Sunday Savor has arrived!! So pull up a chair and relax. There is a tasty recipe ahead and it comes with a twist!
Brownie Mix 1 C Sugar 1/2 C All Purpose Flour 1/3 C Cocoa 1/4 tsp. Salt 1/4 tsp. Baking Powder *Put mix in a zip lock baggie or mason jar marked with the next set of instructions. (This would be the twist) At BAKING TIME Add: 2 Eggs 1/2 C Vegetable Oil 1 tsp. Vanilla Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 mins in a 8 x 8 OR 9 x 9 pan. Check after 12-15 mins. Remove when brownies are done. Let cool and ENJOY!! **I did not see anywhere in this recipe to grease the pan bottom so I would say that does not have to done before pouring the mix into the pan. You be the judge. The thing I like about this recipe is that you could make up a bunch the dry ingredient bags to have on hand for when you are craving brownies. You could also make up the jars as gifts. (ie: Christmas is coming) Let me know if you make these. ~Keep on Dreaming~
Good Wednesday evening! Lot's happening here, so let's get going, shall we? Above is my new summer do--a bit shorter than I wear during the school year. Light and airy and easy to take care of.
I have been busy crafting, I made four bracelets. The two on the upper left are mine and the the two on the lower right are for a friend's birthday. Lot's of fun making these.
I made a skirt for myself without a pattern. Several years ago I made a similar skirt.
This one has a slit in the back, I wasn't sure if I could do it but I did and I love it!
Father's Day fun.
Selfie at a fountain.
I bought these letters a couple of months ago, thinking I would paint them.
Instead of painting them I covered them with scrap- book paper. I chose a print that has some of the colors in our living room. When I hang them up, I'll post a pic. As most of you are doing Summer has arrived with heat. Our average temp in June is 85 well this June we have been in the 90's and today we hit 100! NOT impressed. I do better "working my way" into the HOT part of Summer. The heat has played a big factor in my motivation to get some things accomplished. Hopefully it cools down before it should really be hot. Hope everyone in well and staying cool! ~Keep on Dreaming~
Hello!!! Well, it has officially arrived--Summer is here! Although for the last couple of weeks here in Eastern Kansas it has felt like Summer already! We have a busy week ahead, see you on Wednesday!! ~Keep on Dreaming!
Wow! Is it Wednesday ALREADY? Today we are talking GARAGE SALES. See those two lovelies above? Well, hold on tight because I purchased them for a buck apiece--that's right $1 each! We just happen to have cushion for the seats but I will need to come up with back cushions. Love them!!!
This little beauty is my new "deck buffet." I have sprayed it with Poly once but I am going to give it one more coat. The bowl was a sale find, I filled it with rocks I had--need a bit more and put one of those gel fire starters in the middle. The candle holder on the bottom will have a candle on it when it is not so blazing HOT outside. This little beaut came to me for $ 3 buck a roos. It will come in handy when we have company or a party on the deck. Woo Hoo! More sale pics in the coming soon. What have you been up to? ~Keep on Dreaming~
Good Afternoon Everyone, I hope you are having a FAB Sunday! Sunday Savor has been dusted off for it's Summer reappearance. Today we have a fun party recipe, great for those upcoming parties everyone will be attending or having in their backyard.
This was my Mom's "go to" party treat AND it is sooo easy!! Ham Roll-Ups Items needed: 1 pkg of Oscar Meyer Ham (in the square yellow pkg--about 20 slices) 2 pkgs of Cream Cheese I used Garden Veggie and Garlic with Red Peppers Toothpicks Take out a slice of ham, blot with a paper towel spread with the cream cheese, roll it up and place seam side down on a plate. I was able to put cheese on 10 slices of ham for each cheese flavor. When finished rolling, place them in the fridge covered lightly with foil "to set." Two hours or so before your party, slice each roll into thirds, placing the toothpicks in each section before or after you slice the roll into sections. Arrange them on your plate or tray and cover again. Serve when ready. Enjoy!! ****Note-- I used different colored toothpicks for each cheese flavor.If you only use one flavor use non-colored toothpicks. I also made a small note saying what the flavors were ie: green and blue Garden Veggie and placed it by my plate. ~Keep on Dreaming~
Hello All! Hope this Wednesday finds you well. Today is "Best Friends Day" and I would like to wish ALL my friends near and far a good day! I love each of you and couldn't get along without you!
Well, last Saturday was a big day for a special lady and her family. Ken and I were invited to this lovely venue for her wedding!
This is the Thompson Barn, it has changed drastically over the last 50 +++ years. Our lovely city has turned it into the MOST sought after venue for weddings in the city. Brides must reserve it a year in advance in order to secure it for their big day!
Upon arrival guests were greeted with the chalkboard and picture table. Loved the pictures!
This would be the inside of the barn. The restoration work is AMAZING!
Chairs were set up for the ceremony on the second floor of the barn.
I'm going to call the theme for this wedding feminine with a rustic touch here and there. This beautiful wreath was hanging on the doors in the front.
During the cocktail hour and while other pictures were being taken, ceremony area turned into the dining and dancing area. this was our table. Pretty glass bowl with floating candles and greenery. If you look closely or biggie the pic, you will see the small carved gourds by the champagne flutes. The groom's mother worked in Peru for four years and knows the couple who carved them. Each one has a ribbon with the date and their names on it.
Here is the beautiful bride with her family. Dad, Mom and brother.
Their first dance as husband and wife.
A beautiful cake. I love the topper, it was cut out of wood! The bride and groom are outdoors people( ie: hunting, fishing etc.) so I thought it was a fitting topper for them.
When trying to figure out their gift, I ran into a wall...everything on their registry was already purchased and I am not too hep on getting something from there anyway. Soo after a discussion with my friend, the Mother of the bride I decide to make another jar. I made a Honeymoon jar. I heard from the bride the next day "we loved your gift!"
A wedding selfie. It was a beautiful evening for a lovely couple. We wish them many years of HAPPINESS!! ~~~~ Garage sales are all over the place and I have been to a few as soon as I can I will post pics of my treasures. ~Keep on Dreaming~
Hello! Everyone!! I hope this post finds you doing well. Today all the neighborhoods were having garage sales. I hit a few this morning and early afternoon. Very happy with all my goodies which by the way are still in my car. As soon as soon I get things organized I will post some pics of my loot. Tonight we are having dinner with some friends and tomorrow is the BIG wedding of our good friend's daughter! We are so looking forward to this big event!! Sunday will find us dead tired and playing "catch up." Big plans for your weekend? Enjoy! ~Keep on Dreaming~
