Green Halloween

Good morning,
Every year when we get the gardens ready for winter I try to use as much as what still looks good and bring it inside. My two basil plants did quite well this year and I could have made pesto, but quite honestly, didn't feel like it, so instead I made a fresh centerpiece. I used a pumpkin cookie jar I had and colored the water orange and added the basil. Looks festive and smells AWESOME! I guess I still could make pesto as long as the basil stays fresh. More to share from the garden next time! Happy, happy week!

Fiber Art

Good morning friends,
It is amazing what you can find on the internet and all the talent people have been blessed with. I recently had the opportunity to be included in a very cool blog about fiber art called Beading Arts. Cyndi Lavin wrote a nice piece about what I call costume jewelry. (I think I prefer the term "fiber art" better, don't you!) Here is the link - http://www.beading-arts.com/2010/09/fiber-artist-tina-wick.html
Many thanks Cyndi! Happy, happy week!

Oh so empty!

Good morning all,
My post today is about getting every last bit of cream from your bottles. I cut them open to expose the interior and the cream/lotion still left inside. I use the bottle then as a vase. You can't see it, but under the mitten is the Eucerin bottle. You can also cover them in cloth or wallpaper. Need to know more? Feel free to contact me any time! Happy, happy Labor Day!

BLT Bites

Good morning all,
The open house yesterday was terrific. It was great to see everyone and I appreciate the support. Thank you! In preparation for the gathering, I of course needed to serve a few snacks. BLT Bites are a little picky but worth the trouble. You will notice in the recipe they suggest you scoop out the pulp and discard it. WHAT! Oh no, not Greenpurse! When ever I make these I also plan a meal such as chili, stew, spaghetti or the like and add the pulp to it. Enjoy the rest of your day and happy, happy week!

Two Peanut Butter Cookies Went Into a Bar

Good morning all,
Okay, I don't really have a joke about cookies in a bar but I do often have just a couple cookies, or two pieces of pizza or half a sandwich, etc. that I do not want to throw away. I almost always grab a baggy and store the leftover in it. One day I realized how wasteful that is! I have since been using those really small containers we all have and keeping them there. My conscience is clear. I would also like to share the recipe with you. No, this is not a mistake!

One, One, One
One cup of peanut butter
One cup of white sugar
One egg

Mix well and spoon out on an ungreased cookie sheet
Press in a crisscross fashion with a fork
Bake at 350 for 10 minutes

It does not make many, but I'm told they are good! Let me know what you think!
Happy, happy week
