Christmas Movies

My all time favorite Christmas movie is "Rudolf and the Red Nosed Reindeer".  It was a big deal to watch it every year on T.V. when I was a child.  I loved the story and the music.  I related to Rudolf and the misfit toys.  I know that is sad, but I did.  I still get choked up when I hear that song.  I still believe there is a place for everyone, especially at Christmas time.  I'm having a great time sharing my favorite music, movies and memories with my daughter Natalie.

What was some of your favorite movies?

Subway Art out of Scrapbook Paper for Christmas

First I found this cute Christmas Subway Art Scrap-paper.

Measured subway art paper to fit 8x10 frame.

Created a paper ribbon.

Crossed with another paper ribbon.

Used this paper for the ribbon which is the back of the other paper.  I created a bow from the scrap paper and my Cricut.  I used a tag from the scrap paper too.

Finished Product.

Right now this project is framed in glass but I want to put it on my porch wall.   Should I use Modge Podge to seal the paper?  I'm afraid that if I use the glass it will fall and break when we have 60 mile an hour winds.  I already broke one frame when my cat Shasta stepped on the frame.  She's part maine coon which is why she's huge (she needs to loose weight too).Don't mind the floors, this was taken in the middle or our remodel.

I thrilled to be featured, on December 23rd, at "Polly Wants a Crafter" the craft blog from Cassidy at "Remodelholics".  They are real popular blogs so that make me even more excited to be featured.  Thanks, Cassidy

Pea Salad for Tasty Tuesday

This is the first time sharing a recipe on this blog hop.  My sister in law is one of those people that makes being a mom effortless.  She was married for 12 years before having her son and then had 2 girls a few years later.  Now they are 13, 16, and almost 18.  She is a great cook so I wanted to share one of her recipes. 


Pea Salad

I cheated and stole the picture from online.  I don't have a picture of my salad.

2 bags frozen petite peas thawed
1/4 cup mayo
1/4 cup sour cream
 green onions chopped
 cooked crisp bacon
one package zesty italian dressing mix altogether
 serve with cashew pieces (put in right before serving).

I have served this salad at my daughter's Baptism luncheon, Christmas, Birthday parties and more.  Ok, I'll admit I let Cindra make it, but I have made it for myself and it's easy peasy (lol no pun intended).

Princess and the Frog Deluxe Gift Set

I still have 4 Tiana dolls left.  I'm selling them for 12.99 + 6.95 domestic shipping and handling.  Orders in by 10PM Pacific time are shipped out the next day.  http://shop.stores.ebay.com/kats-purrfect-boutique.



Right now I have the Delux Gift set that includes Tiana and Prince Naveen from the Disney Movie "Princess and the Frog".  Tiana is Disney's first African American Princess that has caused a lot of excitement with parents.    This item is $23.99 on auction.

Princess and the Pea Delux Gift Set

I have been selling the Tiana doll since September and one parent bought 7 (for her daughter and all her nieces and nephews).  It is about time that Disney created a beautiful African American princess.  I've looked at the previews of the movie, "Princess and the Frog" and it's very different with Jazz 1920's music since it takes place in New Orleans during that era.  I already put on my calendar that the movie comes out December 11. 2009.



Here is the Tiana Sparkle Bag that comes with a Tiana Doll wearing the Petal Green wedding gown and 2 extra fashions.  This item is going for 12.99 + shipping and handling.
