Monday Update

#2 I have made two new recipes. Sorry no pictures. Blueberry scones with lemon glaze. They turned out okay, I think they needed a little more milk than the recipe called for. I'm going to make these using a little more milk for my tea party in April.

The other new recipe was pulled pork in my new slow cooker. I had a bottle of Mo's BBQ sauce and this turned out amazing!

55. Enter a card making contest. It's not really a real contest more of a design challenge.

I used Two Scoops paper from Basic Grey and So Much Love for the stamps (stamps by Lizzie Anne Designs).

89. Go on a double date 1/23/2011 Last night we went to dinner with Randy and Rena at a wonderful Italian restaurant near our house. It was great hanging out with the two of them!

#74

74. Send three random cards to friends. I actually sent 4, Cassie, Colette, Gina, and Jamie!

#2

Another new dish: PF Changs chicken lettuce wraps!

This recipe was great but I messed up the cellophane noodles.

63. Attend a swanky New Year’s Eve Party

Not much of a swanky outfit ;)

End of year recap

I am now 363 days into my 1001 days and I have completed 34 of my 101 things!

In the past few weeks I have completed #8, #52, #67, and #76

8. Invite friends over to cook a meal together. On December 18 I had 8 people over and I cooked dinner. It was somewhat like a traditional Christmas dinner with ham, turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, green beans, stuffing, and rolls. This has become a yearly tradition with my friends and next year I want to do more of a cocktail party.



52. Make a quilt to give as a gift. It was a pillow but I did quilt it!


67. Get a massage. I got a massage, manicure and pedicure from Mindy!! She gives the best massages.
