New Recipe

To say that I love Pinterest is an understatement! I am addicted! I love to try some of the recipes that I pin. I went shopping this afternoon and Sammy decided to try one of the recipes.









I went ahead and took pics on my iPad screen to show you the recipe and the website. The blog that I found the pin from looks great so you need to check it out! The recipe turned out to be pretty good. It still needs a little something though. The filling may need a little less cheese and some sort of seasoning to add a little pizazz to the taste. We had a lot of filling left over so we put it in the fridge and are going to try making a grilled cheese sandwich with it later in the week. I'll let you know how it turns out.

I'm not too thrilled with the Vogue that I bought yesterday! You have to get to almost page 200 before you even see words on a page. The first 200 pages are nothing but advertisements. I'm not loving it so far but I'm just on page 200 so I still have awhile to go.

I can now get back to my life...

For the last month my life has revolved around cars. I am president of our towns Merchants Association and we have a huge car show every year in August. As president I am one of the main organizers of the event. I am one big stress ball the whole month and my poor husband has to endure it all! I always hate to see August roll around because I know that my business will suffer. I stay so busy with the show that it's hard to juggle both. The car show is how we raise money to put on the Christmas Parade and other events throughout the year so we work really hard to make the show great. But thankfully its all over and now I feel like I can get back to my life and my business.

Tonight I was in the Dollar General and seen the new In Style Magazine. It is huge with 652 pages. The colors are still bright, as they were this summer, but I was so surprised to see so many beads on clothing for the fall. Beads on shoes too! One of my favorites though was the Jewelry Inspiration Page. The colors are so pretty and gem tone. This page is great inspiration for beaders because we can figure out how to make our own pretties with beads. The jewelry on the page is made up of mostly gems but the right Swarovski can give you the same look! As a jewelry designer I always have my eyes open for inspiration and this magazine is a great one! If your feeling like you need some inspiration then this magazine is a must.

I also purchased the new Vogue magazine which has a whopping 916 pages. I'll let you know about it later in the week.
