Monday's Class!

This was the party treat!

We had alot of fun but it was too much too fast!  I designed a lot maybe, yeah definitely too many artsy cards,  And  I might have overwhelmed my ladies a tad!!  So here are some fun pictures.  Congrats to the newbies who stuck it out and persevered!! I will say that I blame this entirely on Stampin Up!  If they didn't create so much stinkin cute stuff I wouldn't have had to make so many awesome cards!!  What can I say I'm sold on there stuff!! 

On a non- stamping front:
I had requests for my cookie and quiche recipes:

 Snickerdoodle recipe
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup applesauce
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
3 eggs

3 teaspoons cream of tartar
4 3/4 cups flour
Glaze:
1/4 stick butter melted
1/2 cup powder sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

How to:

Cream together the butter, applesauce and both sugars. Beat in the eggs one at a time and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients and mix well. scoop the dough into 1 inch balls and toss them in the cinnamon sugar. Place the balls on a greased cookie sheet and flatten with bottom of glass.  Bake in the oven for 8 - 10 minutes. take out while still puffy and light colored.

I love what the pioneer woman does after she cooks a meal, she shows the messy kitchen the says:
"Just keeping it real". Here's my version!

I pray everyone loved their cards and had a great time!
