Vellum Windows

It's almost like an illuminary candle but it's a card. Perhaps a led light behind it would be fun? When I put this in front of the window it lit up. Pretty cool.

Here are a few pics of my new creations. Steven bought me a new camera but my pictures are not as crisp as the other blogsites I've visited. Last weekend a bunch of us got together and made cards together. I didn't realize when I started this that it would open up a whole new world for me. I've made so many great friends along the way who share the same passion I do. I recently started selling my cards and have a nice little client base. Also, I've been selling my cards in a store in Leesburg since February. Soon I will open an account with Esty and will start selling my cards there. If you see any cards on my website that you like and would like to purchase one, let me know. I can make a card with any theme, color, sentiment.

Tea Bag Cards

Here are a few cards I made for a friend of mine last week. Each one has a special message and inside a saying that says, you, me, tea? next to an attached tea bag. Fun to send to friends as an encouragement to close off the world for a few minutes sipping a soothing cup of tea.

Slow Cooked Pork Chops

Another easy recipe brought to you by Campbells soup. On Sundays I usually make a big pot of soup or something else that will double for snacks or meals during the week. This time around I decided to make smothered pork chops. The recipe is so easy and has only a few ingredients. Season however many pork chops you need with salt, garlic powder and pepper. Lightly brown in pan and set aside. In a small pot add a can of golden mushroom soup and a half cup of wine, heat until well blended. Put pork chops in a crock pot, pour soup over the pork chops and as they say in the infomercials, set it and forget it for about 6 hours. By the time these are cooked they are so tender they fall off the bone. Serve with mashed potatoes, corn and apple sauce.
