But I am consolidating. One of my goals for this year was blog more...or better. I haven't done either one. At least not here.<br />
<br />
I have realized that in order to manage my family, real life job, and digi scrap business I need to consolidate and focus on what is really important.<br />
<br />
<b>My family is important</b>. And they deserve more of my time.<br />
<br />
<b>You are important</b>. And you deserve the best designs I can produce.<br />
<br />
To be my best me for all of you I need to trim some things from my life. This blog is one of them. <br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">You can find me at www.scrappingartistry.com or at www.Facebook.com/missysbits. Hope to see you there!!!! </span></b>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5945222006012738291.post-57521802210239271702012-02-14T15:12:00.000-05:002012-02-14T15:12:15.375-05:00{Not So} Explosive Brownies<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e9TGiNaKvG4/Tzq56q2FCqI/AAAAAAAABOA/jHDZ2tMNutY/s1600/BreeBrownies.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e9TGiNaKvG4/Tzq56q2FCqI/AAAAAAAABOA/jHDZ2tMNutY/s320/BreeBrownies.JPG" width="240" /></a><b>One of my personal goals for the new year has been to make more foods from scratch. </b> I used to cook all the time and lately we have been relying more and more on packaged foods. Preservatives... Yuck. <br />
<br />
So in keeping with that goal I made brownies Saturday night. <br />
<br />
They were awesome. Totally delish. Even my non chocolate eating husband loved them! <br />
<br />
{Princess B loved them too- she just wasn't so crazy about the high chair! I had to take a pic of that chocolate covered face before I finished setting her free!}<br />
<br />
I used the Brownie recipe off the <b>Toll House Baking Cocoa </b>container with some adjustments because I was not really prepared for brownies.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Here is what I used:</b><br />
<br />
1 1/3 cup granulated sugar<br />
1/3 cup brown sugar (unpacked)<br />
3/4 cup oil (softened butter would be ideal, but I was out of butter)<br />
2 Tbsp water<br />
2 large eggs<br />
2 tsp Amaretto ( I used Disaronno- If you want to be really un-explosive you could follow the recipe and use vanilla extract)<br />
1 1/3 cup all purpose flour<br />
3/4 cup Toll House Baking Cocoa<br />
1/2 tsp baking powder<br />
1/4 tsp salt<br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 350. Spray your favorite Pyrex bakeware (or whatever pan you wish. Pyrex explodes quite well though) with cooking spray. <br />
<br />
Combine sugar, oil (or butter) and water in large bowl. Add eggs and Amaretto. Stir until well mixed.<br />
<br />
Combine remaining dry ingredients in separate bowl. Add into sugar mixture and stir until well mixed (about 50 strokes).<br />
<br />
Bake 18-25 minutes.<br />
<br />
<b>Now...here is the important part:</b> Leave the Pyrex with the brownies on the stove over night. You can go ahead and cover them with aluminum foil or plastic wrap for freshness. In the morning, have your husband cook you breakfast. When he puts the sausage in the pan be sure he turns on the wrong burner...on high...and doesn't realize it for a good 5-10 minutes. Step back and KABOOM! You will have glass everywhere and flaming brownies on the stove.<br />
<br />
<b>Note the sarcasm in that last paragraph</b>. Please do not try to blow up your glass bakeware. Its highly dangerous and very messy. <br />
<br />
Thank God hubby had turned to open the refrigerator. Thank God we also gorged ourselves on brownies the night before so not too many were on fire. I didn't know brownies could burn like that!!<br />
<br />
I now have a very clean kitchen. We had to dismantle the stove to get to all the glass and molten brownie. I also discovered my home made dishwasher soap is excellent job cleaning the inside of my stove. And everyone in my family is okay. At the end of the day, that is the most important thing.<br />
<br />
But I sure wish I had a brownie. Or two...<br />

There is nothing better than the excitement of getting a new bike for Christmas as a child. I love seeing the look in J's eyes when he gets a new bike or scooter. I made this kit just for scrapping my little guy learning to ride his bike.

