PLEASANT SURPRISE

Hello. by no means am I bragging but things like this don't happen to me.  My youngest son just ask me two days ago to go on a cruise with him and his wife and kids.  Its not that I had to think about it I just had to make sure   I wasn't dreaming.

We are going to the Bahamas, having never been on a cruise before I wondered if anyone had any advice for me?  What to do, what to buy, or any thing else I need to know.  Do places like that have anything that crafters would like or do they just cater to the people who have money like for jewelery, etc.  Please help me....................................thanks

Holiday Recipe Book

Holiday Recipe Book

Todays challenge over at The Shabby Tea Room is called Tis the Season.  You were to make a gift, card, tag or project for Christmas.  I thought it might be kind of fun to make a little recipe book with holiday favorite recipes.  Believe me I am not a baker so it is a small book with shorts recipes, but are some of our favorite sweet snacks.


here is the front of the book, I added ribbons, charms and some small baking embellishments to the cover










there are five pages each one having five little pockets to hold recipes, pictures, ingredient list or whatever you might want.  There are two pockets on the front of each page and two pockets on the back of each page and a pocket in the middle of each page.


I made some tags and small recipe cards to add to it..............
