FAVORITE BLOG POSTS

Paulette at Create with TLC shared a free wordart today that got me to thinking about sharing some of my favorite blogs!  I visit a LOT of blogs over the course of a day/week and today several stood out to me.  I hope you'll enjoy visiting them and share some love if you snag their freebies or inspirations!  The wordart from Paulette says NOBODY DOES IT BETTER...  and how appropriate that is for this post...  Each artist does such a fantastic job.  I wish i could list them ALL, but for this post, I will share just a few.  ENJOY!

Apple Cini Steelcut Oats Breakfast

I am always looking at recipes online as well as cookbooks.  I used to collect cookbooks.  Before our last move, I donated almost half of them to various places.  But now, I still look for anything that "looks good" and I would actually consider making not just to "collect" it.  This recipe is one of those I came across online and printed for use at some point.  Last night I decided to throw it together and see what happens.  After I put it into the crockpot, I sat down and made the scrapbook page layout to share with you.  Then this morning we took pictures of it to show you how it turned out.  IT WAS DELICIOUS!  Only thing I think I have a problem with is that I started it at 10PM and we didn't eat till 7:30am so I think it was in the crockpot too long.  Next time I think I will plan that timing a little better.

All the digital elements I used in the recipe scrap page layout are from Paulette at Create with TLC.


Just right click and tell it to open in a new window or tab and it will open to full size for you to save to your own computer.  I made this in 200DPI so it is better for printing than the typical 72 or 100 dpi images.  Just tell your printer to FIT TO PAGE or whatever similar setting your brand printer might use.

Again, this image will open larger for better viewing as well.
I recommend trying this anytime!!

HAPPY FALL YA'LL!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMILY SUE!

Today is our youngest's birthday!  She is celebrating #15!!  
We did orange rolls for breakfast... OH SO YUMMO!

Emily has no preference for meal options for dinner so I
am still trying to figure out how to make a birthday dinner
with ground beef...  HHHHhhmmmmmmmmm... might have
to dig out a cookbook or something.

I couldn't pick a single "wish" to share with you today, EMILY
so I am sending them ALL............

Today is a very special day,
because it is the day when I (we) first saw my (our) angel.
May you never grow up for me (us)! Have a lovely birthday!


You have always made me (us) proud.
Happy Birthday to my (our) dearest daughter.


No matter how old you are,
to me you will always be my little girl.
Have a brilliant Birthday!


You are the most beautiful gift anyone has ever been gifted with.
Happy Birthday to the best daughter in the whole wide world!


Happy Birthday to my little girl.
I wish you to love life and never stop dreaming!
May beauty and happiness surround you today and always!


I (We) feel so proud and happy to see that our
little girl has grown into such a fine, young and
beautiful woman.
Much love and blessings coming your way.


Having a daughter means...
Seeing a thousand rainbows every day,
A thousand occasions of sweet hurray,
A thousand sweet dreams every night,
And a thousand reasons to laugh and smile!
Happy Birthday to you, angel!


As parents we hope that you touch the life of
thousands of other people with the same happiness,
care and love that you have touched ours.
Happy Birthday to the best daughter in the whole wide world!


May you always be happy, healthy and wealthy...
so that you can take care of us when we are old :)


Happy Birthday to our beloved daughter.
May you be blessed with all the good things you deserve.


Today is so important to everyone who knows you
and who loves the amazing person you are.
On your birthday and always,
you're wished everything wonderful!

WE LOVE YOU, EMILY
Mom and Dad

NATIONAL HUG DAY IDEAS

Tomorrow is the start of Natl Hug week..........

Be sure to check out
CREATE WITH TLC
for some free hugs!!! 

This one goes with a bear and a bag of HUGS.

A Bear Hug For Someone Special

Here's a little Bear Hug
His arms are open wide
And though he's small
His heart is filled
With lots of love inside
If you are ever lonely
And your heartstrings need a tug
Just find this Bear and then right there
He'll give a tiny hug.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Friendship Rainbow
I don't need a pot of gold
From every rainbows end;
For I found the greatest wealth
Is having you for my friend.
Here are some little hugs for you
Just a way that I can say
Thank you for being the color
In a world that often seems grey!

or change the last two lines to say:

Thank you for your friendship
Please have a colorful day!
Birdiekity-2000

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Grandma Hugs
Grandmother, you are like a patchwork quilt,
so cozy and so warm.
Just listening to your stories,
reminds me of your wisdom and your charm.
I know I can always come to you,
When lost or feeling alone.
For you always comfort me,
and make me feel at home.
You are the silver lining,
of a cloudy day
and I know whom I can trust
when black clouds blow my way.
I store your hugs and kisses
In my heart each day.
So I'd like to share some back with you
To give you back love in my own special way.
Paulette, 1999

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Homework Hugs ...

An Angel's jar of "Homework Hugs"
To help with the studies you'll do.
A beary sweet hug and quick studybreak,
Will lovingly see you through.

To this angelic bear *you* are
So beary special and dear!
She'll encourage with hugs and brings to you
Our wishes for a GREAT school year!
- DAB 8-30-99

Hug Me!

No moving parts, no batteries.
No monthly payments and no fees;
Inflation proof, non-taxable,
In fact, it's quite relaxable;
It can't be stolen, won't pollute,
One size fits all, do not dilute.
It uses little energy,
But yields results enormously.
Relieves your tension and your stress,
Invigorates your happiness;
Combats depression, makes you beam,
And elevates your self-esteem!
Your circulation it corrects
Without unpleasant side effects
It is, I think the perfect drug:
May I prescribe, my friend, the hug!

Why God Made Hugs

Everyone was meant to share
God's all-abiding love and care.
He saw that we would need to know
a way to let these feelings show.

So God made hugs - a special sign,
and symbol of His love divine,
a circle of our open arms
to hold in love and keep out harm.

One simple hug can do its part
to warm and cheer another's heart.
A hug's a bit of heaven above
that signifies His perfect love.
