Happy New Year!

Here's Stella all ready to celebrate the New Year!


I found this recipe for margarita balls and knew I had to make them for New Years and for some friends who are known to have a fondness for Margaritas. Here is the recipe from http://www.allrecipes.com/


Margarita Balls I
1 (12 ounce) package vanilla wafers
1/2 pound ground almonds
4 ounces white chocolate
1/4 cup tequila
1/4 cup orange marmalade
2 tablespoons light corn syrup

DIRECTIONS
Mix 1 box (12 oz) vanilla wafers, crushed into crumbs, with 1/2 lb ground blanched almonds.
Melt four 1 oz squares white chocolate according to package directions.
In blender, process tequila, orange marmalade, and light corn syrup until smooth. Stir, along with melted chocolate, into crumb mixture.
Shape into 1 inch balls and coat with sugar. Store in refrigerator.


EnJoy!

Welcome to my NEW blog!

Its about time right? Many of you know me from my postings on the ICE Blog (www.iceescape.blogspot.com) but Ive decided I'd like to have my own blog, where I can post more than just my scrapping prjects but more about life of being a Mom, Wife, Friend, Scrapbooker & Christian.
This year I have a few scrapbooking goals. I plan to participate in the www.faithsisters.com "His Holy Name 2009 Challenge", maybe TRY to do a few of the "weekly scripture challenges" (I have a whole 7 gypsies turn-about I need to fill up with something crafty!) and I am going to participate in the 365 project! http://photojojo.com/content/tutorials/project-365-take-a-photo-a-day/
Whew! All along with hopefully getting some more pages in albums, working on some home decore projects ( that Ive put off forever), spending more time in the word growing closer to God,and becoming the person He wants me to be, and try to spend more quality time with my kiddos & hubby. Looks like it will be a busy year- but one taht I am soooo excited about.
This year is a year of growing. Learing to seek God more, trust Him more, and love Him more.
So check back often as I journey through this year in photos, projects, LO's, and just rambelings!
