Want a Relaxing Backyard? LOL!

Don't we all? I wish I had one...mine is full of four dogs. LOL But if I had a relaxing (quiet!) backyard, I'd dream of having a white picket fence....that was the idea behind this kit.

My new release! :-)
Cool, calm blues, fresh greens, and throw in some wood and dirt – you have a relaxing backyard retreat. Fly a kite, add some sunshine, green grass, and flowers! There are 7 patterned papers, 4 coordinating solids, and an incredible 35 elements in this kit. Hang tags from a branch, hang pictures from the two photo hangers, three whimsical trees, a house frame, window frame, and a realistic wood frame. Six words on tags, three ribbon flowers, two clouds, a picket fence, two wrinkled brown paper tags with threads, and a 12-inch scatter of glitter and beads. You can do soo much with this kit. It is very versatile, good for boys and girls, and has soo many element that you can use over and over again. 300 dpi and great quality!

And right now it is on sale for only $3.67! WAHOO! Hurry and snatch it up - it'll be great for all those picnic pictures you are going to take over the holiday weekend. :-)

An Awesome Recipe and a Teaser

Hi there! I don't know about you but I love raspberries. I can't get enough of them. I eat them fresh (my favorite), put them in pies, smoothies, swedish pancakes...you name it, I love it with raspberries. But this recipe I discovered today and it is soooo mouth watering that I just have to share it!


Raspberry Barbeque Sauce

3 garlic cloves, peeled
1/4 t olive or canola oil
1 1/4 cups unsweetened raspberries
3 T brown sugar
1 T balsamic vinegar
1 T light corn syrup
1 t molasses
1/2 t lemon juice
1/4 to 1/2 t crushed red pepper flakes
1/8 t salt
1/8 t pepper
dash onion powder

Place garlic on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil; drizzle with oil. Wrap foil around garlic. Bake at 425 for 15-20 minutes. Cool for 10-15 minutes.

Place softened garlic in a small saucepan. Add the remaining ingredients. Cook over medium-low heat for 15-20 minutes until sauce is thickened and bubbly. Remove from the heat; cool slightly. Transfer to a food processor blender; cover and process until smooth. Strain seeds. Store in refrigerator.

We used this on boiled and then barbequed country style ribs and I can't even begin to tell you how yummy they were! Natalie (our 2-year old) scarfed this up! I ate soo much that I'm still full hours later. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Tomorrow I'm making a raspberry-rhubarb pie and a lemon-raspberry loaf! My mouth is already watering...

Now for a teaser! I'm working on a new kit. It isn't finished yet, but should be very soon! Want a teaser? Look at these great colors! :-)
