Friday the 13th

2011-05-13T22:10:00.001-07:00

Well I am not a superstitious person, I know God is in control. He is mighty and he answers prayers. So Friday the 13th, is just that, a Friday in May to rejoice in The Lord!!

One prayer we have had lately is to be able to move out of my sisters house. Her and her husband took us in a year ago, we are sooo grateful. It has been an amazing learning experience, we have all learned so much about each other and ourselves. God puts amazing people in our lives everyday and I am lucky to have such a wonderful family.

I started a new business this week, I am working out all the details still but I plan on helping businesses raise money for charity by hosting Boutiques in their break room. I call it "Boutiques To You" Let us bring the shopping to you!

I am looking for larger companies, schools or non-profits that may be interested in hosting a fundraiser Boutique please have them contact me.

Here is my new web-site Boutiques To You

Mother's Day 2011

2011-05-08T08:25:00.000-07:00

Happy Mother's Day
Thank you so much for being a part of my life.
No matter what part you play, big or small I am thankful to have so many amazing people who love and support me.
Thank you so much to my amazing sister and brother-in law who have allowed us to stay in their home for the last year. Your amazing love and patients have been so appreciated.
Hope you all have a great day!

I know it is a busy time in all of our lives and that many people’s financial situations have changed over the last few years. As you know my family has had many challenges financially just like so many others. God has been teaching us just how blessed we are and even though we are not in the same place financially we have more blessings than we can count. I have been reminded time and again through this journey that giving is such a key, helping those who may not be able to help themselves. I have found a charity called Scrapbook Royalty that does just that. They give from their heart through crafting events to raise money for noble causes. I have joined them by giving of my time in helping to raise funds for different charities, donating handmade items for raffles and giving a portion of my sales on Etsy to them. They are hosting a 3-day event in November to raise money for a charity I feel passionate about; Susan G. Komen, it supports breast cancer awareness and early detection. Like the 3-day walk Susan G. Komen puts on I will be required to raise at least $2000. My personal goal is to raise over $3000 and would love for your help.
I am participating in this event for many reasons; the first would be to celebrate the success of early detection in my life. My grandmother Cecelia Decoteau was diagnosed with breast cancer when I was 19 and has been cancer free for 13 years and one of my best friends Sharon Carpenter was diagnosed with breast cancer but has been cancer free for 7 years and Amy Larsen one of my best friends sisters. The second reason for me participating many of you may not know but I have personally had a large lump and after testing am blessed to say it was not cancer. Imagine being in your mid twenties and finding a lump, fear! I have a strong relationship with Jesus and know everything works for his glory, it was a wakeup call. The third and most important reason is for my daughter and yours the women of our future. I am truly blessed to have a husband who supports me and help me raise money so we can give back to others. I will be excepting donations two ways, send me a check made out to Scrapbook Royalty or go to their web-site and donate in my name there.
https://www.scrapbookroyalty.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=17&Itemid=100044

I will also be hosting fundraising events through October if you have any handmade items, craft items I can sell or gift certificates you would like to donate I could use them to raise funds as well.
Please help raise awareness and find a cure. Please don’t forget getting regular screening tests is the best way for women to lower their risk of dying from breast cancer. Screening tests can find breast cancer early, when it's most treatable, so do your monthly self exams and visit your Doctor for your Mammogram.
Thanks for your help!

Saturday April 3 12-3 Pm

call the store to sign up.

Love me some Mod Podge and we will use it for this frame.

My new class

2010-02-12T19:55:00.000-08:00

My next class will be at

Metropolitan Scrapbook Company

Chino, CA

We don't have the details ironed out so keep checking

their web-site and my blog for all the details.

It should be at the end of March or begining of April.

I am so happy with how this turned out. I used Mod Podge to cover the front of a frame with pages from a Bible I got at a thrift store. I sprayed some pages with Glimmer Mist (by Tattered Angels) and made them into flowers. I am going to add pictures to the two matts I added and in the center of my daughter and niece. After this picture was taken I added some doilies that I sprayed with pink glimmer mist. Once it is on Metro's web-site in the next week or so you will be able to see it complete. Thanks for checking it out. Hope to see you at the class.

Frogs for Breakfast

2010-01-20T15:03:00.000-08:00

Have you heard, I sell my craft on Etsy. I enjoy working with my hand being creative and decided to open an Etsy store to sell what I make. I have over 40 items for sale right now and would love for you to come check them out. I make notebooks out of recycled boxes and I sell Clauss Scissors, they are a very sharp industrial scissors great for crafting.