Its been a warm autumn in Florida and when winter officially starts in a few days I think its going to be an equally warm winter. There is something about 80 degrees that just doesn't quite feel like Christmas. But we have lots of family coming to visit from Ohio that will appreciate the sun and warm weather! <br />

That must be a new record in slackiness!! Things have been hectic on the homefront. Princess B is growing like crazy and J played fall ball. I miss having him in soccer but he is a much better baseball player than he was at soccer and he seems to enjoy it more. Just before Thanksgiving we took a trip to Helen, GA to spend some time playing in the autumn leaves. You just dont get those amazing colors in Florida. Now we are getting ready for our second Christmas with the princess- though the first one she was only 3 days old- and her first birthday! Its amazing how much more stuff we have to cram into December now that she is in our lives!</div><div> </div><div><br /></div><div>I have been busy designing too.

So, to get myself out of my slump I decided to enter the design competition at The Studio. A challenge is always a good way to push through a creative block. This weeks challenge was to create 5 papers and 12 elements using a pastel palette. I love soft colors so much more than bright ones so I found this one fun to complete. And now you get to go grab the freebie!!</div><div>

And a daughter who seems to be allergic. We first realized Princess B was allergic to Huggies when she was about 6 weeks old. I am a couponer so I bought whatever brand had the best price after coupons- and Huggies has great coupons! But after dealing with chronic diaper rash, we switched to Pampers and the rash went away. For a while. Now she is 7 months old and we have chronic diaper rash again. So I brought up the subject with the husband. Again.<div>
<br /></div><div>I try to be good. I try to reuse and recycle-go green yada yada. But my husband was vehemently opposed to cloth diapers. I brought them up when pregnant with both my son and daughter and he said no-way! I bought some cheap folded ones because they make great burp clothes and I swear he went cross eyed for a week! But cloth diapers breathe better. They are better for baby's bottom and they are environmentally friendly. (Please don't email me lecturing me about water and electricity use- most disposable diapers do not decompose. No matter how you slice it, that's not good). So I started researching. I knew we had to do an all-in-one because if it wasn't easy there was NO way he would participate. I knew we would have to do disposable liners to make getting rid of #2 cleaner. And I <b>knew</b> I would still be fighting an uphill battle. </div><div>
<br /></div><div>So, I ordered <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kushies-Reusable-Ultra-Diapers-Infants/dp/B0000649E1/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1312891343&sr=8-1">Kushies</a> Diapers and liners from Amazon. They were the most affordable all in one I could find with the best reviews. We got them in and I showed my husband the easy-peasy Velcro. I played show and tell and did my best sales pitch. And to my surprise- he didn't go cross eyed. He didn't even argue. It was almost disappointing to not have to use all my arguments! He was actually receptive to the idea- mostly. Our first night using them went well. And since he has put her in them with out me having to ask or nag and even #2 has been okay because of the handy dandy liners. He still wants her in disposables over night and she has to be in them for day care. But just going cloth part time has helped her poor little bottom so much. And I know that even using them part time will save us a ton of money over the long run- for me that's a win-win.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5945222006012738291.post-17477257630567022622011-07-13T21:04:00.006-04:002011-07-13T21:51:18.660-04:00Getting Settled In...I am finally starting to feel like I am getting settled at Divine. I have about a third of my goodies up and have put up some new overlays as well. I created these a long time ago and have used them many, many times in my kits. With the new shop coming together, I decided its time to share!!<img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Iht-LF_KWlc/Th5ByZ9U3gI/AAAAAAAABJ4/gvhZTVo1PT8/s400/mb_shabbiness_preview.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5629008918477069826" /><div><br /></div><div>I hope y'all like them as much as I do!! My whole Divine shop is still 40% off until the end of the month! </div><div><br /></div><div>In the real world, we just celebrated our son's 7th birthday. I don't feel old enough to have a seven year old! July is always super rainy in Florida and it never fails to pour on whatever day we try to have a party for him. We wanted this year to be a little bit special for him because he is still adjusting to not being the only child but the wonky weather limited our options. We decided to have a party at our local roller rink. It was sort of surreal to be at my childhood hangout with my childhood friends<b> and their kids</b>- especially since the place hasn't changed a bit! Seriously, I think its still the same paint and carpet from 15 years ago. And its still just $.75 to rent skates! Of course, I suspect the skates are the same too! Here are some pics from the big day:</div><div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">B and Grandma dancing- Miss B is proving to be quite the music lover!</div></div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-K_op6E-t2TQ/Th5ENnj2HYI/AAAAAAAABKQ/5lvH8Zdq8UE/s1600/DSC_0046.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-K_op6E-t2TQ/Th5ENnj2HYI/AAAAAAAABKQ/5lvH8Zdq8UE/s320/DSC_0046.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5629011585008016770" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">This is the face of serious concentration</div><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2P-gZz4cd7s/Th5EM-smbyI/AAAAAAAABKA/ht6loCH0qmE/s320/DSC_0038.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5629011574038884130" /><div style="text-align: center;">J was good sport about falling down</div><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-I5DlAOwJyOQ/Th5ENOr9WpI/AAAAAAAABKI/Hchbt1gVTNI/s1600/DSC_0039.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="text-align: left;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-I5DlAOwJyOQ/Th5ENOr9WpI/AAAAAAAABKI/Hchbt1gVTNI/s320/DSC_0039.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5629011578331159186" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">My hubs (white shirt) and his brother got in on the fun.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7YAJV_lxLFA/Th5I-YqC4RI/AAAAAAAABKY/32HPt_VUGXE/s320/DSC_0051.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5629016820867588370" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div></div><div style="text-align: center;">My two guys are so cute!

