Quiet weekend

This has been a pretty quiet weekend. I guess I was more tired from my Cali trip than I had thought. I also think I have picked up a "bug" as I am just not feeling the best. Can't decide if it is these darn allergies or what.



Saturday I made a quick trip to Mystic Paper and picked up some Halloween Stamps. That was pretty much it for me as I was hot and tired so home I came. Fixed chicken Marsala in the crock pot for my dinner and it was beyond yummy.



Today I decided that I needed to do something besides being a slug on the couch. I made Margie's pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. Oh my goodness it make a bazillion of them. I will definitely be bringing some to my kids and to work. I made little muffin holders with a die for the Big Shot that I continue to hold for ransom. Colleen will have a large ransom by the time she gets home
Have swiss steak in my crock pot for my dinner and have laundry about done. Played with new Halloween stamps loving them.
So not much news off to get ready for another week at work. Maybe I will have more energy later on in the week for a better post

Sorry to hear you are a little under the weather! Hope you are feeling yourself soon!
Don't you just LOVE Margie's muffins...that is my favorite fall muffin recipe. If it would just "cool off" and act like fall, I'd make some!

The Stockings Were Hung

I hosted a small group for a Christmas Stocking Swap. I kept the group small due to my time and work constraints and deadlines I was facing. My idea for the swap came from a wonderful online class I took with Nancy Maxwell James of Sugar Lump Studios . I really enjoyed her class and all her helpful tips and so the idea was born. I assigned secret partners, to each of the members as well as a Dec 10th deadline. Christine suggested we all wait and open our boxes on the same day. So today is the reveal. The stocking are gorgeous and it has been fun as the photos came in to see how each of us interpreted the theme. We designed and filled our stockings with goodies and then mailed to our partner. Below are the photos of our stockings and a little thank you I sent to each of the gals. The stockings are in no particular order just how they came up on the computer. I am already thinking of next year :) and what we could do and to being more organized time wise so I can invite more ga

Today: Chaos, Cooking, Cleaning and Creating

Image
What a day. I think I put the "Labor" into Labor Day. After yesterday, where I basically sat all day I needed to get going. And get going I did. From laundry to cleaning to grocery shopping to creating I have had a busy day. I have decided that what I eat sucks. I rarely cook a good meal and then at bedtime I am back to starving. So in my great wisdom I decided I needed to get with it and start fixing better meals for myself. Cooking for 1 is not the most inspiring thing. I am so used to cooking for larger groups and I tend to make too much. any how armed with a list for the grocery store and determination I headed out. I shopped and shopped, loaded all the groceries into the car and unloaded all the groceries from the car when I got home. From there it was a whirlwind of mixing and making my meals for the week. But let's be honest I probably made enough for 2 weeks plus. Groceries waiting to be put away and made into meals It only took about 30 minutes to whip this all t
