SCA3C21 Misty Shadow Leaf

The new Smoky Shadow color from PTI was long awaited, I can't wait to start using some. If you have not gotten your orders yet it is always okay to sub any card stock from another company that is close to the weekly PTI Perfect Match Colors.



My scan does not show the two rows of Aqua Mist stamping but they are there. IRL I love this card hope my Dad will also. Jan, Don't let him see ;) I can finally mark off my to do list of inking up my Simply Stationary Set from PTI, this is the first set I have purchased and had no time to use.



I have such a goodie for you stop back on Tuesday to see my Cricut Design Studio Take on PTI's Take Along Tote...best of all it is FREE and you can use it in the upcoming blog hop on the 25th. What a Happy Stamp Day!
You will need the following...

You can get a free download of the Raspberry Fizz Mix DP {HERE}

(My other camera totally felt like my right hand, this one is going to take some getting used to.) I purchased the Kodak Easy Share Camera, mainly because I still wanted to use my photo printer and it did not have a moving lens. (The lens is what messed up on my old version, not sure yet if this was the right decision.)


Well I am finally tired to off to catch some zzz's.

Happy Stamp Day!

On Sunday I took the girls to town. I actually made it out of Mikes' with an unused 50% coupon. What I went in for (Armour Etch) was sold out I snooped around for a bit and we left, I was so proud of myself. Now for a rant...Every time I go to that store they are out of what I went in for, EVERY TIME! Not to mention the store was an unorganized mess and there are never enough cashiers.

Happy Stamp Day!

We were explaining to Grandpa and Grandma on Saturday how we cooked up a pork loin here is how it was done...
Bavarian Pot Roast

3 to 4 lbs pot roast (we like it with Pork loin or Pork roast, we did not like it with the beef)
1T veg oil
1t salt
1/2t ground ginger
1/8t black pepper
3 whole cloves (I have powder and just use a small amount, don't know the exact)
4 med apples cored and quartered
2 to 3 med onions quartered
1/2 cup apple cider or juice (or water) we like it with apple cider
Rub roast with oil and spices, place in crock pot with the cider. Place apples and onions on the roast and slow cook all day.

The girls and I love it, DH finds it a bit on the sweet side if you don't want it as sweet use water in place of the apple cider or apple juice. Let us know if you give it a try it is a great winter hearty meal.

I am taking our oldest DD back to the specialist this AM for her Knee, I will let you know how things turn out in Tuesday's post.

Happy Stamp Day!
