.....creative fun!

Just sharing a few layouts I finished up today. They were all in different stages of completion, just needed final touches! Layout above and below are from Christmas 2008, the year we celebrated in Carrollton, right after Morgan was born. In the picture above, Grayson is "writing" on his new art easel from Neenie. Below is Kelsey enjoying a makeup kit from Sissy Jen.

Close up of above layout.

Below is Morgan's happy smile, these pics were taken this past holiday season.

Morgan again, last summer. He has sure grown a lot since then.

It's a happy day when I get to spend a bit of it on scrappin'.

Kelsey loves to read cookbooks as much as I do. She recently looked through my newest one and quickly found something she wanted to try. Sometimes she likes to cook, sometimes it's a request for ME to make it. This was a very simple dessert to make and very, very yummy---especially "hot out of the oven". Give it a try, it's quick and easy.

Easy Cherry Cobbler

1 can (20 ounce) cherry pie filling

1/4 teaspoon almond extract

2 cups biscuit/baking mix

(I used Bisquick)

2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar, divided

1/2 cup milk

2 tablespoons margarine, melted

In a large bowl, combine pie filling and extract, spread into a 9" deep-dish pie pan. Bake uncovered, at 400* for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the baking mix and 2 tablespoons sugar. In another bowl, combine the milk and margarine. Stir milk mixture into dry ingredients until a soft dough forms. Drop the dough by spoonfuls over the warmed pie filling. Sprinkle with the remaining sugar. Bake, uncovered, at 400* for 20-25 minutes or until the topping is golden brown. Serve warm.

It was even good the next morning for breakfast, warmed in the microwave:) I think I'll try apple pie filling next time, yum!!! Let me know if you give it a try!!!
