I had two sheets of inkjet shrinkydinks, for the longest time. I have been "afraid" to use them, because they were a little on the expensive side. I know, $8.00 for two 8 1/2x11 sheets doesn't sound too bad, but I was afraid that I would mess them up and it would all be a waste. Well, they turned out pretty good, and I have made two pair of earrings (already sent one pair out, and didn't take a pic) But here is a pair I made for my sister, along with a charm bracelet. She likes pandas, and I liked the cupcake. The little girl is our niece. Her favorite color is purple, so the other charms have a purple bead in the center. What do you think? Anyone want a personalized charm bracelet?????

ok, this is what happens when you take your own picture. I made my Mom a scrapbook about her life accomplishments. I included pictures of each of us kids, when were were babies, kids, and now. This is my Now picture. Whenever I try to take a picture of myself, it always looks like I am craning my neck...or some silly nonsens. Oh well, it did the job, and gave my mom a smile. That was definitely worth the effort.

This is me and Mark Richards from Lite 98.7. I was fortunate enough to be able to go to the Taste of Home Cooking Show this past year, and 98.7 hosted it. I love his smile. I hope I am not breaking any copywright laws by posting this. It is my picture, so I should be able to post it. Anyway, I really enjoyed the show, and my sister who was with me, also had a grand time. She is the one who likes to cook. I cook, because I like to eat...LOL!!!! We did learn some great tricks while there. If you have one in your area..."Taste of home cooking show"...you might like to check it out. It really is worth a visit.
