Bean Pot Peach Cake

Hi Everyone!!! (Again) :) .. OK so we just had dinner now we will have dessert! this peach cake my family LOVED!!!! but remember you can't make it unless you have a Celebrating Home Bean Pot! :) ;) ..It tasted just like peach cobbler! so good! Here's the recipe
Celebrating Home Peach Cake:
1 can of peaches (I used the huge can)
1 box of yellow cake mix
1 1/2 sticks of butter
Opt: Cinnamon
Put the whole can of peaches juice and all into the Bean Pot
top with all of the cake mix (smooth it out)
sprinkle with cinnamon if you would like (I liked) ;)
then cut butter into little patties and put them on top of cake mix (all over)
this time we are making dessert in the oven for 50 mins @ 350 degrees!
This was also a one pot wonder..the only dish I had was the knife to cut the butter! awesome!!!

Bean Pot Taco Soup ..

Hi Everyone!!! I wanted to do something different today and that is to show you how cool Celebrating Home's Bean Pot is to use! I made this taco soup last night for dinner and I only used 3 dishes! one: to cook the meat in and second: colander to drain meat and just this Bean Pot! super easy! delicious! and easy cleanup! so easy in fact that Tim washed it after dinner and I made Dessert in it!! so what an easy dinner and dessert! loved it! I do have a link on the top of my blog if you want to check out what we sell and a TON of products are discounted! ..I will share the recipe..you have to order the Bean Pot tho to make it ;) that's the only condition :) ...
Celebrating Home Taco Soup Recipe:
1Lb ground beef, cooked and drained..I used 2lbs because we are total meat eaters and like chunky meaty soup ;)
1 - 28oz can of kidney beans (do not drain)
1 - 28oz can diced tomatoes (do not drain)
1 -14oz can corn (do not drain)
1 to 2 packets of taco seasoning or Celebrating Homes Chipotle dip mix (I didn't have that in stock so I used reg taco seasoning..One whole packet of Hot and about 2tbls of mild) what FLAVOR!!!
Stick it ALL into your Bean Pot (which you can order from me) hehe
stir and stick the whole thing with lid into the microwave for 20mins! THAT'S IT!!!
ALL DONE!!! ENJOY!!!

Newbies Welcome

Hi Everyone!!! OK I'm back to feeling good :) ..Well I started advertising myself on our local FB page, so welcome to the new people checking out my blog :) ..Look around, I hope you like what I create :) ...because I have new people who have never done this before I wanted to show them that you don't need a lot of supplies to create a one of kind, pretty card..This card was made to show you how fun and easy it is. It was made using one DSP (Designer Series Paper) ..All of SU paper is double sided which makes things so nice and versatile.. I have two embellishments on this card one ribbon (I absolutely love our satin ribbon and I can't recommend it enough :) get a white it can be used with everything.. The pearls are also from SU and I kind of have a trademark when it comes to my cards ..one being pearls, gems and the other paper piecing..I feel that brings out so much in a card :) the stamp sets you want to start off with are your basic (Birthday, anniversary Etc.. I chose to show you a very cool set from SU called Bring On The Cake #121958 ..this set has so many birthday images that it can be used for children or adults, can you tell that this card is for someones 38Th birthday..all you do is color in the numbers you need :) simple right? but fun. I personally sew on almost all of my cards because I like too hehehe but you don't have to that can come later on no worries... well if you have any questions please feel free to leave a comment or email me..I do like getting people into card making and having fun that I'm always around to help :) .. Right now SU is having an awesome sale so hurry up and order from my website you have till the 30Th but only today they will have two items for a really good deal..if you order from my website you will be put into a raffle to win a SU $50.00 gift certificate :) ..Thank you so much!!!!

The picture is of Rocks trying to eat my card box (I think he's teething at 7 years old ;) But considering he tore holes in a good bra last night he's in big trouble! and he tore (ate) a corner piece of the blanket my mom made me ..so double big big trouble! Lucky I love him he just got a finger shake with a BAD BOY attached..Tim Say's I would have kicked his butt if he ruined my stuff (OK yes he's right) hehe but Rocks have you seen him!? He has a good I'm sorry mom face, so can't get to mad at him :) ..I hope you had an awesome day!!!

I was kind of stunned to because I was commissioned to make a special card for a lady's friend for her birthday, so that's a first :) ..yay! so good day! then yesterday I was sewing all day with my mom..I made a tree skirt for my Christmas Tree ..I can't wait to show you :) ..busy fun weekend ..I hope you all had a fabulous weekend too ..I made this card using the sketch from The Sweet Stop..I wanted to make a simple and elegant card..I hope I accomplished that..All but the ribbon and flowers are SU..I hope you have a great day!

Christmas..Twister and A Story About Boobs ;)

Hi Everyone!!! OK so STORY-TIME!! So a couple of weeks ago I was told by two people how they see me "walk" with my friend..Ummm WHAT! It has taken me MONTHS to be able to jog/run 3 1/2 miles without stopping, so I take great offense to this :) ..let me tell you when you see a WOMAN who has more then a handful of breasts then you will understand that when a woman WALKS her breasts swing from side to side (like the commercial with the little birds swaying back and forth having a good time) :) that's walking!!! ...when a woman's boobs are going up and down (think of singing the song, mama gonna knock you out) that's jogging/running, so my boobs are constantly SINGING THE SONG! so get it people, that would mean I'M JOGGING/RUNNING NOT WALKING!!!!! ...OK I feel better... :) :) :) LOL!!!!!!! My rant for the day is over...moving on :) ..this card was made using DSP called Letters To Santa #122349 and the pretty glitter brads are Glimmer Brads brights #121006..the flowers are from Prima ..the sentiment is from the set Warmest Of Wishes #122672... I also made the Twister table topper last night and OMG! I had such a good time making it..I wish I could teach it..very fun! I hope you have a great Thursday! I'll see you with a Friday Funny!
