Part of the Reason I've Been Absent from Blogging

I thought I would share some pictures of my vacation with all of you.I spent a week in Mexico with some girlfriends. We had a wonderful time shopping, eating, drinking, & hanging out at the beach. We stayed right on the beach & it was fabulous.

 

 This is the pool area.

 Pic from our room on the 6th floor.

 Enjoying the sights & sounds of the ocean.

 If you couldn't walk to your destination, you rode on these golf cart taxis. Fun!! Fun!!

And this is their Kmart. Hehe!!

It's nice to have some memories of warm weather on a cold, rainy day.

Have a wonderful weekend all~Becky

I'm Still Here and A Long Overdue Thank You

Hello Blogging Friends~

Just popping in to let you all know that I am doing fine. I've just been super busy. Thank you for emailing me to check up on me.

I have to work today, but wanted to say a very very belated Thank you to Lil Raggedy Angie. She had a giveaway over a month ago & I was one of the lucky winners. I think she knew I was struggling with my creating because she sent me a wonderful pattern with some beautiful fabrics. Thank you so much Angie. Unfortunately, I haven't touched the goodies except to take them out of the box. I still haven't gotten my creating MOJO back yet. Make sure you stop by Angie's blog to say HI. You can find her here http://lilraggedyangie.blogspot.com/

Have a great day~Becky

Fabulous Recipe Found on Pinterest

Okay~so something is going on here. I have this wonderful underlining on my blog & can't get it off, so I'm just going to post like this. I know it's bad when my son can't figure it out.

Don't know what happened, but it's gone!! Yippee!! So while checking out pinterest for days & days, I decided to finally try one of the recipes that I pinned. I tried the Sweet & Spicy Bacon wrapped Chicken & it was fabulous!! The best part about it, was it was super easy to make & I had all the ingredients. This is before baking.

And this is after it came out of the oven. The only thing I would do different was put it under the broiler for a bit to crisp up the bacon. I think it would also be great on the grill.

If you would like to try this recipe, you can find it here http://diaryofarecipeaddict.blogspot.com/2011/07/sweet-spicy-bacon-chicken.html.

In other news, I'm on overnights for the next two weeks. Not looking forward to it.

Have a wonderful night all~Becky

Happy Valentine's Day

Wishing all my blogging friends a VERY HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!

Whatever you do today, make it a good day!!

I have to close at work tonight, so I made some cookies for my coworkers.

Have a beautiful day~Becky

Look at What Arrived in the Mail

Happy Friday!! It's overcast & snowing here today~the perfect day to stay indoors & do some creating. Too bad I have to leave for work in a couple of hours.

I want to show you all the goodies that arrived in the mail last week. Denise from http://wwwprairieblue.blogspot.com/ was having a blog giveaway & I was the lucky winner. If you are not familiar with her blog, you should pop over for a visit. She has a wonderful way with words & I always feel better after visiting her blog.

Here are the goodies she blessed me with. A wonderfully prim fabric covered box, a pretty little fabric covered journal, and some beautiful cards with a pen for writing my notes.

I thought I had the perfect place for the box in my blue cabinet, but it was a wee bit bigger than I thought it would be so I placed it next to my mini cabinet. I love it here. It fits perfectly.

The little blue journal found a home in my blue cupboard. It sits right in the front on the bottom shelf. Isn't it just adorable?? When I unwrapped it, I was oohing & aahing. My son came out to see what the commotion was all about & rolled his eyes at me when I showed him. A future man who just doesn't understand. Hehe!!

The notecards are so pretty. I'm not sure I will use them. They may end up displayed somewhere in the house. Thank you so much Denise for the beautiful goodies.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!

Hugs~Becky

Wanna See My New Baby??

This baby was my Christmas present from my dear hubby. My old suburban was just not very dependable anymore, so we bit the bullet & bought a "new" used vehicle. She holds a ton of goodies~perfect for the thrift stores and antique shops. And she will come in handy when Marie aka Old Lady Morgan & I finally meet up & have a day of power shopping. She doesn't know it yet, but I'm planning on having her show me where all the great estate sales are. Although maybe we will take her vehicle & try to shove all our goodies in that. I hear she's really good at figuring out how to get oversized packages into smaller vehicles. Hehe!!


Have a wonderful day my friends! I'm off to do some creating.

Hugs~Becky

Busy Day...New Valentine Goodies

Happy Friday!! Today was a day off work, so I decided to finally make some goodies. I made this bowl of hearts & a few others from an old quilt that I had laying around. Each one is unique. They all are about 4 inches. I wrapped some grungy cheesecloth around each one and attached a tag with a rusty crusty jingle bell & rusty pin. They look wonderful in a wooden bowl.

Here are some close up shots. Remember, I'm a terrible photographer, so these look much better in person.


#1 says Be Mine



#2 says Valentine

#3 says Cutie pie

#4 says Love