So a few days ago I made my family FROGS for breakfast. They are so yummy, basically it is fried bread that you serve with butter and syrup. My Mom used to make them for us when we were younger, they were a sleep over tradition. I am officially gaining weight this week because I made them again this morning, I couldn't help it.
* I have gotten a lot of questions about them so here goes another recipe from my secret stash.
2 cups Flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. Salt
3/4 cups milk

Pour a bottle of vegetable oil into Deep Fryer and turn it on high. Mix ingredients together, and knead the dough slightly. Roll out just under 1/4 inch think on a floured service. Cut the dough into 2 inch squares or desired shape (my Mom used to use cookie cutters) Make sure oil is hot and drop a few in. Once they have been in for a little bit turn them over with tongs. Both sides should be Golden Brown and the dough should expand a little just like the throat of a FROG (hints the name) Enjoy with a little butter and syrup.

It is here

2009-12-31T15:37:00.000-08:00

Well it has been a year, I guess even with all the ups and downs it has still been a good year. I am thankful to The Lord Jesus for all of our provisions. He has used this year to teach us many lessons and I pray they stick. I am thankful my husband is still working and that we have learned to drastically change our spending. This morning I looked in to my kids eyes and saw God, His fresh look on a fallen world. I decided to have a word to focus on for this year "Balance" I will be trying for more balance, I have a lot of titles to balance. Daughter of The Lord, wife (there are many titles that go with WIFE), mother, daughter, sister, friend, teacher, Dr., artist, business owner www.teridaughterofthekin.etsy.com nanny, Girl Scout Leader, volunteer, designer, blogger, maid, chef, and more I am sure I have not listed.
Balance may you achieve more balance with your life.

As always I am lovin The Lord
Have a blessed New Year

Another Recipe you won't want to miss

2009-12-01T07:01:00.000-08:00

In the spirit of Turkey day here is my favorite left over Turkey meal ever.
-I feel like Becky Higgins, maybe her creativity will rub off on me.

Turkey Squares

2 Cups diced Turkey
3 oz. Cream Cheese
1 teaspoon Chives
2 T Margarin
2 T Milk
A pinch of salt and pepper
A package of crescent rolls

Mix all ingredients except Turkey together until smooth, add turkey and mix. Open crescent rolls leaving two of the triangle together. Lay on flat surface and smooth the center line together making two into one square. Scoop ½ cup mixture into middle, fold sides up overlapping each other just enough to pinch and seal the top and sides. Creating a pocket that is sealed. Place on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minute until golden brown.

I always double the recipe that way you get to use the whole package of cream cheese. We server these with the traditional sides or all alone, because you usually can’t eat just one. I eat them plain but my brother and Mom eat them with gravy on top. Hope you enjoy.

The Famous Chicken Tortilla Soup

2009-08-21T11:27:00.000-07:00

Even if you don't like chicken tortilla soup from any restaurant I know you will like this one. This is the only CTS I have ever found to actually like. My friends have been asking me for the recipe lately so I thought I would share it here. It is so easy I made it recently on a girls week-end get away. It make a lot but you can half it or freeze the portion not eaten for another time which is what I often do with my husband and I. Even though my son doesn't like it my niece does so even if you have children you will be able to serve this. I hope you enjoy!

The Best Chicken Tortilla Soup Ever!!

2 cans of Tomato soup
2 cans of Chicken Broth
2 cans of Beef Broth
2 cans of Pinto Beans
2 cans of Kidney Beans
2 cans of Rotelle tomatoes (original)
-It is a brand name it has chili's in it but it is mild as long as you get the original
1 can diced mild green chili's
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
3 or 4 chicken breast cut into cubes

toppings suggested, to taste
-tortilla chips
-avocado
-sour cream
-shredded cheese

Put all the ingredients in the same pot and bring to a boil, turn heat down slightly and cook for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Soup is finished when the chicken floats.
-You can use already cooked chicken but I think it hold the flavor better if you cook it in the soup, reduce the time if you use already cooked chicken.

On a different note my cousins family has set up a web-site for her son who was just diagnosed with Leukemia and you can check it out if you want. www.rally4ridgway.com Thanks for all your prayers they are coveted!!

