i can't stop eating this........

2009-03-07T14:41:00.009-07:00

If you like moist cake, and lemons, and cream cheese, then you're gonna love Lemonade Layer Cake. I really lurve it.

I've been researching restaurants in Manhatten and wondered if anyone has any suggestions since all I can seem to find is extremely expensive steakhouses. I just want a fun little romantic dinner for me and hubby, oh and not too expensive. Okay, okay I know that is a lot to ask, but really, $65 for a steak dinner????? For ONE steak dinner. And I know my sweety will want want one also. Come on now, can a $65 steak be that much better than say a $25 steak? Or even the delicious fall-off-the-bone ribs at my favorite chain Texas Roadhouse. Mmmmmm, I love those ribs.

Have you seen this?????

Or this.......

They're from the new Cosmo Cricket goodies, and I'm lovin' the stapler, scissors, lady images. And the alphabet is so fun. My little guy is learning his ABC's (or, as he calls them his BCC's) and that paper would be fun for a layout about the alphabet or just learning in general.

Ooooo, speaking of the alphabet.....

I just love these alphabet cards from Land of Nod.

And these....

from Electricboogaloo's Etsy shop. Nerds unite!!! It's never to early to start teaching your children about hydrogen bonding and Stratus clouds. LOVE it!!!!

Well, time to go fall off the diet bandwagon........

Something about this line is making me long for spring, and I love the chevron striped paper, oh and the colors, the clouds, the numbers. Oh, it all looks so fun!!!! Check out more of their new releases here. Can't wait to see them in person.

Ooooo, and have you noticed that Sass Lass is now shipping????? I totally want some of these......

How about another little recipe?
I'm on a salad kick and this one is yummy.....
salad greens
blue cheese
craisins
almonds or sunflower seeds
caesar salad dressing
*Adapted from my wonderful experience at Paradise Bakery last week. Yes, that was my son that tipped over the cake stand full of beautiful pastries, and yes I bought (and devoured) all of them. It was totally worth it.
Oooo, and their tomato soup is ta die fo.

Have you seen these cute little suitcases?

Check them out at Land of Nod......so cute!!!!

dolce & gabbana

2009-02-20T12:17:00.026-07:00

Okay, I give up. It is time for me to get healthy, exercise, diet, whatever. It seems like everyone, every commercial, every grocery store isle, is screaming at me to get in shape. So my hubby and I have finally given in to the peer pressure, and decided to exercise and eat better. However, there is one little problem......I LOVE COCA-COLA!!!! I've been drinking it all my life (except for sophomore year of high school when I talked my parents into paying me $100 for NOT drinking any carbonated beverages all year, which I am proud to say I accomplished and in retrospect should have asked for more money because it was VERY difficult).

And I should mention that I'm a drifter between Coke and Pepsi depending on my mood, although my family is truly loyal to the Coke brand. In fact, when Coke goes on sale at the local grocery store my entire family comes together for what I like to call the "Coke Exodus". Typically the grocery store limits the number of boxes per person per purchase, so we get a large group together and make several trips through the checkout. Yeah, we know we're crazy.

So basically, drinking the brown, syrup-y goodness is somewhat of a problem for me and my new health kick, seeing that it adds a lot of calories to my recommended daily allowances, but I've found the perfect solution.......the Dolce & Gabbana!!!!!!! It is Diet Coke (which I don't love) mixed with 1 or 2 teaspoons of grenadine (which I do love), and it is low on calories but big on yummy cherry taste. After doing a little "research" on Wikipedia, I found out that it's called a Dolce & Gabbana because of the initials for Diet Coke & grenadine. I also like the typical lemon or lime squeeze, but grenadine is by far my fave. Anyway, it is my new love.

Now, let's get down to business.......have you seen the new American Crafts puffy thickers?

This is from their new line called "Backyard" and the thickers are just so fun. There are some sample layouts on their blog featuring the fun new scripts, love. And they have cute new felt embellies for their Details line that are so fun.

Oh and the new Jenni Bowlin chipboard buttons are adorable. Here is one of my faves from Jenni's blog

And I wish I could get a pair of these for 90% off. Love them, so cute.

xoxo,
Spud

Check out these glasses. They turn all points of light into these darling heart shapes........so dang cute!!!!!

And it just wouldn't be Valentine's without a few decor ideas. Here are a couple things I made for around the house.

And I love these hearts from Papier Valise.

And finally, a cute little library catalog card generator.......be still my Dewey Decimal System lovin' heart.....This is perfect for sending love notes to your sweet.

cute hearts and yummy chicken.....

