The Winner Is.......

Thanks to everyone who entered the Monogrammed Towels Give-Away!  It is nice to meet some of you and get to know a little bit about you.  I hope to have another give away very soon. And the winner is......Pages From The Heart!  I put the 5 names in a basket and had my husband draw the winning name.  Pages From The Heart please email me and let me know what thread color you would like for your towels and also the initial (s) you would like.  You may have 3 which could be yours alone or a combination of yous and your husband or just a single initial. The choices are yours. Also, I will need your address. Thanks again everyone.  Enjoy the rest of the Super Bowl and have a wonderful week!

XOXO

Super Bowl Sunday

After church I came home and finished these Valentine treats for my grand baby's day care class.  I've got to get them delivered.  Since they don't live here sometimes that can take some planning.

Anyway they are finished....all 25 of them.  Since there are 3 Graysons in his class I had to be sure they knew which Grayson they are from.

Of course it was a Pinterest idea but I did design my own circles and print them out.  I also, cut a larger red circle on my Cricut.

There have been lots of potato recipes on Pinterest lately and I LOVE potatoes fixed any way.  I have several pinned on my food board.  I've noticed when something is really good people put "crack" in front of the recipe name.  I take it that means something is so good it can be addictive :)

So instead of trying a new potato recipe I pulled out my mom's recipe and I'm going to call it Gram's( that is what she is lovingly called by her 8 grand kids and 9 great-grands) Crack Potatoes.  Yes, they are delicious and I want to share the recipe with you.

Gram's Crack Potatoes

2 lbs frozen hash browns

8 oz cheddar cheese

1 stick butter

1 can cream of chicken soup ( I use Cream of mushroom)

1 c. diced onions

16 oz sour cream

2 c. crushed corn flakes ( I use Ritz Crackers)

Mix all ingredients together.  Place in a 9x13 cooking dish. Top with crackers, drizzle with butter.  Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

Enjoy!

A Saturday + Rain + no obligations = a day of baking, sewing and trying some new projects!

Start with this

Press these into the tops of the cookies as soon as they come out of the oven

And this is what you get.....{peanut butter cookies with chocolate hearts}

 Delicious and Easy

Sloan is almost 1 and I wanted to make her a few things for her 1st Birthday

Pink & Green

My favorite color combination right now. 

I was inspired by the newest towels at Pottery Barn for Kids (but knew I could beat the prices making them myself). 

We have a very special baby being born in March to a teacher at my school.  I wanted to be sure I got his things finished before the shower.

I made his mommy a pretty notebook to keep track of all those things busy moms have to do.  Also, a soft lovey with his name....Rylan.

Another burp cloth and little boy boxers

Have a cozy, rainy Saturday afternoon!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful week.  Tomorrow is Thursday already.  I am going to visit my kids and grandbabies after work. 

 {That makes for a wonderful Thursday for me.}

XOXO,
