Every Day Counts!

So when you are awoken an hour before your alarm on a Sunday morning, obviously you accept it, and go put a page together!

Today I used a sketch from Scrap Much?, and I really love how it turned out!

I never use stitching on my pages, but I really enjoyed it here, and it didn't take as long as I thought it would! This is my sweet, great-grandmother & my newborn on Thanksgiving. She is his great, great-grandmother!

Supplies:

Maroon Cardstock - The Paper Studio
Brown dot paper - unidentified, stash bought at garage sale

My grandmother passed away the other day, and today is her funeral. That's this sweet lady's little girl, so she could use some extra prayers today, please!

Thank you for looking!

I made things

Last night I made two things: a shirt and dinner.
One turned out better than the other...

First, my shirt:



thanks to Ruffles and Roses

I did leave out the ruffles, but the roses are there. Lace bias tape replaced the ruffle. It isn't too bad for about 1.5 hour or less work.

Second, and better of the two:



Bacon Wrapped Cheese Filled Jalepinos. Thanks to my Grandma for the idea!
How to:

cut pepper in half, remove seeds.
mix cream cheese with cheddar cheese, add a dash of garlic.
fill pepper shells.
wrap with one half piece of bacon.
bake at about 450 degrees until bacon crispy, probably about 15-20 minutes.