I finished Junes Circle Journal

2009-07-18T10:44:00.001-07:00

I am so excited I just finished June Circle Journal pages for my friend Jorgie. Elena from Scrapbook Royalty and 11 other really talented ladies are doing a scrapbook of each others last year in a circle journal fashion. Well I was so excited about the idea and concept when they first announced it that I asked a group of my close friends if they would want to do the same thing. We started in February sending out pictures from January or whenever they chose and we are scrapping each others pictures. One person each month you send your pictures to and one person each month you get pictures from. It has been a blast. I have challenged myself to think outside the box and learn new techniques for this project. I hope and pray that some of them are not to far out there for the person receiving them. I am excited to see the finished project next January.

Here are the pages I created for Jorgie with her pictures of her sweet boy Adin.

2009-07-02T22:18:00.000-07:00

Every year Arcadia fire department has a pancake breakfast to help raise money for local charities. My sister is an amazing party planner and is in charge of organizing it. Our kids always have such an amazing time there, here are a few pictures of my children from this years event.
This year they raised over $8,000 even with the swine flu threat and threat of rain, every year it gets a little bigger.

2009-07-02T22:00:00.000-07:00

My husband and I have been trying to find a church we like up by our new house since before we moved up here. We have been to at least 4 with a preference for 2 of them. It is so hard to not compare the churches up here to Revival Christian Fellowship our home church for over 4 years. We had a great group we were not only friends with but family and when we left it just has not been the same for us. We had it narrowed down between two churches and just not sure because there are things we liked about both of them. Well around Thanksgiving The Lord helped me to meet Dawn from Water Of Life one of the churches. She attends a once a month Free scrapbook night help at the church. I have been there twice and love it, we also started attending Water of Life every week and thought it might be our new home church. I am very grateful for the Lords guidance in meeting Dawn and helping me to get connected. Well that is not the church Caleb liked the best. He has been asking us to go back to Hillside for many weeks now. We tried to get there for the last 2 weeks and just could not make it. Well last week-end we finally went back to the one Caleb liked Hillside Christian. We dropped the kids off and heard 2 songs, the pastor came up to pray and then a couple came on stage and did a mini play. They were actors doing a skit as part of the thought provoking opening to the service. Well after the first or second line I knew God had a lot to say to me and that I needed to open my ears. The couple on stage, had just lost their home and were moving out. Humbling and humiliating was how they described it. At that moment I knew we were in the right church. I recieved a lot of peice that day. Thank you Lord for meeting me, holding me and getting us through. You are ever so faithful.
Trust in the Lord

A Snow Blizzard

2009-02-19T07:58:00.000-08:00

O.k so maybe it wasn't a blizzard but it sure was a lot of fun.

We normally go to Big Bear for Presidents Day week-end, my whole family goes Mom and Dad, Sisters, and our families. We go up Friday and stay until Monday. Usually very minimal T.V we do art with the kids, make some sort of food, last year it was chocolate lollipops and homemade pizza. We love to play in the snow, ski, sled and have snow ball fights when ever possible. Well this year we were not able to go so we had a day or two at my sisters instead. We had a ton of fun, and it even snowed!! O.k so the UPS man brought a box for my sister just in God's perfect timing and the kids played in the packing peanuts for over an hour it was so much fun. We even made our own bagels this year, and played in the rain.

I pray all is well in your piece of the world and that you too can find Gods gifts (Great or small) in the every day things.
This week-end for me it was time with family and a box of packing peanuts. Who new one little box could bring so much joy. Well I guess God did. Thank you Lord for time with family, so much fun and a little time were no one had to think about what if's or tommorrow. We could just play and enjoy the day.

Just Rambling

2009-01-16T08:41:00.000-08:00

I'm not a writer so it may not be fluent but just wanted to get down whats happening in my neck of the world.

Check out one of the stores I teach at.
www.chinoscrapbookcompany.com
www.thescrappintable.com

I get to scrapbook tonight, for myself, Yeah!!
My amazing friends in Menifee and my family gave me a
whole album full of pre-done pages for my daughters baby shower
almost six months ago. They are beautiful and well EMPTY!
I finally made myself sit down and go through pictures and order
them from Costco. So tonight on my night away from the kids I plan on
filling my pre done pages with pictures of my sweet girls life.

Tomorrow I teach my first class, I am excited and nervous and wish
I had more students. I only got three sign ups total for three classes, so a
lot of driving but not a lot of income.
Oh, well, we should have a
good time anyways.