2009-02-04T11:55:00.005-07:00

My sis made these hearts, aren't they the cutest thing evah????? So fun, and I love the extra sparkle on the sides. They stand about two feet tall and look great with framed photos sitting next to them. Cute stuff!!!!!

Here is a link for apple and smoked gouda stuffed chicken that is absolutely amazing!!!!! Everybody loved it-- even my two year old asked for more. And the ingredients list was so easy:
chicken
granny smith apple
few slices of smoked gouda cheese
olive oil
butter
flour
salt and pepper
sage
Sauce
lemon juice
chicken broth
and more butter

Here's the link to the recipe
www.cookingwithangel.com
I had to cover and cook a bit longer than what it said in the recipe, but it was sooooooooo yummy.
And the lemon juice sauce, oh the sauce!!!! I wanted to dip rice, bread, veggies, anything in it!!!!!

Unfortunately Sweet Spuds is closing.

To everyone that has ever purchased a subscription, shared a layout on Flickr, looked through the gallery, left a comment, won a RAK, lurked on the site, laughed at one of my corny jokes, or stayed up late/woke up early to purchase a kit we want to say THANK YOU!!!!! We really appreciate your support and enthusiasm for Sweet Spuds.

This blog will keep running and take on a new twist. It will still feature the same great scrapbook finds that we've always highlighted, but it will also cover creativity from other areas: photography, crafts, cooking, interior design, fashion, beauty, etc. So drop by the blog anytime to keep in touch and share inspo.

The January kits were mailed on January 8th, and should have arrived on schedule or hopefully a bit early. Please let me know if there are any problems.

I've cancelled all the PayPal subscriptions so the last payment should have been in December. There should not be any subscription payments made in January. Let me know if you have any questions or notice any inconsistencies.

Love the gnome playing card in the June Kit.......his rosy cheeks and little brown boots are just too cute!!! And the Cosmo Cricket papers are called "hello sunshine" cuz they're so bright and sunny, yay for summer!!! The Love Elsie Forrest papers and buttons are da bomb........especially the hand-drawn woodgrain, or faux bois as they say in the design biz. KI Memories new line "la di dah" offers cool papers and letter stickers, and all of them seem to fit together in one happy little "gnome forest" for June. Love all the little goodies that come with this kit too, like the kawaii animals fabric, and the rainbow checkerboard trim.

2008-04-26T21:07:00.003-06:00

The sneak peek is up and the full reveal is on April 30th at 6pm mountain time......can't wait!!! There are a FEW single-month purchase kits that will go up for sale at that time.
This kit is called "eye for fashion", because the patterns remind me of all types of fashion, clothes, interior design, art, etc.
Did you notice the little vintage dress pattern note paper? It reminded me of my mom, so I just had to get it. Then I compared it to this picture of her when she was 16.......isn't she cute???? I love this picture of her, and she is still just as beautiful. I've always said I want to be just like my mom when I grow up. She is so amazing. Best mom ever. EVER. ever. evvvvvvver. The dress she's wearing was sewn by her mom, my grandma, who was also quite the fashionista. One time my grandma and grandpa went to a dinner at the rec hall in their retirement community, and my grandma was all dressed up of course. Well one of the other grandmas saw her and announced "Here comes miss fancy pants." I guess the love of fashion just runs in our blood.

Hambly Heaven is a happy place. Filled with "Grandma's Wallpaper", "Brocade", "Raffle Leaf", and these darling pink rub-ons. Love the color and theme--antique yet modern. And the vinyl thickers are soooooo cool in WHITE. They totally jump off the page, and they remind me of go-go boots, so schweet.

You should really check out Scrapmojo to see the latest challenge and you might win an April kit while you at it. They've made the coolest challenge evah. Yeah, that's right not only are they using office supplies in the challenge, which by the way are one of my weaknesses. (No really, I remember standing in the office supply aisle as a youngster, just drooling over the different clips, labels, pens, files and organizers and dreaming of working in an office. Strange.....but true.) Anyway, back to the challenge, it also includes a tribute to my favorite show: The Office. Be still my Dwight-beating heart. Oh Dwight, how do you continue to amaze me every week? Is it your hair, your love of beet farming, or the faxes Jim sent you from your future self? Whatever it is, you've won my heart. FACT: You are the strongest, wisest office supply salesman east of the Mississippi, and I can't wait to see what you do this Thursday.
*****Just for Fun*******
Post a comment with your favorite quote from The Office and you'll be entered in the drawing for a Sweet Spuds RAK.
*******Update*********
We are finishing up the kit packing on Monday and Tuesday, in order to ship them out to everyone Wednesday and Thursday. These sweet little boxes of love will be on their way very soon.
Hugs,
Gina

i love packing...

