Easy Fall Décor

November 15, 2009 in Crafts, Creativity, Decorating, Holidays, Home, Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores I love all those assortment potpourri bags that you see everywhere from Target to Pottery Barn to JoAnn’s. Combine your selected assortment in a wooden bowl with a color coordinated candle for a very quick décor item for your table.  It’s an idea you can easily change up for every season. Store your off-season potpourri’s in zip lock baggies for quick change up’s.

Veteran’s Day

November 11, 2009 in Books, Crafts, Creativity, Holidays, Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores, Quilting

Today we honor our Veteran’s and we have the perfect quilt to make for a special Veteran in your life. It is actually called “Veteran’s Lap Quilt” and can be found in our newest book called “I Care with Quilts.” This book was created because the most giving and caring people on the planet are quilt makers. Quilters are always looking for opportunities through their craft to support people who are in need or lend a hand to support a cause that is near and dear to their heart.

Peanut Butter LOVER

November 7, 2009

I have a passion for Peanut butter and believe it or not, November is Peanut Butter Lovers Month. I have no pretense about my love of peanut butter. As any true PB lover will tell you, the purest way to eat it is always directly out of the jar. I have become an advocate for Adam’s PB because it’s only ingredient is peanuts and besides that I can buy it extra large at Costco. When I travel, I carry a Tupperware container filled with it and two plastic spoons (in case one breaks). I had it confiscated at airport security one time for having too large of a container in my carry-on. It was heart breaking. Come on! Peanut butter’s not a liquid. :(  Besides on my spoon, I love it with a cup of coffee, on apples and bananas, a dob on my chocolate ice cream or chocolate pudding – well, with anything chocolate of course. I keep an emergency jar at the office just in case I need an afternoon fix. One of my favorite cookie recipes of all time is Chocolate No-Bake Cookies because of the classic pairing of chocolate and peanut butter. Whip up a batch this month!
