<br />
I'm so glad you all stopped by! I got a very special treat this month! I was able to meet AND stamp with the very amazingly talented Melyssa Connolly (Owner and designer for <a href="http://www.whimsiedoodles.com/index.html">Whimsey Doodles</a>) who has re-kindled my love for copic markers...AWESOME! I tend to have champaigne taste on a beer can budget...so we shall see how this goes! It was incredibly awesome to play and stamp with <a href="http://fantastink.blogspot.com/">Melyssa</a>, <a href="http://www.smellslikehomemade.blogspot.com/">Nikki</a> and <a href="http://astickysituation.blogspot.ca/">Joni</a> over at Nikki's house...I have missed stampin' with the girlies!<br />
<br />
So join us for an amazing blog hop of the fab new set Melyssa was kind enough to share with us!!! <br />
<br />

This set is just too STINKIN' cute! But seriously, it really is super cute!</div>
<div align="center">
Here are just a few of the cards I have made with this set! </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The whole chevron craze is in full swing, so I thought I would use some of this delish paper to match my pretty leaves....Can I just say that it makes a HUGE difference when you have a large number of COPIC markers to color with, I mean HUGE so if you are just starting out and only have five markers...you need MORE! I have zero copics, because I sold mine, because I didn't think I knew how to use them...turns out I just need more copics and some practice! (and a great teacher...like Melyssa Connolly!)</div>

<div align="center">
I think this might be my most favorite card with this set! I started off with just the present (going for the CAS card again...and added the "scent'iment" and realized it wouldn't work...nothing to smell and all. So I started to mask, and I stamped and cut out the wrong image...so I had to start again. I was sooo afraid I was going to "jack" the whole thing up when I colored it, but I think it turned out okay! I love this type of card, you know, where the sentiment is revealed when still closed...but it sure is a bear, or should I say skunk to carpture on camera!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know it's been a while, life has been a whirl wind these past few months and staying balanced has been a challenge. Another school year has ended for the kids and since January, between my husband and I, we have undergone three surgeries. It's been rough and with three kids in school and pre-school one of the things we have let go by the wayside is working out...at least I have! And now that it's bikini season, I really wish that I hadn't! But, what's a girl to do, what's done is done and we can only move foward!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have recently started working out again. One of my favorite sites to workout with had lost it's hostess and gotten a new one (which I wasn't as fond of) so I went seaching... and I have found my beloved Zuzana! I love working out and doing the videos because you can tell she is working hard in the video, she sometimes stumbles or looses her balance, she isn't perfect, se doesn't mind and I love that...plus she has a rockin body that I am striving to achieve!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a link to her bikini body workout #19 Amazin!!!</div>

She has a bunch of workouts, do one a day and keep at it, add eating healthy and you will see results in no time!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Have a great day and sweat a little (or a lot!)<br />

