A card and some CHOCOLATE FUDGE!!!

I told you yesterday I was having a wonderful day! I did laundry,made a couple cards and made some Choc Fudge...

As for the card,it's again the beautiful paper from SU and used the Sidekick Sayings set with reds and greens.Added a red ribbon and some glittery brads and a star for the tree.

This is the before pic,lol. 8" pan lined with parchment paper.









And the finished product!Don't they look yummy,they are! I had to taste test a couple,my hubby did too and so did my Brother in law,so it's an easy,yummy recipie!

Here's the recipie:
3 Cups of semi sweet choc. chips
1 Can of Eagle Brand (Sweetened condensed milk)
2 tsp of Vanilla Extract
1/2 Cup of walnuts

Melt Choc. Chips with Eagle Brand (on stove top),Remove from heat once melted,stir in vanilla and nuts.Spread evenly in parchment paper lined on 8" square pan. Chill for 4 hours or until firm.Removefrom pan and peel off paper. Cut into squares. Makes about 2 lbs.

MMMMMmmmmm Good!
Enjoy,Diane

Purple Frosty!

I just had to post this card right away! I can honestly say I'm so happy with it! It's all in the purples for a Tops Secret Pal which we are to reveal next week. She just loves purples so I thought of making her a card and something else which I'll be working on in the next few days. Not sure what it will be yet,but it'll match the card of course.
It's yet another easel card,I added some snowman/women brad along with the sentiment.
I used the SU Frosty stamp set...I adore this set!
Also used MS holly punch,a corner sissex and a couple of layers of cs and voila!
Oh my fudge looks yummy,I'll take a pic and put the recipie on here tomorrow just for you Lisa!

What a great day I'm having...I'M SO HAPPY!!!!!
Hugs,Diane

Birthday wishes

Happy B'day Judy! This card is for my cousin/tops member. Today is her Birthday,I really like how it turned out. I had this image from Wish Rak a while back and never got to color her cause I had the shakes so much.
Well,I'm pleased to say,my shakes are 100% gone!!!
I'm blessed to have rec'd my liver transplant and Thank my donor,my hero more than once a day! I do think alot of the family though. While I'm celebrating life,they are grieving terribly I am sure. But like my husband said,it was the donor's wish to give his organs and now I am enjoying everyday I have so much more!

The card is a an easel card,used my new nestie and added some balloons from an old Bella image I had. Popped them up and the sentiment is from Michael's.

It was nice to get a break from Xmas cards,even though I still have lots of Xmas cards to make. I gotta get crackin'!
Have a wonderful day!

Hugs,Diane ENJOY LIFE!

Christmas Greetings

Good Tuesday Morning!! Yet another Xmas card!
I'm posting this early aren't I,usually post later in the day
but I had to go for my bi-weekly bloodwork and I must fast and need to go really early. There's always a line up of people,so I leave my house by 6:45 am to be in line for when they open at 7:30,otherwise I don't make it in time to get my bloodwork done before 9:00,cause I must take my anti rejection pills at 9:00.
So that is why my card is already posted,cause I might go back to bed,lol.

Anyways,on to the card...very easy,I had some K&Company stickers which I mounted on a nestie and the rest is easy peasy! Added a beautiful bow which I recycled
and ta-da!!!

Have a wonderful day,I'll probably post a non Christmas card later. I had a super day!

Hugs,Diane
ENJOY LIFE!

So yesterday I made Banana Bread and each weekend I will make a diff recipie and my baking will be done for the Holidays.
I also made 6 cards yesterday,so I'll have something to post,they we're all clean and simple but at least I got some done!

So my shopping is DONE,did a good clean-up and put some decorations up,woohoo! Today I cleaned all my floors,went grocery shopping. Wow! It's a good day!!! I had a rough week last week and the last 3 days have been wonderful!

I'm so happy go get good days now! Before it was more bad days than good days! AMEN!!!

For my card,it's really clean and simple but just love the papers. Hope you all like it!
