Chocolate Chip Card Stock gift basket with Sweet Pea Felted Flowers
Another view This card was made with the same Sweet Pea Felted Flowers; the flowers pull up and the stems leave room for writing little notes to/for the receiver to discover.
CHRISTMAS CARD
This Christmas card is a remake of one that my good friend Alice made for me right before I left Tampa. I loved it and had been waiting for December to roll around to attempt to re-create. I only have one photo, I hope you enjoy!

OWL TOGETHER NOW ~ MINI NOTEBOOK ALBUM
It has been at least a month since I have been able to get into my craft room to play. I had one week off between semesters and I enjoyed every single minute of the time not spent studying for exams. After reading a couple of books just for fun, I hit my computer and started looking at my favorite blogs, which gave me ideas for this album as well as the cards that will follow.
I found instructions for this awesome little album HERE.

**The only thing I changed from the instructions was the length of card stock needed for the accordion fold to hold the album pages. Instead of 7", I used 10" so that all album pages would be on an inside fold.**

PEANUT BUTTER OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
When I was in high school, I worked two summers at Camp Singing Wind. First as a Kitchen Cutie and then as a Life Guard / Counselor. The cook for the camp (Cookie) would make these peanut butter/oatmeal/chocolate chip cookies that were just fantastic. I was never able to find a recipe that even came close to those camp cookies until three years ago. I started combining different cookie recipes until I found a good match. These cookies are my favorite!
