    Baking failure and success

    March 7, 2011 - By 


    My BFF from high school, Sandy, shared a few of her dearly departed Grandmother’s bread recipes with me last week.

    Yesterday, I tried the Honey Oatmeal bread…. As you can see, it didn’t turn out quite as planned. It’s still tasty, just short and dense.

    Today I had much better results! I used her bun recipe only I made it with half wheat and half white flours instead of all white flour. I can’t wait to sample one!!

    Quote pages

    March 6, 2011 - By 


    After a little nudge…I thought I’d show some of my pages. Some of these have been shown on the blog before quite a while ago. The rest were made in my pre-blogging days.

    I’m only showing my pages as I didn’t ask permission from the others to display their work.

    Please forgive the weird formatting…not sure whats up with the pictures and why they won’t go where I want them!

    Quotes Altered Book finished!

    March 5, 2011 - By 

    I started this altered book years ago with a few tip-ins from a swap. I love quotes… It seemed like the perfect theme. Alas, I ran out of steam on the project. It was set aside…forgotten.  Recently, I’ve had the drive to finish those UFOs (unfinished objects) sitting around basically to free up space and cross things off my on-going list.

    I asked my good friend Elizabeth if she’d make a tip-in or two for me…  She came up with the idea of hosting a tip-in swap on abc_alteredbookclub. Sweet!
    Just look at the end result! A completed book! Well, truthfully, there are spots for 3 more quote pages if they were glued directly down but for all intensive purposes…this is officially crossed off my list!!!!
