And in Other News…

Yup! Its true! Mule and I are finally tying the Knot tomorrow (Feb 1, 2012). The wedding plans have changed from what we originally wanted/planned and it will be just the two of us. I won’t be in my fancy dress and there won’t be a reception… yet. That will come later when my family and friends can make it here in the fall. Then I will get to put all my planning and ideas together.

While its different than I thought it would be, I am completely ok with the change of plans. I am marrying the man I love and that’s what it is all about!

I’ll be taking the next few days off from the blog, but I’ve got some guest posts lined up for you and Pinned it, Made it on Friday

See ya’ll next week :)

Dizzy yet?

I was… well kind of.

I spent several hours going around and around to make this fabulous infant afghan

Its made with homespun yarn and is super soft.

This was a perfect project to work on while I was out of commission this past week. I’m still quite tired, it takes a while for me to bounce back after any illness now… so I’m working on another afghan while I work on getting back to “normal”

Happy Monday!

No Bake Cheesecake!

 

I have a “thing” for really simple recipes. And if there is not actual baking involved, even better! A friend of mine made this for a party a while ago and when it was my turn to bring the dessert to the ladies meeting at my church I knew exactly what I wanted to make!

 

Ingredients:

1 1/2 blocks of cream cheese
3/4 cups of sugar
1 container of whip cream (I used cool whip)
Graham crackers
1 can of pie topping (flavor of your choice. I went with strawberry)

 

In a large bowl whip together the cream cheese, sugar and whip cream until completely smooth.

In the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan, place graham crackers as the crust.

Spoon in the Cream Cheese mixture and smooth over the graham cracker crust.

Add your topping.

Refrigerate for 2+ hours and you’re good to go!

 

You can sort of see the layers in this picture.

 

 

Mmmmm Yum! It was a big hit at the ladies meeting too :)

 

Don’t forget to enter!

 

Happy Monday!
