PINTEREST SUCCESS

That's the name of my latest board on pinterest.  I decided I needed to keep track of the recipes I tried out from here. If a recipe is a fail, I delete it.  If it's a success, I'll pin it under the new board (PINTEREST SUCCESS) then I remove it from the Food to Make board.  This makes it easier for my mind to deal with all the recipes I'm gathering!  Seeing as I only started this new board today, there are only 2 pins in total.  I've made both of the recipes this week and I can't wait to make them again!  (in fact, I think I'll make the pumpkin poppers after I finish this post!)

 Pumpkin Poppers

Photo and recipe are found here.

Thank you, Haley at JUST THE LITTLE THINGS.  

As they were baking Sunday morning, I had hope that fall would come.  

(even if it's in my own mind!)

Next, was last night's dinner - Pretzel Dogs!!!!

The first teeny little taste of this made me happy!  My whole family loved this recipe, and now I'm so excited to make huge soft pretzels with cheese sauce.  YUM!!!

Thank you JOY THE BAKER! 

2011 ZIPPERED ALBUM

I purchased these little zippered albums a few years back from the Bazzill Warehouse Sale. (already getting excited for it this fall!)  I thought it would make a nice little album for my father-in-law.  Again, this was supposed to be a Christmas present.  It was finished during my Christmas in July, but still needs to be sent to Michigan!

 The Stock Boys

The next few pages have a photo of each boy and a note they wrote to their Pa.

 Some accomplishments in 2011

Braces off - Colton

Riding a Bike - Kyler

 Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do - Asher

 I also included an older family photo....

Why does time go by so fast?

 The second section in the album was dedicated to holidays.  Easter:  I love their matching ties...even Roscoe is wearing one!

 Thanksgiving

 Christmas

 And again, an older photo.  This one from 2005.

I love my boys!!!!!

2011 ALBUM FOR MY MOM

I've never been great at sending photos to grandparents regularly.  Years ago I decided to make a year in review scrapbook and send it to the grandparents for Christmas.  It worked well for a few years and after a little break I decided to start doing these yearly albums again.  Problem:  I didn't get them done for Christmas....but I did finish them for Christmas in July! (now I just need to send one to MN & one to MI)  Today I'm sharing some pages out of my mom's scrapbook.