There is a big craft convention coming up and one of the store
I teach at and help make kits for invited me to go.
I have been in the past because of the store I managed
and can't wait. I love seeing all the new product
and believe it or not it helps me to not spend
as much in the long run. I see it before I get
to buy it so by the time it hits the stores it feels
like old product already. I plan on having fun and meeting new people. All the Fiskateers are meeting for a pic and I can't wait to see them. A Fiskateer is someone who loves Fiskars product, there is a web-site that we all get to chat, exchange ideas, give our feed back and opinions to fiskars, etc. Pretty much addicts with an outlet. if you love Fiskars check it out www.fiskateers.com

With all that has gone (wrong) in our eyes your Holy plan is perfect. I know that there have been many days I have called out for you in pain and I thank you for meeting me where I am and carrying me through the hard time. You are my rock and my salvation. Lord I thank you for an amazing family and getting to spend time with them. My parents always go the extra mile not only to make things special and memorable for us but for our children as well. I know I will never be able to thank them enough.

God is good ALWAYS!

Thank you Lord, AMEN

Finally it is cold enough for the leaves to fall out here my son has been wanting to rake and play in them since summer. He had so much fun at my parents on Christmas eve.

Christmas traditions, we have so many apple carmel rolls, butterhorns, cookies, the play on the Sunday before Christmas and potluck after, one gift Christmas eve (Pajamas), 7 am wake up call, (it used to be we could not wake Mom and Dad up before then, now it is just a wake up at 7 am)

My daughters first Christmas how wonderful, 4 years ago I got my sweet boy the month before Christmas, this year I got my daughter in July how grateful I am to see there joy on Christmas morning. The smiles and laughter are so worth the hustle and bustle. Santa brought Caleb a fire fighter helmet and ball blasting hose and he brought Emma a beautiful plush doll. I received a really cool clock from one sister and last month I got to go to a New Kids On The Block concert with my other sister (yes really NKOTB, we had a blast), my hubby made me an amazing video of our children and all the pictures from the last year, I cried when I watched it. Thanks to all who shared in this holiday with me.

I will be posting projects and gifts I made over the next few days as well as revealing my class and class date so if you haven't signed up to receive my posts take a minute to do so please. On the left hand side of the screen there is a follow this blog spot click on it and follow the directions. Until next time I pray your Christmas was filled with joy and love, God Bless!

Time for creativity finally

2008-12-16T20:05:00.000-08:00

This is always a busy season but this year we decided to make all our gifts instead of buying them for our family. So my last week or two has consisted of crafting, crafting and more crafting. My sister Holly came over and we worked on stuff Friday night until we couldn't keep our eyes open any more and most of Saturday with a little of my sweet babies thrown in to keep the creative juices flowing. I had not gotten to do anything creative since The Loft closed in July and it feels so good to get to play again.

I even designed two classes for an LSS , here is a little teaser, I will give more details as soon as all the details are finalized. Prayerfully I will get to teach once or twice a month to help bring in a little extra cash.

This is the present I made for my niece, simple but cute and the girl has a
gazillion (is that a word) pencils she can put in it.

Ok my first scrap post and it's not even a scrapbook page. I have been working on Christmas gifts lately. Here are the first two. The blue frame is for my grandparents, we have them over for Christmas every year. Being with my family is one of the things that makes me most happy. I used a plane MDF type frame from Prima and covered it with paper. then just sstarted adding some pretties to it. We just took family pics which haven't been printed yet so when they are I will add that.
The Christmas frame is for a raffle at a dinner we are going to this Saturday. My husband and I were gifted tickets so I decided to help raise a little money for our church group. They do a raffle every year, I hope it will be a nice little bonus. I am also in the process of making some wood signs, home decor style for the raffle also I will post those when they are finished and I have a little time.

I don't know how to arrange pics yet so I guess this will have to do.

Have a great week in The Lord!
Teri

Family Days

2008-11-28T21:37:00.001-08:00

Well my first post.

I want to start sharing my life. I will post when I can and learn as I go. I want to teach scrapbooking and learn new techniques without going broke in the process.

We had such a wonderful low key Thanksgiving. My Mom cooked, it was amazing as usual. I went to Poway Monday and we are going home Saturday the 29th. We were supposed to go home today but my son gave me the pouty lip and about 10 kisses when he asked if we could stay one more day, he is so cute when he does that. My Mom celebrated her 29th birthday, not sure how that works since I am almost 31 but you know. Caleb turned four the very next day and we had presents and cupcakes a little each day this week.

Today was shopping day and I didn't even spend that much I finished for Caleb but still haven't started Emma. What do you get an 8 month old who has it all????

I pray everyone had a marvelous Thanksgiving.

Enjoy the season, remember it all started in a manger.

Thank you Jesus!