Last week I got a year of Sunday delivery of the St. Pete Times for $10. SCORE!! Then I got a pass to the <a href="http://www.pieraquarium.org/?page=AboutUsfrontpage">Pier Aquarium</a> in St. Pete for our family for $25. What's really great about this deal is that they reciprocate with a ton of other aquariums and museums. So we have a year's worth of visits planned and our admission is basically free!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>Our first visit to the Pier aquarium was a ton of fun! I couldnt get good pics inside the aquarium because they don't want you to use a flash, but we got great pics outside and managed to beat the rain! </div><div><br /></div><div>The St. Pete Pier. I love the retro look of the building. I hadnt been to the pier since a high school field trip. My son and his cousin had never been. They are talking about tearing it down, so I am glad we got to visit. </div><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WTOirSB8m8o/TgyK6MORwHI/AAAAAAAABIo/maJUiwruNiM/s400/Pier1.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624022766997061746" />The weather we were trying to beat.

There I said it. Lately, we have gotten a bad rap from that TV show. You know the one...I don't want to even say the name to give them any more publicity. People using fraudulent coupons and clearing shelves so there is nothing left for anyone else. Using their kids as their little couponing slaves and hoarding so much food they can't possibly use it before it expires.<br /><br />Okay, rant over. I am not that kind of couponer. I'm the one who is happy to save $15 or $20 off groceries so my husband can have the brand of expensive pickles he likes and we can have some extra treats in the pantry. And I am fortunate to be able to donate to our local homeless shelter the things on their wish list.<br /><br />I wanted to share with you a couple of places that I go to to find the best deals on stuff:<br /><br />Vocal Point- they have coupons, samples, and special offers. This morning they sent me coupons for Motts for Tots. <a href="http://www.vocalpoint.com/mottsfortots">http://www.vocalpoint.com/mottsfortots</a></div><div><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 197px; height: 109px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" border="0" alt="" src="http://media.vocalpoint.com/cdn/prod/areas/mottsfortots/images/btn_blog3.png" /></div><div>There are tons of deals to be found on Facebook too! One page I follow is <a href="http://www.facebook.com/DealWiseMommy">Deal Wise Mommy</a>. Another is <a href="http://www.facebook.com/CouponGeek">Coupon Geek</a>. Both share coupons and great deals to be found around the web and in stores. I know there are tons more- you could make a full time job out of clipping coupons and shopping around. But thats when you fall into that area of being a little bit extreme ;)</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5945222006012738291.post-10529367270144650642011-06-14T22:17:00.004-04:002011-06-14T22:34:51.370-04:00Big Big Day!<div><div>My beautiful Princess B tried to crawl tonight!

