My friend Rachel (Hi Rachel!) inspired me to try my hand at using Design Studio again. I was making a card and wanted a 2" scalloped circle. I don't have any cartridges with a scalloped circle so I sat down and decided to make my own. After about 45 minutes of playing with it...I DID IT!!!
So proud of myself... :)

Pumpkin Butter
One word...YUMMY!
I made a batch of Pumpkin Butter as a possible food gifts at Christmas. I used Splenda to make it a little more sugar free. I also just use the can of pumpkin pie spice I had in my cabinet. I also added a little vanilla.
So...if you are on my Christmas gift list...you can expect some!

Egg Muffins
In my quest to make breakfast more streamlined ('cause I'm NOT a morning person!) I've been scouring the Internet looking for easy, freezable meals that I can make a big batch of at one time.
I stumbled onto Kalyn'sKitchen. She posts low carb recipes. She had a fabulous recipe for egg muffins.
My first batch didn't turn out quite as pretty as hers did, but they were mouth watering! I added my own little tweaks to the recipe, and made a few mistakes. The first batch, I decided that to save time, and dirty dishes, I would just mix all of my veggies, meat and cheese in the egg "batter". WRONG! Even after stirring, everything settled in the bottom. I layered the second layer like she suggested, and every bit had veggies and meat. I also used my own seasoning blend of minced garlic and onion. My next batch I'm going to add a splash of salsa and some olives.
You can play with this recipe. Use different meats and cheeses, or veggies. They freeze beautifully and were even better the next day. Reheat them in the microwave (thawed) for about a minute.
I'm even thinking of trying a sweet version using bits of bread, raisins and cinnamon and syrup in the egg batter.

What I'm working on
Why do I wait till the last minute!?
I am sitting here watching my big bug cut out tags to attach to the top of goodie bags for Maddie's class. Her birthday is tomorrow (I can't believe my baby will be 6!) and I am putting together some little goodie bags for her to pass out at the end of the day.
Once I finish one I will post a picture.
