Project 57 - Decorated Vinyled Garage Door

Ohhh my goodness....

I have been working on a Christmas project for the family and I totally spaced.  

I haven't been out of the house for days and I completely forgot to post this!  

I decorated my garage door again....

Here it is.....

Project 56 - The Best Cookies in the World!

Oh my goodness,  you guys have got to try making these!!!  I found this recipe over  at Kerry's Blog.  They are the easiest cookies I have ever make, and the best tasting I have EVER tasted!!  I made them for my neighbors and friends!  Here is the recipe:
Praline Strip
1 cup real butter not margarine.
1 cup brown sugar (firmly packed)
1 cup chopped Pecans.  I purchase the whole Pecans and chop the up myself.

Approx. 24 Graham Crackers...enough to cover the cookie sheet.

1. Line a cookie sheet with tin foil.  Spread out Graham Crackers, splitting them into halves and/or quarters, to cover the entire sheet. 

2. Bring to boil: 1 cup butter & 1 cup brown sugar.  Once it reaches a boil, simmer for 2 minutes.

 

3. Add 1 cup chopped pecans and stir.

4. Remove from heat and pour mixture over the Graham Crackers. Spread evenly.
5. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 5 minutes.

Mixture will start to spread out over the Graham Crackers in the heat.

Allow to cool completely, then break apart. 

 I lay them on a clean dish towel to get rid of some of the butter. 

All done.....Wrapped and ready to go!

Project 55 -Happy Holidays.....

Happy Monday.......Wow...4 more days left until Christmas.  Where did the time go?  Did everyone get their Christmas shopping done yet?  Not me... I'm hoping by tomorrow!

Busy Bug Babble- HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US!!

 17 Years!!  

I am so thankful for all that I have. 

 I am so thankful for you, my Dear Husband, who puts up with all of my hobbies.  Thanks Hon, for the best 17 YEARS!

Project 54 - Car Vinyl Completion....

Ok....so I know I posted this pic of my car, 

all dressed up for the holidays.  

There was one thing I didn't put on there because

 it was a little too early when I first put the vinyl on.  

So, since we only have 7 DAYS  till Christmas.....

I decided to complete it with my greeting. 

"MERRY CHRISTMAS"!!!.   

What do you think?

Project 53 - Santa Says Ho.Ho.Ho..

I've been playing with this product called Liquid Applique'.  

It's a nice thing to use when doing  a 3D effect on your project. 

 It applies like a liquid, then you use your heating tool 

and it gets real puffy.  

Check out my 

Santa!

I made my own glitter paper...and it doesn't make a mess!  I'll post a video on how I make my own glitter paper real soon!
