Hey everyone!!!! I am so excited that I finally fixed the problem I was having with Blogger!!!! This post was originally supposed to go up yesterday, but my photos wouldn't upload because apparently I have reached my storage limit... I've been hearing that this has been happening to a lot of people lately, so not really sure what's going on with that... It wouldn't let me upgrade my storage space because I was using Internet Explorer, so when I switched to using Firefox as my browser, it let me! YAHOO!!!! Okay, here is the project that was supposed to be posted yesterday for Joy's Life! Our theme was to make a gift box/bag...
Sweet Tooth Boxes- box and lid cut at 10.5"
Tags, Bags, Boxes & More- tag cut at 3.12"
Christmas cartridge- snowflakes cut at 3.59", 2.29", 1.59" Joy's Life Stamps- Wintery Puns
MS crystal fine glitter
Rhinestones
Okay, there it is! I'm so glad I resolved my Blogger issue!!!! :) Thanks for stopping by!
Hello everyone! I do not have a project for you today, but I wanted to announce that my niece, Sophie, has finally arrived!!!! :) She was born on 11/12/12 and she is the cutest little thing!!! I figured since today marks her being one week old, it was time to post a pic or two... My niece, Chloe, is adjusting really well and she LOVES her baby sister (and she thinks it's pretty cool being a big sis)!
I am the proudest Aunt in the world! :)
I love this picture! So cute that big sis is already looking after little sis...
Awwwww!
Okay, since Thanksgiving is this week I figured I would share one of my favorite pie recipes with you! I love baking, and I have been designated the "family baker", so my job is to bring desserts to our holiday celebrations. This pie is always a hit, so enjoy!!!
To Make Crust: In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt and white sugar. Cut butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually sprinkle the water over the dry mixture, stirring until dough comes together enough to form a ball.
On a floured surface flatten dough ball with rolling pin. Roll out into a circle that is one inch larger than pie dish. Place pie shell into dish and refrigerate until pie filling is complete.
To Make Pie Filling: In a medium bowl, mix together eggs, light and dark corn syrups, brown sugar, butter, salt and finely crushed pecans. Spread quartered pecans over bottom of refrigerated pie crust. Pour syrup mixture over top of pecans, then arrange pecan halves on top of pie.
Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for one hour or until firm; let cool for one hour before serving.

I love Christmas!!! This is such a fun time of year, and I am looking forward to making homemade hot chocolate, decorating the tree, looking at lights, singing Christmas songs, etc., etc., etc.!!!! I also like to give a little something to my co-workers, and I think some Post-It's, hand sanitizer, yummy treats, etc. would fit perfectly into this little bag! :) This bag is also featuring Joy's BRAND NEW stamp set: Oh Christmas Puns!