Let me tell you, whenevr tell someone that I make my own yogurt, they really look at me like I have three heads, or maybe one eye, but the process is so simple that I truly wonder why people everywhere don't make their own!</div><br /><div align="center">Origional instructions found here: <a href="http://inthelittleredhouse.blogspot.com/2010/09/going-greek.html">The Little Red House</a></div><br /><div align="center">But I have changed some measurements and </div><br /><div align="center">cheese cloth instructions that worked better for me</div><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5718269509902289906" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiea89NBL5usZs285ts9Ko_3_epIZQS0g92hZqlt4zGUhX92529yfK2O4gMVsUE1MAI5oYNCbtvu-tOS120bGpYU6MnG3tFAJihfd574Qabb5Nv4EokYFQLOwEZhEtyUPbl4uhCDTL7ElZ_/s400/2012-02-23+13.43.35.jpg" /><br /><br /><p></p><br /><p align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">What you'll NEED</span></strong></p><br /><p align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;"></span><span style="font-size:130%;">*Milk (I use 1 gallon skim so it's fat free)</span></p><br /><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">*1/2 Cup of plain yogurt</span></p><br /><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">*kitchen thermometer</span></p><br /><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">*2 cup size measuring cup</span></p><br /><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">*Cheese cloth</span></p><br /><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">*Collinder</span></p><br /><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">*Large bowl</span></p><br /><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">*Oven with oven light</span></p><br /><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">*Table Cloth</span></p><br /><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></p><br /><p align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;">Now for the fun part!!!</span></p><br /><p align="center">From your one gallon of milk, measure out 1/2 a cup into the measuring cup. Place the rest in a pot and set on medium heat until it boils (small bubbles, don't burn it...trust me the yogurt will not be as yummy with a burnt taste! I know from experience!)</p><br /><p align="center">While the milk is warming, add 1/2 a cup of the plain yogurt to the 1/2 cup of milk in the measuring cup. Set aside for now. No need to refridgerate.</p><br /><p align="center">Once the milk has boiled, let it cool until it reaches about 100-105 degrees F </p><br /><p align="center">Once it's reached the above temperature dump the milk yogurt mixture into the milk pot and stir. Add the pot lid and wrap the table cloth all around it!</p><br /><p align="center">Place in oven with the oben light on and wait...<strong><span style="font-size:180%;">for 18 hours</span></strong>, yes I said 18! </p><br /><p align="center">I try to make my yogurt around lunch time so that by the next morning it's ready to be strained!</p><br /><p align="center">Once the 18 hours are up, you have yogurt! I'm not a thin yogurt kinda girl, it actually grosses me out to thnk about eatting it...so I strain! </p><br /><p align="center">I fold my cheese cloth so that it's 4 layers thick and place it in my collinder. I then carefully dump the yogurt into the strainer and then carefully place the whole thing in a large bowl. I let it drain for about 5 hours...dumping the juices every once in a while.</p><br /><p align="center"></p><br /><p align="center">Now I say I drain mine for 5 hours, but really I only drain it until I have the desired thickness, so it could be two for you! </p><br /><p align="center">You can now eat your yummy yogurt! I usually just add chopped fruit on top and I'm golden, but you can put it in a blender and make it flavored yogurt!</p><br /><p align="center">With skim milk, one gallon will make me about 2 lbs of THICK, DELIIOUS yogurt!</p><br /><p align="center">Make sure to save about 1/2 a cup of your newly made yogurt to start a new batch!</p><br /><p align="center"></p><br /><p align="center">I have found from experience that the higher the fat content he more yogurt you will get from a gallon. I made it with 2% milk once and got almost 4lbs of yogurt...more bang for your buck, but a little more fat, depends on who you're feeding it to I guess!</p><br /><p align="center"></p><br /><p align="center">Thanks for stopping by! Please let me know if you have any questions!</p><br /><p align="center">Enjoy your kitchen!</p>Stampinsilviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08761292461947706408noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-899902954970014462.post-43096070431013457742012-03-09T08:38:00.003-05:002012-03-09T08:54:13.874-05:00The quest for the perfect cinnamon roll recipe has ended!<div align="center">I have been on a VERY long quest for the perfect cinnamon roll recipe...I have tried dozens of recipes...some more time consuming than others...until I have found the PERFECT one.

Here is the low down, cut backgroud paper to 4x6. Cut white cardstock (MFP's white cardstock is the thickest, nicest, wonderful to color on cardstock that I have EVER used...EVER!) to 2.5x4.5 and stamp the image and sentiment in black. I then got out my handy dandy aqua brush and ink pads and colored this baby the old fashioned way! Dipping and coloring! YEAHHHH BABY!!! So I was thinking that before I give this little bit of home decor to someone I'm going to write a little note, something like, "This is my way of saying..." or if you choose to use the word "Hi" instead you can write something like, "Every time you walk by, thinking of me saying..." Corny I know, but to be honest...I LOVE corny!</p><br /><br /><p align="center">So there you have it...day 3's project! Tomorrows is SUPER cute, so come on back! Can I just say that I love you guys!

I started with some texrtured vanilla card stock from MFP and stamped that adorable image of the girl and the horse. I then cutout some prtt paers usng my big shot and dies ad lined them all p. Now I must tell you, I ran out to dimentionals, I know shame on me, shocker of all shockers, BUT I do have a TON of coasters, the super thick ones, so I used that behind my pretty paper to raise up what I needed! Clever, clever! Anywho, I then took the left over piece of coaster and cut it into a little flag shape and stamped the words in the mtching ink. You know this is a simple card, but I do love it. Sometimes simple is easiest! Now hop along! enjoy the rest of the ride!</div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center"><br /><a href="http://clownmomcreations.blogspot.com/">Lois </a><br /><a href="http://www.villagestamperramblings.blogspot.com/">Vicky </a><br /><a href="http://inkinginred.blogspot.com/">Anne </a><br /><a href="http://pgarvin.blogspot.com/">Pat G.</a><br /><a href="http://karenskreativekreations.blogspot.com/">Karen H.</a><br /><a href="http://winnieswhimsandmycrafts.blogspot.com/">Patty P.</a><br /><a href="http://thecharmedlife-maryr917.blogspot.com/">Mary</a><br /><a href="http://dawnmercedes.blogspot.com/">Dawn M.</a><br /><a href="http://mississippi-mcgyver.blogspot.com/">Marilynn </a><br /><a href="http://chrissyd723.blogspot.com/">Chrissy </a><br /><a href="http://studioatthelake.blogspot.com/">Karen K.</a><br /><a href="http://mustangcreations.blogspot.com/">Pam </a><br /><a href="http://www.djchrist71.blogspot.com/">Debbie </a><br /><a href="http://www.seasidecreativity.com/">Nancy</a><br /><a href="http://stampinginthelight.blogspot.com/">Bonnie </a><br /><a href="http://allycatcards.blogspot.com/">Harriet </a><br /><a href="http://enteringkathyville.blogspot.com/">Kathy</a><br /><a href="http://www.mabiestampin.blogspot.com/">Silvia</a> <---- you are here<br /><a href="http://benzistampz.blogspot.com/">Brenda</a><br /><a href="http://marksfinestpapers.blogspot.com/">Mark's Finest Papers</a> </div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center">Happy Stampin!</div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center">Silvia</div>Stampinsilviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08761292461947706408noreply@blogger.com24tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-899902954970014462.post-74712041044722599652012-01-17T00:00:00.001-05:002012-01-17T00:00:02.868-05:00MFP January Blog Hop Day 1<div align="center"><br /></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>Hello!

