Days of Thanks - November 17

Today I am thankful for the beauty of the Rocky and Wasatch mountains.  I know there are many beautiful places on this earth, but I think these are near the top of the list.  All I can say is God must really like beauty!

What are you thankful for today?

Operation Write Home Memorial Day Blog Hop

Welcome to my little contribution to the Operation Write Home Blog Hop.  I am so happy that you stopped by today.  This is the first time that I've participated in an OWH Blog Hop, but I have hopped to other blogs during these hops before.  I can't wait to see all the inspiration out there. Today, I have chosen the Bonus Sketch #12 to use with this hop.  It is a sketch that my daughter chose to have me make her thank you notes for graduation before I even knew the hop details.  What perfect timing!  Be sure to scroll down to the previous post for a full tutorial and to see my daughter's thank you note.  Same technique and sketch, but a totally different card. I used the following supplies: Operation Write Home Bonus Sketch #12 K and Company - Ancestry.com paper Memento Tuxedo Black ink OWH / Hero Art stamp Stampendous - Happy Messages stamp set Thanks so much for stopping by today. Remember to take some time to enjoy the l...

Hot Chocolate for a Crowd

It's been nearly 3 years since we made hot chocolate mix.  Yes, you heard right.  We last made hot chocolate mix in December, 2017.  Have you ever made so much hot chocolate that you mix it in a garbage bag?  That's how we like to do it.  It's also great if you're having a party or looking for a fun gift.  Just add some mix to a bag, put it in a mug, wrap in cellophane and tie it in a bow.  This year we tweaked the recipe a bit to try to make it a little more chocolaty.  Keep scrolling and I'll tell you how we changed it up. The original recipe is something that I found on the internet years ago and I have no idea of the original source. If if you know where I found it, I will be happy to link to the original source. 13 oz. malted milk (change alert #1) 22 oz coffee creamer 4 lb. powdered milk 32 oz. powdered sugar 2 (28 oz.) chocolate milk mix (change alert #2) 2 (1 lb) bags of mini- marshmallows (change alert #3) Mix in a large trash bag.  ...

Heartbeat Christmas Card

 How are your Christmas preparations going?  I trust that you are taking time to celebrate and worship the One Who we celebrate this holiday.  I know that I've been quiet for awhile.  Don't be fooled.  I have made a lot of cards.  I just need to get them posted. This card was made to give to the various departments in the hospital.  I wanted to spread some Christmas cheer and I thought this card would do that.  I know that the heartbeat may make you think of Valentine's Day.  However, I felt that it was perfect for healthcare workers.  SHHH..... don't tell, but it gave me an excuse to buy this die that I was having trouble justifying. Supplies you need: White card stock (I used the Walmart brand) Red cardstock (I used Ruby and Cranberry from Close To My Heart (CTMH) White embossing powder Versamark ink CTMH  "Just to Say" stamp set for the sentiment Glue (I used Gina K Connect and Scotch Quick Dry) Tape runner adhesive Tools: Vagabo...
