Scrapbooking Family
I’ve had a lot of fun scrapbooking. It’s been great fun to go through all of the old photos. I’ve made pages for different ages, different parts of the family, and for holidays.
Read MoreLooong Weekend
This weekend was very busy. The Gibson County Antique Machinery Show was this weekend, as well as the first set construction for Gibson County Theatre Company’s production of The Sound of Music. Saturday was particularly busy for me. I has a meeting at the house with a client at 9AM. I am currently working on…
Read MoreOatmeal Cinnamon Chip Cookies
Oatmeal Cinnnamon Chip Cookies are one of my favorite dessert foods in the fall. They have a great warm flavor that cuts thru the first of the autumn chill, of course they are good about any time of year. I’m actually thinking about making some for open class at the fair.

Read MoreMamaw’s Fresh Strawberry Pie
I saw some big ripe strawberries at the grocery today. I got a small box and ate them at lunch. I’m considering going back for more tomorrow, and making a strawberry pie; because nothing is better when strawberries are in season than Mamaw’s fresh strawberry pie. I keep meaning to try to make it with…
Read MoreFruit Pizza
This fruit pizza is basically a giant sugar cookie in a tart pan that is iced in a philly cream cheese topping with bananas, blueberries and strawberries. To start I always use a sugar cookie recipe with granular, instead of powered, sugar for this. Of course, I should also mention that I make my fruit pizza…
Read MoreDigital Scrapbooking
Even though I never seem to have time to finish my traditional scrapbooks, I seem to breeze through the creation of digital scrapbooks. I think a lot of that is the ability to make changes. If I glue something to a page, it’s there, but with digital, I can play, and with the extra confidence…
