Can You Hear the Ocean?

Posted on July 31, 2012 by Megan

I can’t, and I don’t even have a conch shell to hold up to my ear.  I did make this cute shell-fastened bracelet, though, to make me think of the ocean! Unfortunately, the shell is much too small to have … Continue reading →

Peanut Butter and Veggies…Yum?

Posted on July 30, 2012 by Megan

Trust me on this…this sandwich rocks.  I like a good ol’ PB&J just as much as the next gal (ok, probably more than most), but I wanted a sandwich I could feel a little bit virtuous about eating. Now, really, … Continue reading →

Very Canny

Posted on July 27, 2012 by Megan

I obviously have canning and preserving on the brain, since yesterday I made cards with Perfectly Preserved and today I have another canning related idea. I found myself in need of a small gift for a friend (who, happily, loves … Continue reading →

Perfectly Preserved

Posted on July 26, 2012 by Megan

One of my favorite aspects of being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator is receiving the catalogs a month (or more) before they’re available to the public. Of course, that means I am doubly anxious to get the latest and greatest in … Continue reading →

Posted on July 25, 2012 by Megan

My sister-in-law and her husband celebrated their twentieth wedding anniversary yesterday.  My husband almost went into shock when I told him this.  Mostly because he didn’t realize we’re almost to nineteen.  He still thinks of us as a young couple, … Continue reading →

Warning: Sugar Induced Coma Ahead

Posted on July 23, 2012 by Megan

Last week, I tried a few new recipes to send in to my GI Joe’s office.  The potato chip cookies from Martha were only so-so…a bit bland, we thought. Then I made a couple of variations of Rice Krispy treats … Continue reading →

The One Where We Drove an Extra Fifteen Hours

Posted on July 20, 2012 by Megan

We’ve been back from our summer vacation for almost two weeks now.  I think I can talk about it. Let me say, though, we did have lots of fun making some great memories.  Unfortunately, many of those memories happened in … Continue reading →

“Serenity Soon” Glitter Bottles

Posted on July 19, 2012 by Megan

I wish I had thought of these, but, alas, I found them on Pinterest.  They originally were designed to be bottles to help kids learn to center themselves and meditate, but they’ll be perfect for my hooligans as “serenity soon” … Continue reading →

Sufferin’ Soybean Succotash!

Posted on July 18, 2012 by Megan

Here’s a little known fact…my GI Joe’s favorite vegetable is lima beans.  I know, right?  I found a recipe in Everyday Food last summer for a succotash made from edamame rather than lima beans, and he was quite disappointed when … Continue reading →