Now, I sometimes go to farmers market and craft fairs to sell my wares...tought I might look a little more professional if I had some T-shirts with my little name on them. Well I stumbled upon this awesome company called <a href="http://www.ooshirts.com/?gclid=CI6o7ZaEy60CFUOo4AodEUj9hQ">OO Shirts</a> online and I am nothing but pleased with them!</div><br /><div align="center"><br /></div><br /><div align="center">I'm not very computr savvy, so I dont know how to make a logo or cool graphic, but at <a href="http://www.ooshirts.com/?gclid=CI6o7ZaEy60CFUOo4AodEUj9hQ">OO Shirts</a> it was easy peasy to make a professional looking t-shirt (if pofessional and t-shirt can even be in the same sentence together!) Now the printing was cool, but the even cool part was that I could place writting on he front nd back of the shirts...for fairly cheap! </div><br /><div align="center"><br /></div><br /><div align="center">This is my shirt...pretty cool right?</div><br /><div align="center"><br /></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 388px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5696809083637022690" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3RyEv2UbvX6MypCwaEcCPN-8uz_ho5OkaZDhH1sEq7GTmUlwPVlBcAR2QfKn4MUzmCsXYhbkN2K0qA5XtidtNPWnvFvId5eneVapxu8TxfXrEOHNilKXiPvRftIPKSf1qJ-PjLunIlAfH/s400/mabiejewelshirt+front" /> <br /><p align="center"></p><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 388px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5696807872571751554" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqrqLj_HWSr7qAvrR-txPCTIUHNbNZ_1KVLcsJobB5v2EtlFnyOL2aUSEYn4Ijpk_H1yR9Am6gah-T0GCwNWIqKenotS08NFFkFhZ0gKzeWFhsr8i9zXjg-VJxjU-GLfUogRWTosqDBrA8/s400/Mabiejewelshirt" /><br /><br /><div align="center">Now all the ease of ordering and yadda yadda is all well and good, but how does the shirt feel? Will it shink? Is logo or print going to go all wonkie on me? Let me tell ya, it's super comfy and fits pretty true to size. I have worn my shirt and washed it several times, the shirt didn't shrink and the print still looks amazing!

I used Eileens ok to wash fabric glue. Instructions say to wait 7-10 days before washing. I used a generous amount of glue!</p><br /><p align="center">Then add the teeth.</p><br /><p align="center">Followed by the eyes!</p><br /><p align="center">Once everything was dry, took about 2+ days, I used a sharpie marker to dot the eyes.</p><br /><p align="center"></p><br /><p align="center">DS was anxious for the glue dry so he could wear them to school! </p><br /><p align="center"></p><br /><p align="center">Thanks for stopping by!</p><br /><p align="center">Happy Crafting!</p><br /><p align="center">Silvia</p>Stampinsilviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08761292461947706408noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-899902954970014462.post-51077535720822652022011-12-16T00:00:00.002-05:002011-12-16T00:00:00.911-05:00It's Snow Time: Cheap and easy gifts<div align="center">Hello,<br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center">I have been bitten by the blog bug again...I have stayed away for so long, but I am back!!

Get a little tub of black paint and dip the eraser end of your pencil in the paint and create your eyes, mouth and buttons...repeat until you have made all your snowmen you'r ging to make. Clean pencil and use the orange paint to vreate a triangle with the eraser. Let paint dry</div><br /><br /><br /><div align="center">Cut your fleece while paint dries. I got half a yard of fleece on sale the other day for $3.50 and was able to make 18 scarves out of that! (comes out to 19cets per scarf!)<br /></div><br /><br /><div align="center">Cut pipe cleaner in half and glue on. 99 cents per pack of 12 (makes 24 snowmen)</div><br /><br /><br /><div align="center">Glue on Pom poms.