I am sad to share that Enchanted Studio Scraps has decided to close their doors forever. This came about suddenly and unexpectly as a result of technical issues. I am so sad to see my digital home close its doors, but I am looking forward to new opportunities.</div><div> </div><div>In the meantime, my blog is in serious need of a facelift! Please excuse my dust as I move things around and figure them out. I am determined to learn all of this css and html stuff so I don't want to have someone do it for me this time. It might get pretty ugly around here while I am learning!</div><div> </div><div>Now for a creepy-funny story;</div><div> </div><div>My daughter's daycare keeps the infants in a separate little building. The baby cottage is an adorable little log cabin style cottage and the babies are protected from all the big kid germs. Its one of the many reasons I love the school so much. We are usually the first arrivals each morning and they open the cottage when we get there. </div><div> </div><div>This morning a moth flew in behind Ms. Ashley. I scooped it out the door and turned to go back inside. As I stepped in the door, I felt something on the back of my neck and brushed it off thinking the moth had found its way back inside. I was holding my daughter talking to Ashley and I felt something crawling on my arm. I looked down to see a 2 inch scorpion running down my arm. EEEK! I don't do things that sting. I jumped and screemed and brushed it off my arm and stomped on it so fast that I don't think Princess B knew what to think. She was laughing though, so I didnt scare her. I'm just so glad that neither one of us was stung.</div><div> </div><div>I have decided that since my heart rate climbed so high this morning, I am excused from exercising later, right?</div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5945222006012738291.post-19293860773034556822011-04-05T05:34:00.007-04:002011-04-06T06:58:00.315-04:00Fairy Finds and More!<div>I cannot believe its been 2 weeks since I blogged!

In fact, as I type this my husband and J are riding at <a href="http://www.dep.state.fl.us/gwt/guide/regions/westcentral/trails/with_croom_motor.htm">Croom Motorcycle Area</a>. We had promised J that he would get to spend a day there with dad over spring break and today is that day! He was so excited this morning he was up early and volunteering to brush his teeth and comb his hair. Usually we only have to make him do these things! Here is a recent pic of J with his wheels! <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584363498866122882" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XuPtVMpi35A/TX-lA9aSoII/AAAAAAAABEs/LSeh3aXM9oQ/s400/162975_1474189223928_1509600274_30992954_4106578_n.jpg" /><br /><br />A few years ago the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) instituted a piece of legislation called Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008. This law was designed to protect our children from the harms of lead in the products they use. The problem with this law is that it is so broadly written that it also affects dirt bikes, ATVs, skateboards, and bicycles. I don't know about you, but I have never seen a kid sitting on the side of the road sucking on his skateboard!<br /><br />The implications Of this act are huge! ATV and dirt bike dealers will no longer be able to sell smaller models. My son's little pw50 that he learned to ride on would be illegal for me to sell or pass on to someone else. Because of the public outcry the CPSC placed a temporary stay of enforcement on dirt bike and ATV dealers so that the issues with the act could be straightened out. That stay is set to expire soon and at this time there is no resolution in place.<br /><br />Representative Danny Rehberg of Montana has proposed a bill called <a href="http://www.americanmotorcyclist.com/rights/issueslegislation">Kids Just Want to Ride Act, H.R. 412</a>. The purpose of this act is to undo some of the broadness of the CPSC. No matter how you feel about kids on bikes, please take a moment to consider the economic implications of this act. Do we really need yet another industry crippled NOW??? Dealers don't just sell small bikes to families with children. Smaller dirt bikes and ATVs are also used by small adults. I am petite and the size bike I would choose for myself will be eliminated if this law is not rectified. Please take a moment to <a href="http://www.americanmotorcyclist.com/rights/issueslegislation">contact your state representative </a>and support this bill!<br /><br />Now back to your regularly scheduled programming ;)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5945222006012738291.post-1832360208059841552011-03-09T07:21:00.000-05:002011-03-09T07:21:00.830-05:00Wild Wednesday!Today I get to go with J's class to chaperone their field trip to <a href="http://www.lowryparkzoo.com/">Lowry Park Zoo </a>in Tampa. I wonder who will be wilder- the kids or the animals?! Just kidding...sort of! Actually, most of the kids in J's class are pretty cool. And I really like his teacher so it should be a fun day. Parents arent allowed to ride the bus down with the kids but we can sign our kids out and stay after the other kids leave so we will be able to have some J & mommy time too. I know he misses being an only child sometimes even though he really loves his baby sister. <div><br /><div></div><br /><div>But don't worry!
