawn. This is a Spring card. She has a link on You Tube that she'll walk you through it.








These are the hostess gifts for Relo. The smaller cards are 3 x3 I just love these little cards!
