Its all about the SNAP,CRACKLE & POP

I saw this and knew it was totally blog-worthy! I love this idea and I am going to make one for my sons party in a few weeks (boy colors of course!). We have a few kids with egg allergies, so regular cakes are out of the question, but this is egg free! What a great idea...Find it here:

Easter Morning goodies

Here is a great recipe sure to please everyone on Easter morning:
SEMI-HOMEMADE DOUGHNUTS

It's so easy and you won't believe how delicoius they are...
Use store bought refrigerated biscuits. Not the flaky kind just the regular small store brand cheapest ones you can get about .69 per tube for 10.
Take each biscuit and make a hole in the middle with your fingers and stretch the hole to about a nickel size. Then drop in oil at 350-360 degrees. Fry about 3 minutes on each side until light brown. Then top with cinnamon sugar, powered sugar, sugar glaze, canned frosting, chocolate syrup, anything. Eat them warm!

It's Easter Week here...

I have a great week of Easter ideas, projects, and FUN. It starts here.

Put Kool Aid on your shopping list this week. Not to drink, to dye your Easter Eggs. It makes your kitchen smell yummy too. And you can lick your fingers clean. Here is some information on doing it.

Have SCAL2? Trace any image with these easy steps...really it's easy!

Images with little detail work the best - images in silhouette form, just black on white.

1. download a picture on your computer - usually if you see an image you can right click right on top of the image with your mouse, and then choose "save" or "save as" rename it if necessary - you can find images on blogs (my blog here too), websites, all over. Put it in a folder on your computer where you can remember. The image should be in the form of a .jpg or .bmp. I have a separate folder for scal files (and then I categorize my images by category)...

2. open scal 2 (this only works in scal2, don't have scal2? click on the link below to get it...)

3. click on the tree symbol (looks like an apple tree) a the top of the screen

4. it will bring up a search box, now find the file you saved, by clicking BROWSE.

5. once you click it and click OK , it will appear right on the scal screen, you can size and change it as needed.

My favorite quotes

Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.- Barack Obama
Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek. - Barack Obama
Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and DO GOOD.
Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or har dwork. it means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.
"What would you do if you knew you would not fail?"
I'm not very religious, but I just like this...Our prayers may be awkward. Our attempts may be feeble. But since the power of prayer is in the one who hears it and not the one who says it, our prayers do make a difference.
