Here are a couple of little tid bits for you to enjoy!

Here is a sweeeet treat to make!

Caramel~Covered Corn Chex

1c. Butter 1 large box Corn Chex
1 c. brown sugar 1 large jar dry roasted 1 c. corn syrup peanuts

In a medium pan, melt together the butter, brown sugar and corn syrup. Bring to a boil and let boil for 1 ½ minutes. Take two large brown bags, one inside the other. Place corn chex and peanuts in the inner bag. Pour the syrup mixture over the cereal and peanuts and fold the bag shut. Shake. Microwave for 1 minute; shake. Repeat this process two more times. Place mixture in a bowl and break apart into chunks.

Here is a gift idea for the little ones!
When my three-year-old son opened the birthday gift from his grandmother, he discovered a water pistol. He squealed with delight and headed for the nearest sink. I was not so pleased. I turned to my mom and said, “I’m surprised at you. Don’t you remember how we used do drive you crazy with water guns?” Mom smiled and then replied, “ I remember.”

( I thought this was a cute one for holiday humor! OH, sweet revenge with love!)

T’was the Night Before Christmas~
Not a sign of Baby Jesus

T’was the Night Before Christmas and all through the town not a Sign of Baby Jesus was anywhere to be found. The people were all busy with Christmas time chores like decorating, and baking, and shopping in stores.

No one sang “Away in a manger, no crib for a bed”. Instead, they sang of Santa dressed up in bright red. Mama watched Martha Stewart, Papa drank beer from a tap as hour upon hour the presents they’d wrap.

When what from the TV did they suddenly hear? But an ad… which told of a big sale at Sears. So away to the mall they all flew like a flash buying things on credit and others with cash! And, as they made their way home from their trip to the mall, Did they think about Jesus? Oh, no… not at all. Their lives were so busy with their Christmas time things no time to remember Christ Jesus, the King. There were presents to wrap and cookies to bake. How could they stop and remember who died for their sake? To pray to the Savior they had no time to stop. Because they needed more time to “shop till they dropped!”

On Wal-mart! On K-mart! On Target! On Penny’s! On Hallmark! On Zales! A quick lunch at Denny’s. From the big stores downtown to the stores at the mall they would dash away, dash away, and visit them all!

And up on the roof, there arose such a clatter as grandpa hung icicle lights up on his new ladder. He hung lights what would flash. He hung lights that would twirl. Yet, he never once prayed to Jesus… Light of the World. Christ’s eyes… how they twinkle! Christ’s Spirit… how merry! Christ’s love…. How enormous! All our burdens …. He’ll carry! So instead of being busy, overworked and uptight, Let’s put Christ in Christmas and enjoy some good nights!

Remember Jesus is the reason for the season!

~Peaceful Blessings to You and to Yours~

Check out these Layouts!!!!

Check out this pretty layout from Kathy using the Meadow Lark line from

My Mind's Eye! She wanted to really show off her summer flower picture and it is a beauty! She added some pretty paper flowers that she created out of the same line and added pretty brads from the Lost and Found Collection also from

My Mind's Eye.

Gobble Gobble!!! I just had to show this one off!

I made this layout a few weeks back using the picture that my hubby Mike took on one of his exploring days. He changed the picture to a sepia setting for that old look which I just LOVE!

What was so ironic is that I told Mike that it looked just like the turkey in my paper lines from the hunting, fishing and cabin collections that I carry here at the shop. So I got to work and this is what I came up with. Pretty simple but a statement to make "the turkey" stand out! The proud turkey out for a leisurely strut!

The picture is matted and I used heritage metal photo corners for an old brassy accent. For the leaf die cut I used the Wizard from Spellbinders and aged the leaf with chalk ink from the SEI collection . The saying is from the Nutmeg Collection from Cosmo Cricket and I attached the cut strip with vintage heritage brads.

I do believe that after I am done sharing this sample in the store I will be framing it and hanging it in my woodsy basement. I can actually say that this little turkey will be the one that
"got away" Gobble Gobble!!!!

All the supplies needed to create these sweet layouts are here at the store.



Don't forget to sign up for the upcoming classes! Check them out below!

Scrap Event Rocked!

Sorry it took so long to create this new post but between the Internet being down for over a week and recouping from the event here it is..........

First a big THANK YOU to Sheila, Heidi and my hubby Mike for helping to get the event ready. There was a lot to do but we did it! I think the biggest thanks goes to my hubby though for loading the van and unloading, loading and unloading and carrying all of the heavy items. I think he is working on body building LOL !

Also, thank you to everyone that was able to attend the Scrap Event or that got to stop in and visit. Because of You I am still able to have a these events!

The 2 day event went by so quickly! We were over half filled for Friday night and there was a FULL house with 32 Scrappers for Saturday's event. Boy there was a LOT of scrapping going on! I have posted a few pictures below.

Here is Heidi Blankenship having Demo time! She showed how to use the

Wizard from Spellbinders, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist and JustRite. We ended up having about 20 ladies taking advantage of the Free Demo. There were also some lucky ladies that ended up winning some really nice prizes that Heidi gave away. Heidi has some really beautiful designs and if you would like to see some of her work just click here.

Here are a couple pictures of all the ladies that attended the scrap event. Some moved in for the whole weekend!

Some of the ladies came with friends, some made new friends and I think all of them accomplished a lot of projects. You should of seen the paper flying and tape runners running!

I also had my mini Scrapping on the Go store set up. Lots of new goodies that many of you fell in love with and lots of Hot Buys and sales. This was a great time to get stocked up for summer projects. I think the "hottest deal" was my special paper bin. You could get 6 designed sheets of paper for a buck!

If you have not checked out the left hand side of the blog please have a peek. There are a lot of updates. Some of the shows have been cancelled and I have a new date and new location. Here is the info for the next Scrap Event....

October 23rd and 24th

Fair Lane Building located at the Fairgrounds

Albert Lea, MN

Don't forget to mark your calenders.

I think this location will work out really well because the main thing is that this location is ground level. I know this will make it a lot easier for the rolling totes! Plus there is more room so nobody should have to be put on a waiting list! I am so excited that I was finally able to get in on the reservation!

I realize it will be awhile before the next Scrap Event but if you do need any supplies or certain papers that I carry just give me a call at

507-391-1314

Over the summer remember to

Create a Memory ~ Scrap a Keepsake

It's HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tomorrow is the Big DAY!

YAAAA the Scrap Event is FINALLY here!

I know many of you are excited to get together with your friends and to get all of you Winter/Holiday pages done.

If you noticed I started changing my blog a bit. I will hunt for

sites that have blog candy give aways and this is a

FANTASTIC opportunity to meet some VERY talented Artists!

They have lots of great ideas and tips that they share and their

designs are just WONDERFUL!
