Quilted Table Cloth!

I was cleaning out the laundry room and found a table cloth I made and completely forgot about! How fun is that! I think I will clean out the hall closet next! It was a really easy one and didn't take that long to make. I love the ones that look like a giant block. These are nice and easy and we all can use nice and easy once in a while!

Great Movie to See!

I loved this movie. It really is one everyone should go to see. And its not a "Chick Flick". It just a fun heart warming movie you really will enjoy. I wanted to sit Thu it twice.
I loved her relationship with her husband too. I think I am going to go get her autobiography.
After watching the movie the book should be even better!

Great Book for Bloggers

As you are surfing thru "Blogland" I know you must have come up on a site telling you about this book that came out the beginning of the month. Well....I ran out and bought it! And I love it. Not only is it done beautifully but it is full of alot of helpful information. Tara Frey is the author and has a blog of her own...... http://bellapink.typepad.com/ Her blog is worth surfing to! I really liked seeing some of the other blogger sites and seeing some of my favorites in the book. But if you are new to blogging this book is really helpful. And its just fun to read!
Always remember,

What Can I take to the Pot Luck?

I hate Pot Lucks they put so much pressure on you! You have to take something everyone will love because you don't want to be the one leaving with a full plate of what ever you made! SO this becomes a major event for me...Last potluck my Niece brought he same dish I did....and I thought mine was so different no one would be bringing it. Boy was I wrong! And hers was in a beautiful dish....oh the pressure.... Don't you just hate those women who just run home after work with hardly any prep time and make something so wonderful she is having to email all of us the recipe later because it was to die for! This time I am going for the "Ramen Noodle Salad" or should I ..... oh well here is the recipe and I hope everyone asks for it! :)

Ramen Noodle Salad
1/2 head green cabbage, chopped
1/2 carrot, shredded
4 green onions, chopped
1 package ramen noodles (Oriental flavor)
2 Tablespoons slivered almonds, sunflower seeds, or sesame seeds

Dressing (whisk or shake together):
1/2 cup salad oil
3 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 Tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Flavor packet from ramen noodles

1. Toast the nuts or seeds in a warm oven for 6-8 minutes, watching carefully to prevent over-toasting. Cool.
2. Combine cabbage, carrots and onions.
Break up noodles and add to vegetables.
Shortly before serving, add nuts or seeds and the mixed dressing; toss well.

As always I believe,

My Soap is Done!

This was really fun! Thanks again MaryJane! I did end up making a double batch after I tried it. I washed my husband's work clothes and they came so clean. It even got stuff out of his clothes that "All" never has. And it smells wonderful!
Here is my finished jars. Well a few of them ....after all I did do a double batch! And I love making labels for everything so look at the labels too! I always get my clip art for labels and other things from http://www.pccrafter.com/index.aspx. I love that site.
