Mmm...cheesecake!

After a few slow days, I had another good day. Yes!

I am a huge fan of cheesecake. Yummy, yummy, yummy. A couple months ago I tried a recipe at Kraft Foods called Apple Pecan Cheesecake. It was delicious! I served it at a family dinner, and even those who traditionally don't like baked cheesecakes loved this one. Today I tried one called Oreo Chocolate Cream Cheesecake. Also very yummy, but not quite as good as a recipe I found years ago (maybe by Nestle?) called Chocolate Velvet Pie. Still, I look forward to enjoying it for the next few days.

Misty Cato (a totally awesome designer who sells at Sweet Shoppe) featured me on her blog today (near the bottom of her entry). I was totally flattered. My layout was inspired by a paper LO called Wanted by Severine D, which I saw on Simple Scrapbooks Magazine's web site.

Yesterday evening we went to a cookout at the church to celebrate Pioneer Day. The whole community was invited. The food was fabulous--Dutch oven potatoes, fried chicken, and a potluck of salads and desserts. Yummy!

Spotlighted!

I'm featured in the member spotlight today, over at The Digi Chick's blog. Check it out!

More digi scrap stuff: I did a LO on Friday for the Neapolitan challenge at Sweet Shoppe Designs (which also fulfilled the red, white, and blue requirements for Friday's color challenge on SSD's blog). A gal named Rose at SSD really liked it and asked if she could post it on her blog. Click here to visit her blog.

Caden totally loved the fireworks Friday night. The first couple "booms" made him jump, but as soon as he figured out where they were coming from, he settled down and enjoyed the show. What a cutie!

And in other happy, random news: I won 2 gift certificates at The Digi Chick for participating in their challenges last month. Wahoo! This month's prize is $150 in gift certificates...think I have a chance? May as well try, right?
