Cooking Mama

Liz has a favorite game for her DS it is Cooking Mama and she has her eyes on Crafting Mama.  

Girl after my  heart for sure;)  

This summer we are turning her fun and games into REALITY.  She will be creating our favorite foods and scrapping them for the future.  When my Mother Died I really missed her in the kitchen.  I was married and a new Mom and I needed to know her secrets.  My Dad and his wife Jan must have gotten tired of my phone calls Mom's recipe for this and that and how she did this etc.  Then for Christmas Jan gave  us kids a cookbook with my Mom's recipes the most wonderful gift ever. 

Here is Elizabeth's Chinese Chicken Plated.  Looks YUMMY!

Here is the Scrapbook Recipe page for the Chinese Chicken.  Hey, I found a use for Cricut Pagoda.  YES!  Love the bowl and chopsticks just as YUMMY as the dish;)

We are using a template in Works for the recipe that we we can print more off as needed.  Click on the pic to enlarge for your copy.

Happy Stamp Day.  God Bless.

Springtime Cherry Blossoms Abound

So want to get to DC and view this splendor.  I have been there before not in spring and not in this part of town.  If it is anything as fragrant as Honeysuckle and Magnolia in the south it has to be wonderful.  

Today I am taking you on a little web tour of some of 

my favorite places and Cherry Blossom Goodies.

Enjoy;)

Cherry Blossom Girl by AirTook two days and one huge mess to get this single creation made.  I was having trouble with the design.  I so wanted to use the Cricut Pagoda cartridge but my ideas were not working out in paper.  My Sister no doubt is laughing away at this point;)  We passed around a SU sellabration set for years that neither of us wanted.  I did not give up I kept working at it every time I passed by I tweaked something and this is the final product...



I cut the branch in PTI kraft and blossoms out in pink pirouette and rose red.  Next I pulled the layers apart and crumpled them up.  Stacked and crumpled more then placed a gem in the center.I used this download to create the card above printed out on Pirouette Pink, Rose Red and Wild Wasabi.
