School's Out for Summer!!!

It would seem that I am a little behind on this one but with each passing week everything is taking me longer to get to!!! Thank goodness I have such a great husband to rely on as we head into my last few weeks of pregnancy!

Sarah's last day of school was on Tuesday last week and we put together little stationary packages for her Teacher and the Educational Assistant in her class (Sarah likes to make sure that everyone is treated equally!) These were cute and quick to put together (thank goodness as I made them the morning of her last day of school!!!)

I used my Doodle Alphabet (SU! Retired) to stamp the initials of each of the fine ladies, punched that out with my 1 1/4" SU! Punch, Punched a 1 3/8" Circle and mounted the initial on that. I used Purely Pomegranite, Close to Cocoa and some SU! Designer Paper I had on hand. We sealed the deal with Purely Pomegranite Stitched Gingham Ribbon (it won't be around much longer!) and voila! A gift that I hope the teachers will enjoy using!


Sarah insisted that we make variations on the 2 folders so here they are. Each folder has personalized note cards along with co-ordinating envelopes inside.

Enjoy!

Berries with Dorie

Happy Tuesday everyone! It seems to me that with every passing week I take fewer photos!!! I am certain I took more than this but I just gave up my work computer and I am thinking that some photos got lost in the translation...seriously put a 36 week pregnant woman under pressure and things fall apart pretty fast some days!!!

Anyway...the main thing is I have that lovely photo of my berries that my DH bought for me when he did an emergency run to the grocery store (he remembered, not me!) I can barely remember anyone's names these days nevermind a grocery list!!!

On to this week's Tuesdays with Dorie recipe...we had Mixed Berry Cobbler...I used blueberries, raspberries and blackberries...yummy!!! For fun, the kids and I cut out the cobbler dough in different shapes and covered the ramekins with those instead of covering the whole cobbler...they loved that!

We served it up with some ice cream and it was all good! The berries were amazing and the cobbler made a great sponge for soaking up that yummy berry juice!
I am looking forward to next week's Apple Cheddar Scones...I should be able to fit in one or two more recipes before this baby comes!!!

Enjoy!

Sweet Bouquets!

A good friend asked me if I would make her an edible bouquet (well, 2 actually) to present to her nieces after their dance recital. Traditionally she would bring them flowers but this time around she wanted something a little different. The only guidelines that I was given was that one loves pink and the other purple...so I went shopping...

I found some fabulous ribbon, tied it on my scallop bowls...sweet. Speaking of sweet, then I filled the bowls with chocolate covered peanuts (yummy!) My poor DH has been hankering for these

since my Mother's Day Creative Kids and still hasn't had the urge satisfied!!! Anyway, then I got to stamping and punching the flowers and arranging them accordingly. Each bowl is filled with 12 flowers and packaged them all up for my friend's nieces to enjoy...I hope they like them!!!

Enjoy!
