In the Holiday Mood~

Perhaps you would like to take in some beautiful Christmas music this Holiday Season. Here are a couple of options that I am involved in.
The first is a concert that I do not have a poster for.

The Cape Breton Orchestra & Cantabile
Date: November 27th, 2011
Time: 7pm
Place: St. Andrew's Church, 40 Bentinck St. Sydney
This will be a fantastic show!

The second concert I do have a poster for.

A Busy Couple of Weeks~

These first couple of weeks of November have been so busy, that I have neglected my Blog a little. So sorry about that! So what have I been doing? I attended two Crops and had a great time at each. Plus got a lot of pages done for myself. I've tried some new recipes and I have the house almost completely decorated for Christmas!
Here are a few layouts that I had created from the recent Crops.

Excited for Christmas!!

It would be an understatement if I were to say that I am excited to decorate our home for Christmas.
These are some cute little paper ornaments that I made from some left over Stampin' Up patterned paper.

Happy Halloween

Wishing all you little goblins out there a Happy Halloween. This is a layout I created for an upcoming class here in Sydney, NS.
Have a Wonderfully Wicked Weekend and Play Safe!

Layout was created using Basic Grey Ambrosia~ Orange Smoothie. Prima Esprit Black flowers.

Monster Bookmarks

Check out these cute little bookmarks I made from leftover cardstock and patterned paper. Kids LOVE them!

Scrabble Love

I have wanted to do something like this for some time now. So here it is! I LOVE it!

I took what used to be an 8x8 thick canvas with puppies on it from the Dollar Store and covered it with newsprint.

Then I added hand cut hearts and covered the sides with scrapbook paper.

Another Yarn Wreath Creation

Just another yarn wreath I recently created. I thought the purple and teal really complemented each other.

You Make Me Happy

The photo about says it all.
This is an 8.5x11 canvas that I painted and altered. I thought it turned out pretty cute.

Monkey Bread

Who doesn't like the smell of warm cinnamon rolls from the oven. This is my version of Monkey Bread from a couple of different recipes. Easy to make, and such a huge hit at family events where you have people to help you eat it!!

Monkey Bread~      Preheat oven to 350

3 Pkgs of Pilsbury Biscuits (2 Pkgs if they are the Grands)

Mix together in a large ziploc bag:

1/2 Cup Sugar

1 tsp Cinnamon

Mix together in a bowl:

1 Cup Brown Sugar

3/4 Cup Melted Butter

1. Cut each biscuit into 3 and form balls. Coat the balls by shaking them in the ziploc bag. Place in the bundt pan. When you have a single layer of balls pour some of the mixture from the bowl over. Repeat this until finished.

2. Bake for 35-40 minutes.

3. Let cool for 15 minutes. Remove from pan onto the serving dish.

Glaze:

1 Cup Icing Sugar

2 tbsp Milk

4. Spoon the glaze over the cooled Monkey Bread and serve!
