New Products for Spring

Well my blog is back up but not the way it was. I still have to get the banner bigger and centered and my side bars are not extended as far as they need to be but at least it is almost all there. The blogger team has made some changes and I am finding out I really need to sit down and learn some of these changes. It is kind of hard when I do not know half of what I am doing but I will learn by trial and error. I actually think that is the best way to teach myself.

CHA is over and there are tons of HOT new product coming out! I have been checking out some of the products and honestly I want want want!

If you would like to check out the new products just click here. Scrapbook Update has pictures of all the new scrap goodies!

I LOVE butterflies and Pink Paislee has come out with a beautiful line called Butterfly Garden. Wait until you see all of the pretties to go along with it! And if one line is not good enough I can get a double dose with Bo Bunny's line Gabrielle. I think I am in love! LOL

If you have not seen the new dies from Spellbinders you can check them out right here.

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~
