Waste Not Recipe Swap

I joined a recipe swap and the rules were that you had to use leftovers in the recipe and you had to use two different recyclables (otherwise known as trash) on your recipe card. This is what I came up with:

CIMG3571

The only supplies I used was cardstock. I cut the bear, the bowl and the chopsticks out with my Cricut, using the Create-A-Critter cartridge. For recyclables, the plate is actually a soup can lid and the sushi is made out of twist ties. This was a lot of fun.

It's My Blogaversary!

I started this blog one year ago, today! Though I have neglected it a few times, I really do love my blog and love that I have a place to share my creations, my thoughts and brag about my kids a little bit. So, in honor of my one year anniversary, I have some blog candy to give away! In order to win it, you need only leave me a comment. Tell me one thing you have enjoyed about my blog in the past year. If you are new to my blog, give me one piece of advice on making it a better blog!

I do not have a picture of the blog candy, and in fact, will be adding to it (I may even have more than one winner), but I can guarantee it will be a very sweet treat!

Happy Birthday, Jaxon!

Today, my nephew, Jaxon, is three. He is crazy about trains and as I looked through my stamps, I realized I did not have a single one with trains (must rectify that real soon)! So, I shrunk a coloring page and printed it out and paper pieced it. I am alright with how it turned out. And Jaxon is three, so he really won’t care about the card at all Happy Birthday, buddy! We sure are going to miss you when you move away to Alberta!
