Memorial Day Cooking

With Memorial Day weekend coming up soon, I thought I would share this website. It has many Memorial Day recipes. There are party ideas, some great cook out recipes and a recipe and instructions to make a flag cake! They can be found at the All Recipes website.

Trimming Down My Blog

I've finally decided to go back to the standard "Minima" blog template and use the 2 column again.
The 3 column templates are nice and I was able to load more gadgets and widgets on the sides but I think they "bog" down the blog. Sometimes I am a very impatient person and I do not like a long wait for a page to load, so I'm trying to speed up the page loading time. I'm sure that any reader will appreciate this.
Since I like to change the looks of my blog often, this will also make it a lot simpler for me to change the background by using the freebie backgrounds that are out there. Most of them are made to be used with this Minima template. There are so many to choose from! I do plan to learn how to make and install my own backgrounds one day when the mood hits me.
I have given up some widgets, and a couple of slide shows. One was my scrap pages, and I also removed my awards slide. I have made the decision that for now I will not be posting any awards, mainly because of problems passing them on. I do appreciate each award I received and feel deeply honored that even one award was passed on to me. In the future I may place them back on the blog, but for now they are filed away in a safe place.
Enjoy my blog and enjoy your day!

Mothers Day Bookmarks

These bookmarks would make a last minute little add in gift if you need a little extra for Mothers Day. I made these at 300 pixels per inch and they will print out at 2 inches x 6 inches. They look real nice printed out and laminated.

Mother - Word Art

I played around in my digital program and made some Mother's Day word art that would be good for cards or scrap book pages. Feel free to download a copy if you can use it. The zip file has 4 separate word arts and all are png. format with a transparent background. They are made at 300 ppi. and can be re sized to fit your needs.

My Birdie Has a Name

After searching and going over so many names and taking into consideration all the suggestions, I have chosen Sugar! She (or he) is a very sweet bird and it just seems natural to call it my little Sugar.
Thanks to all who suggested names. I considered each and every name many times but after all that, Sugar just seems to be the right one.
Sugar was suggested by Crafty Sue. Thank you Susan, for naming my parakeet!

Name the White Birdie

I have a beautiful little albino parakeet that has no name. I've had this little parakeet for a couple of months but I have not come up with the perfect name. One problem is that I don't know if it is a he or a she. It has a friend that I named Sunny because of it's beautiful yellow color. I was told that Sunny was probably a female but after getting to know both of these parakeets behavior I really believe Sunny is a male and the white bird has more behavior of a female birdie.
I am looking for a name that could be used for either gender or maybe a name that the spelling could be changed and still sound the same if needed.
Please watch my slide show and if you have a name suggestion, click on the comment section below and leave your suggestion.

Do It Yourself Jewelry

I found these pretty do-it-yourself jewelry pieces in the beading section of WalMart.
The top photo shows three of the sections, but before I used part of the set, it originally had 6 sections of connected beads.
I think it would have made a nice bracelet by just adding the closure to the ends but I decided to make earrings and a pendant on a chain.
The set turned out pretty and I still have enough left to make a second set.
