Apple Dumplings

Today I want to share a super easy recipe that many already know about but want to reshare:

Apple Dumplings
Ingredients:
1 can crescent rolls
2 tart/firm apples
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter (I tend to use a lot less, more like 1/4 cup)
1 teaspoon cinnamon (I like to use more)
1 can Mountain Dew

Directions:
Spray a 13 x 9 baking dish.  Slice apples into 8 pieces.  Roll half of the crescent roll around each apple.  Place the rolled slices in the dish.  Melt butter, and add the sugar and cinnamon and pour mixture over the apples.  Open and pour Mountain Dew over everything.  Bake at 350 degrees for 40 - 45 minutes or untill golden brown.  Let cool, but serve warm and enjoy. 

Such an easy recipe and great for summer with homeade ice cream.

Okay, so it is time to start a new chapter. Today I really want to try and start working towards a new life goal. One day I would love to be able to create and help others find their creative side.

Since I have been away so long I would like to let you know a little more. I am the Business Development Manager and work with a sales team in the states of Georgia, Alabama, and Florida. I am based out of one of our Georgia offices.

When I am not working at my "Real" job, I direct a church choir, sell Mary Kay, and create. I love to work with fiber, ribbon, other textiles, paper, stamps and ink.

In the next few days I will post some pictures of my recent creating. I look forward to sharing with you my creative journey and hope that it inspires you to become creative as well. I will share the things I love most. Fabric, cooking, crafting, stamping and other interesting things I come across.

The holidays

Ok, I said I was going to do better with my blog and let's face it I have been terrible. So with the holidays in full swing I am not even going to pretend to do well at this. But I am going to try. Just to update I have really been doing a lot of sewing. I have found something else that I really enjoy. It is very calming and sometimes a HUGE pain. So in regards to this blog there will be a few changes. Not only will I be posting about all things paper but will be adding fabric and other wonderful craft mediums. I hope that each of you have a wonderful and very Merry Christmas! Enjoy family and friends and the true meaning of this season. Happy crafting and Merry Christmas!

update

Okay so I haven't been real good about updating my blog but I hope to do better with this.  I know, I know, I have said that before but I am really going to try and do better.  I have taking a break w paper crafting and done a lot more sewing.  I really have enjoyed that and there is something very calming about it.  I have been learning a little more and will show some of my projects soon. 

As far as everything else, I am still working with my choir and have picked up selling Mary Kay so I may start posting some beauty tips on here as well.  I really enjoy the skin care and helping women to look their best.  I am still sales and marketing director of the company I have been with and enjoy working with a phenomenal sales team.  So this is where things have been.  I'll try and do better and start posting some recent projects.
