Well, we are into that time of the year where over-eating is a must! I must confess I am going to have a tough time staying on my weight goal this month!! I should have gone ahead yesterday and weighed in and gotten it over with!! Today was my Newcomer's Coffee where we each brought a dish to share. With about 100 people present, you can just imagine all the food! Luckily, I was at the last table to be called, so a lot of it was gone. Not to fear though, I just got more at the dessert table instead!! I was almost sick when I left!! But .... it was soooo delicious!
Tomorrow is my stamp club get-together. There's only 5-6 or us in this group so I shouldn't over-indulge on this one. I am taking my 5-Cup Salad. I always have this salad at Thanksgiving and Christmas but didn't make it this year for Thanksgiving. It's so easy - I got the recipe when I first got married from my next door neighbors who were also Ashley's god-parents. You mix together:
- 1 can pineapple
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 can mandarin oranges
- 1 cup marshmallows
- 1 cup coconut
Yum!!
We are making calendars at stamp club. We each took 2 months to decorate and we will be putting them all together tomorrow. My months were January and August.
I embossed the trees (from SU's Lovely As a Tree) with Holographic embossing powder (retired). "Brr" is cut out with my Cuttlebug Alphabet. The "ready, set, snow" saying is from SU's Best Wishes & More.
This one was fun! The Sock Monkey with the inner-tube is from Life's A Breeze as is the flip flops in the sand! The dolphin, fish and waves are from a Nestabilities I recently got. I wheeled the sand and colored the shells with my Copics. Everything is raised up with dimensional tape.
Can't wait to see the other pages of the calendar tomorrow. Stay tuned!
