My eyes have been twitching for a couple of days now. It is one of the not-so-fun ways my body tells me I am stressed. It's really quite annoying. One of the sources of the stress is my house. It has gotten seriously out of control. I am about ready to call that show "Clean House",
lol. DH always says I over dramatize the situation, but when it makes my eyes twitch, I
know it is bad. So, I have decided it is time to get down to business and tackle some of those jobs that are hanging over my head. I have no idea how long it will take. Today I only got as far as the bathroom closet, linen closet and my bedroom. I have 5 huge bags of items that will go to the Salvation Army. It feels good to get something done and I enjoyed blasting praise
CD's and Josh
Groban on the stereo. If I am MIA this week it is a pretty good guess that I am under a pile of something somewhere.
Last month I submitted a project to
SU. They were looking for holiday class ideas. My project was not one of the winners but it did get posted to the demo site so some you may have seen this. The holder is 6X6 in size and uses a variety of supplies. I tried to figure out how to attach the instructions I submitted, but alas, I am too dumb and too tired to figure it out. If you would like me to email my word file to you please email me, I would be happy to do so.
Since I am in a purge mode today, I think I will give this Recipe Holder away to one of my readers. Leave a comment on this post and if you would like, share a favorite holiday recipe with me. On Friday at noon, I will draw a winner.
I used the Voila and Recipe sets to create a holiday recipe holder.

I just have found your site and am amazed t all the awesomeness of your creativeness. Just forget about the clutter and hide in your stamp area and relax there.
Really cute recipe card holder! Thanks for the chance to win it!! As for holiday recipes my family always has me make Honeycomb:
1 cup sugar
1 cup dark corn syrup
1 TBLS vinegar
mix in saucepan, cover and bring to a boil. Uncover and place candy therm. in and cook to 300 degrees. Remove from heat and add:
1 TBLS baking soda
1 TBLS vanilla
Stir quickly and pour onto a buttered 9x13 pan. Do not spread, mixture will spread on own. Cool and break into pieces. Coat with melted chocolate almond bark and harden on waxed paper. Enjoy!!
I love checking out your blog
We must be in parallel lives right now. My eye started twitching last week while at the hairdresser's. I know that it is due to the stress of my calendar, house, yard, etc, etc.!!
Your recipe holder is ADORABLE!! Thanks for the opportunity to possibly hold it in my hands.
I would share my recipe for my orange cranberry jelled salad. It is my family's favorite and is always a hit at gatherings...but sadly, you will have to wait until tomorrow....(right now it is in a cupboard that I've been avoiding and I'm not up to having my eye start twitching again today!! BWHAAHAHAAA!!!)
this is a fabulous project and would make a wonderful gift item for those hard to buy for. Heck, I would love to have one for myself. You have inspired me! Jackie M.
OMGoodness - I just love this. You did a super job and I'd love to have this in my hot little hands :)

I LOVE your recipe holder....I usually check your blog daily to see what cool project you've posted. Thanks for doing such fantastic work!!
This is a recipe that my mom has made the past several years on Christmas morning, along with several other delicious treats. She preheats the oven before we open stockings, puts it in the oven before we open gifts, and during "intermission" we eat our yummy breakfast. Hope you enjoy.
