For Brendan

This card is for my grandson Brendan who is celebrating his 12th. birthday today. Happy Birthday Brendan! Where oh where did the time go?!?! When did you become a "preteen"? Yikes!



Brendan is into music big time...he has a guitar and he even has shoulder length hair. This image from AMuse "Rock Star" is the perfect image for his birthday card. I colored it in with my prismapencils and ran it through the oval nesties. Popped it up on SU! pop dots. I added a little bling for the rock star. *grin*
The blue card stock is SU!. And the patterned paper is by AMuse.
Cute card and I think it fits Brendan perfectly.

I just have one last batch of cookies to make/bake and I'm finished baking....whew. These are my all time favorite cookie and I only bake them once a year. Once you read the recipe you will know why...they are definitely not the most healthy cookie. But ohhhh so good! *grin*


Orange Coconut Drops


2 C. sugar 1 C. butter
3 eggs
1 tsp. each salt & baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla 1 tsp. orange extract
3 1/2 C. flour 1 1/2 C. flaked coconut


In large bowl combine all ingredients
except flour and coconut.
Beat at low speed, scraping side of
bowl often, until well mixed.
By hand stir in flour and coconut
until well mixed. Drop by rounded
teaspoonfuls 2" apart on greased
cookie sheets. Bake near center of
350 oven for 8 to 12 minutes until
golden brown on bottom of cookie.


I wish you all a Wonderful Blessed Christmas!

Sister Kathy's Recipes

Yes Kathy....I do have a Sweet Potato Casserole recipe! LOL If you have a pot luck coming up or a family gathering...you have got to try this recipe!!! It is soooo good!
I used SU! paper, stamps and ink for this 6x6 recipe. Recipe was printed from my computer. I just used my fiskars decorated scissors (remember those?) for the bottom edge of the garden green CS. Just gives it an added touch. Ohhh I just love the Print Pack Papers of level 1 hostess gifts! And I've used quite a few of these sheets on the recipe pages.
This next recipe I haven't made yet...but Kathy says it's so good! Guaranteed to go right to your thighs. *grin*

For this recipe page I used Bazzill paper. I love the new Bloomin' Beautiful set by SU!...I used my watercolor crayons by SU! to color the flowers and pot. This looks good and is so easy. Punched it with my scallop punch and back with a Creative Memories circle. Added eyelets with the Cropadile.
Hope you all have enjoyed seeing some of my family favorite recipes.

Some Recipes Pages

I've been working on a 6x6 family recipe book for the past week as part of a wedding gift. I emailed my sisters and asked if they would send me some of their favorite family recipes. I'm just going to post a few and hope you all enjoy the recipes. This first recipe was submitted by my sister Terry...the mother of the groom.




I'll come back in later today and post some details.
