Oven Cleaning 101

I don't profess to be a cook...in fact I cry wolf whenever I can.  But last night I was inspired to make Baked pork chops in a sauce (made with Cr of Mushroom soup) so I put it all in my baking dish complete with potatoes...covered it and put it in the oven- set the timer and went about my business.  After about 25 minutes I noticed smoke pouring out of the upper vent on my stove- the gravy had bubbled over and covered the bottom of my oven!!! The house still stinks!  I spent 2 hours today scrubbing baked on gravy till my hands ached!  I hate porkchops!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS I FORGOT THE OVEN CLEANING TIP....DON'T BAKE!

Back in Time

This is an altered canvas I did of a picture of myself and my 3 siblings...I plan on making a smaller one with the picture of my youngest sister to hang beside this one.  I think it would have been better if I had used Mod Pog on the paper(next time)!  Another Bella Creations challenge. 

More Christmas Gift Bags...and Tags!

6 more done...I'm having fun playing with the glitter glue to add 'BLING' - you can never have too much bling!

Christmas Gift bags done...check!

Here are a few photos of the gift bags I've finished (more to come) as part of a challenge on Bella Creations (Jingle Bellas). I think I might actually be ready for Christmas this year.

Working on christmas Crafts!

Its never to early to start working on Christmas projects...today I have been making tags and bags...I'll post them after the dry! Thanks to Bella Creations I am inspired to get it done.

Yummy Green Chili Stew

I enjoyed my daughter Aubree's Green Chili Stew tonight...I'll post her recipe as soon as she writes it down for me.  As usual Addyson was the entertainment-3 years old and still going strong when I left at 11:45 PM!!!
Got good news- my Momma's heart is A-OK...thank goodness!
I'm working on some craft projects that I will be posting in the next few days so stay tuned...

Butterflies from Soda bottles

I used empty soda bottles and my butterfly punch to create butterflies..

 Then I used glitter glue  to paint them...good recycling project! After they dry they peel right off the plastic so you can make even more... great embellies for scrapping and maybe on headbands.
