Sad day..

J & I have wanted to go biking our greenway in town for several weeks now, and we finally got the chance to try it this morning.... BUT about two miles down the trail, J had a bike spill and was yelling out in agony.  I ended up having to take him to the emergency room where many hours later, we found out he has a very badly broken clavicle.  So bad that he has to have surgery to put in a metal plate so that the bone can heal.  Poor J!  It's going to be long, frustrating recovery for my guy.. so prayers for strength for both us please!  (Mostly him, though!)  :)

Tea-Totally Terrific!

Hi, everyone!  It's been a long time!  I can't believe it's already October, but I'm also excited that it's fall.  I'm feeling refreshed by this cooler weather.

So my sister-in-law really likes tea so I got inspired to make her a tea wreath after I saw this really cute wreath on this blog.  Hers is so cute--probably better than mine, but I had a lot of fun making.  They're really easy... and VERY inexpensive!  (especially if you have a mom who gets lots of tea from her other daughter.. not me! ha ha!)  The blog link I posted has all of the directions step-by-step but I posted pictures showing my progress.  And, of course, I had to post a picture of what my buddy, Bruce did while I was crafting away!  These are the pictures of how mine turned out.  I had some more pictures but had difficulty getting the pictures to line up.. and wasn't patient enough to work more on it.. :)   I used a record holder for one of the wreaths and the cardboard from a pack of scrap book paper for the second wreath.

Also... I  tried a really good recipe the other day!  It's a Mexican Lasagna recipe, and it is so delicious!  It makes a ton.. so you can always freeze some of it and eat off of it for several meals.  It's unlike most Mexican lasagna recipes that I've ever seen.  :)

I'm also aware that my captions are pretty dorky.
