FIONA THE FROG



She hopped onto my finger and that is where she will stay until she goes into her little castle to rest and waits for her next outing.



My Auntie D gave me Fiona for Christmas.



I think Fiona is just gorgeous.



Did I tell you how much I just love Frogs.

THE CARROTS ARE IN



Finally we were able to pull out the carrots. We have had so much rain and then we got the cold weather, we just were not able to pull them out until yesterday. Now I need to freeze these babies and store them away. Fresh grown garden carrots are just soooo sweet and very tasty. Yum, can't wait to cook them.

Hope you had a wonderful weekend.

I JUST LOVE SNOWBALLS!

Especially the ones you can eat. I made this for Valentine's and it was so delicious.




Found the recipe on the Food & Family Magazine.

Here's the recipe:

1 pkg devil's food cake mix
1 pkg. 8oz. cream cheese, softened
1 egg
2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
1 pkg. 3.4 oz. vanilla flavor instant pudding
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 cup cold milk
2 cups thawed cool whip whipped topping
1 cup flake coconut

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare cake mix as per instructions on box. Pour batter in a 2 1/2 quart ovenproof bowl.
Beat cream cheese, egg and granulated sugar until well blended, spoon into center of batter in bowl. Bake 1 hour and 5 min. or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in bowl 10 min. Invert onto cake plate and make sure it is completely cooled before icing.

ICING: While cake is baking, beat dry pudding mix, powdered sugar and milk in medium bowl with whisk 2 min Stir in cool whip. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Frost with pudding mixture. Cover with coconut.

Hope you try this, it is really like a great big snowball cupcake.

Finally.... A Post



Wow, It sure has been some time since I last posted. I was having trouble uploading my pics. I did'nt know what to post so I just posted my little Christmas tree. I didn't have time to put up my big tree for Christmas, but I guess it turned out to be OK as I didn't have to spend to much time taking down my decorations. Hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year. I know...I'm a little late. I now need to start thinking of Valentine decorations.

Well, just wanted to let everyone know I'm still here. Hope for a better post tomorrow.

13 Days to Halloween Blog Party!!! ooOOOooooOOoooOOoo EEK!

Come join in the Halloween Party hosted by the sweet Sharon at Fiberdoodles and Whimsy http://fiberdoodlesandwhimsy.blogspot.com/ and see all who are participating in this fabulous 13 days of Halloween parties.

I would like to show you how to make Tootsie Roll Spiders.

You will need black netting, 4 tootsie rolls, and 2 black pipe cleaners. I used the butter plastic lid for a pattern in cutting the netting. You will need to cut two circles of netting for each spider.

Place 4 tootsie rolls in center of netting.


Cut the 2 pipe cleaners in half. You will then have 4 pieces of pipe cleaners. Twist the four pieces of pipe cleaners around netting enclosing the four tootsie rolls.

These will become the eight legs of the spider.


Shape and bend the pipe cleaner legs.


Now you have a completed Tootsie Roll Spider Treat.



Be sure to come back and visit for the remainder of the 13 days of Halloween.
Happy Haunting!
Irma :)
