Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July to all my friends in America! It is a beautiful day to celebrate and today my little Paper Smooches monster wanted to get in on the fun. So this card was born:

I used my distress inks and distress markers to watercolor. You may not be able to tell in this picture, but there are embossed stars behind that little monster. Isn’t he cute?

Joining up with the Paper Smooches challenge.

Dose of Sunshine Monday — Pecan Tassies

Happy Monday! I’m SO excited for Thanksgiving this year. My very favorite day of the year is the day BEFORE Thanksgiving, because that’s the day my Mom & I spend the entire day baking, cooking and getting ready for Turkey Day. One of the things we make is homemade pecan pie. And my grandmother has a nice twist on pecan pie that I just love.

Announcing: a much requested recipe…my grandmother’s Pecan Tassies.

I’m over at Mom Endeavors with the full recipe and instructions; go check it out here.

Have you ever had a mini dessert bar for Thanksgiving? I think this would make a great addition to a mini dessert table spread, along with these Mini Pumpkin Pies. What else would you add?

Dose of Sunshine Monday: Happiness is…

“Happiness is not so much in having as in sharing.”

I agree with that statement. Do you?

I had such a great time handing out my Halloween Treat Sacks to my neighbor kids and my nephews over the weekend. In no time flat, they had those things torn apart and the candy devoured! But it was all worth it because I had a great time and I sure do love those kids. 🙂

For this Monday, ponder on that statement and see if sharing something DOES make you happy.

Tonight, I’m off to share some {Halloween} Peach jam! See you next time.
