Thanksgiving on a Plane

It's Thanksgiving and we are up early to catch a plane to warmer country.  We are headed to Arizona and all the family we have there.....
I will try to keep up with my bloggy friends...but  you never know what is in store for me in the land of the sun.....warmth I hope (inner and outer!)
Can't wait to embrace all my family.

Today I will be thankful for all my friends. Thank you for being my friend.

I snuck in a little crafting..

I snuck in a little crafting, and I do mean little.  I made 3 cute and easy bags:

bought muslin bags, washed them
added ruffles and rolled flowers and poof, you have fun shopping bags!!

We're all ready for Black Friday are You?????

Harvest Blessing Mix

For Thanksgiving, or the fall season, I like to give a 'treat' of harvest blessings.Since I can't TREAT you to the yummy crunchness, I'll give you the recipe so you can "harvest bless" others!
These are the ingredients we will need:
there really isn't a set recipe...but if you need something to go by.........
4 C small pretzels
4 C Bugles
1C Candy Corn OR 2C popcorn-popped
1-2 C M&M's
32 Kisses
2 C dried fruit, (small like raisins or craisins)
2 C sunflower seeds (or peanuts)

copy the poem, add a little clip art and you have a great treat to give.

Thanksgiving Blessings Mix

Each ingredient in this snack mix symbolizes something associated with the Thanksgiving season.
Cornucopia, or the Horn of Plenty – a symbol of our harvest abundance
Arms folded in prayer- a prayer of Thanksgiving
Corn- food was so scarce that settlers survived on just a few kernels of corn a day
Dried fruits- a harvest gift of our bountiful land
Seeds- a promise of a bounteous harvest for the next season.
Kisses- from the love of family and friends that sweeten our lives.
Sweet memories of those who came before us.

Does this make you feel old? or just out of the loop?

 Today's generation has no idea what this is.

Food Fun Friday- easy 7-up Biscuits

One of my NEW goals is to make something (craft, design, sew, cook, etc) from my Pinterest files each week. 
This week I saw the MOST yummy picture and couldn't believe the easy recipe attached:

I found it at:
http://monstermama-monstermama.blogspot.com/2011/09/7up-biscuits.html
well not to burst your bubble, but mine did NOT look like the above picture. 

They did taste really good (hello butter!)
I made them a second time and used half as much butter (1/8C) (oh and I also used a 8x8x8 pan instead of the 9x9x9 pan) 
They still looked rather pale.
I will make them again, even though I really don't use bisquick... but I now have a whole box to use up!!! 
Bottom line: Mr. Produce loved them!

7-up Biscuits
2 c Bisquick mix

1/2 c sour cream
1/2 c 7up
1/4 c melted butter
Preheat oven to 450º
Cut sour cream into your Bisquick mix, then add 7up - it will make a soft dough. Now sprinkle your counter with a little Bisquick mix then add dough and pat it out.

Melt butter and pour it into a 9" square baking pan. Cut your biscuits up and arrange them in pan on top of melted butter.
Bake 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