2007-08-09T15:08:00.000-06:00

I'm packing the August Kits and packing my bags at the same time. We're leaving for Seattle tomorrow, wooot wooot! Gotta go see Grandma and shop at the market and eat at Sluy's Bakery and Ivar's and the Cheesecake Factory and walk the waterfront and play on the beach and have a *weenie roast* and dig for *gooey ducks*. I've made this trip every August for as long as I can remember and even before that! I cannot wait!

I'm going to mail the kits tomorrow and then drive off into the sunset (more like sunrise since it takes about 14 hours to get there). BTW, everything is just about sold out. One pack of buttons, two projects and two kits left. I totally wasn't expecting them to go so fast! Currently I am organizing the September Kit and it is full of the new stuff from CHA and some crazy stuff I found. Can't wait to share it with you, tease, tease.

Now let's talk about FREE Stuff. Remember how I promised the first ten preorders some FREE Goodies, well here's a picture of what they are getting in their kits. Don't you just love FREE Stuff?

Hmmm, anything else I need to tell you guys?........Oh yeah, the design team. LOL. You didn't really think I'd forget did ya? Yes, I've been having the dodge ball nightmares again and I cannot make up my mind. But I've set a deadline. I will announce the new DT on Sunday Night.

gotta keep packing
see ya!

due to popular demand...

2007-08-02T14:52:00.000-06:00

Okay, so my friend Susan made that dang cute LO of her dang cute little boy, and everybody wants the dang buttons!

Sooooo, I've made them an "Add On" for either the Main Kit or the Project. There are 4 oz. of buttons, which is a TON, and the colors are just yummy. Check 'em out!

P.S. If you've already ordered your kit or project, and want to add these lovlies, email me!

P.P.S. Remember how I promised the first 10 August Preorders something free? Well very soon I'll reveal what they'll receive with their kit/project. Oh yes, they'll be the envy of all of Scrapland. {^_^}

new and improved DT deadline

2007-07-31T12:26:00.000-06:00

Woooooooow! We've had an AMAZING response for the design team. The applicants are sooooo cool, and their work is absolutely gorgeous. Of course, this means I've got to choose a team. Eeek!

Well I've been having nightmares about it, and I don't know if I'll ever make up my mind. (I keep thinking of elementary school and playing dodge ball at recess. I hated that game. I was always the LAST one chosen for a team. Then I would hide in the middle to avoid getting hit by the ball. Well duuuuhhhhh! That just made me the last one, in there all alone, and everybody knows they send in the biggest, meanest player to take out that last poor ball dodger. So I'd end up with big purple bruises and a crushed self-esteem.) Yeah, I don't like choosing teams.

*announcement*
I've decided to move up the DT deadline. August 31st, what was I thinking?!! We need to have a team ready for September's KiTS {which are looking good thanks to CHA}, so I think it will be much better to get a team chosen right away! I'm so sorry about changing my mind.

The new and improved deadline is August 10th. Hope this works for everyone.

needs a loving home....

2007-07-24T22:57:00.000-06:00

Can anyone provide a loving home for these *Love, Elsie* goodies? Lola and Riley are both trained, so you won't have to clean up after them. They never talk back, and they are extremely obedient. Be prepared for hours of enjoyment, love and devotion.

If you're interested in winning this pack of goodness, just post a comment by July 29th naming your all time favorite scrapbook company. {Yes, you must choose ONE.}

Please help Lola and Riley, they need your love.

2007-07-17T18:24:00.000-06:00

Oh yeah! The sneak peeks are up and running and lookin' goooood.

I am in love with this little cutie. Ain't she sweet? She's a self-adhesive fabric strawberry. Does it get any better? This is just a small part of August's main kit "Sprinkler" and I'm geekin on the bright colors--perfect for the colors of summer. So check out the sneak peeks and preorder your kit.

P.S. Sometime soon we're going to do a giveaway to celebrate our Grand Opening. What's in it? Let's just say Hobby Lobby was sold out of Elsie's stuff by the time I left the store.

Wooohoo! It's finally happening. Sweet Spuds is here, and I'm soooooo excited. Can't wait to see how everything goes. I've been working on the website for so long that I started to think it would never happen, but it's finally here and with no further introduction I give you... Sweet Spuds!
