Over the Rainbow Blog Hop

Welcome to the Over the Rainbow blog hop! One of the things scrappers love most is COLOR! During this journey you'll encounter all seven colors of the rainbow and some of our favorite things about those colors. In order to play along all you need to do is leave a comment on each blog saying what you love about the color featured on each blog. You can even just tell us your favorite thing (scrappy or not) that is that color! Once you reach the Pot of Gold, post ROY G. BIV!! and you're done and ready to start cropping with us!

Hi! thanks for visiting my blog! I am featuring the color INDIGO.  I live in a house full of guys, so Indigo is definitely a color of scrappiness in my world!  I mean, blue jeans are Indigo in color, and I love me some blue jeans!  I am also a big fan of blueberries and thunderstorm skies. 

**Make sure to leave a comment for a chance to win some fun scrappy supplies.  Photo to come later!

If you started with Jenny's blog with the color RED then you are almost done with your rainbow.  Your next stop is the color VIOLET at Krissy's blog.  Your Pot of Gold directions will be given once you check in there!!  Thanks for playing!

Be sure to join us at Have Your Way With Paper for our "Lucky You" Crop next weekend - fun and prizes for all!

Layout to Share

Just thought I would share a recently completed layout.

This is Gabe after riding the Tower of Terror at MGM in Disney World.

He was very hesitant to ride it, but once he did, he was so proud!

grr...

Yes, I am growling...  :)

I woke up with a bit of a scratchy throat, and now it hurts!

I don't want to be sick!!

I just took some meds, and I hope I can kick it before it gets worse.

Moms just don't have time to be sick.

Boo!!

Matters of the Heart

Happy Valentine's Day!!

I hope you are enjoying those that you love the most!

I especially had a day dedicated to the heart...I had a checkup appt. with my cardiologist today.

He doesn't need to see me again for a whole year!!!

Normally, I am on 6 month checkups, but he thinks I am doing so good that he has put me on the yearly schedule.  My heart is extra happy (and healthy) today!

*****

In honor of Valentine's Day, I am going to share a layout with me and my sweetie on it!

Trisha from Sketch Inspiration was so gracious, and asked me to complete a layout to showcase using one of her amazing sketches!

Wow, that girl has talent!

Sketch Inspiration posts new sketches every Sunday, and if you play along, you could win the prize of the week!

You must check it out!

My BBQ Pork Recipe

I wish I had a photo to share of this recipe...it is so good and so very easy.
I make the BBQ Sauce recipe below, pour it over a pork loin roast in the crockpot, and cook it for 6-8 hours. 
We eat it as sandwiches, or you could put in in some tortillas with veggies.  You can adjust the BBQ sauce recipe depending on how big of a roast you use.  Let me know if you give it a try!

Barbecue sauce:


1 cup catsup
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 cup water
1 sm. onion (1/2 cup)
3 teaspoons of brown sugar
3 teaspoons of worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Menu Plan Monday

There's "supposedly" a big winter storm heading our way in good ole' Indiana.

I say "supposedly" because our weathermen have been wrong before.

We prepare for 10inches and get a dusting if anything at all.

But, I guess I will head out to the store tomorrow to be stocked for the Blizzard '11.

What is it about a snowstorm that makes people crave eggs, bread and milk?

Monday-Marinated Baked Chicken, baked potatoes, sauteed green beans, rolls

Tuesday-Crockpot BBQ pulled pork, parsley potatoes, spinach salad

Wednesday-Cheddar Chowder, grilled cheese sandwiches

Thursday-Pork Cube Steaks, baked fries, peas, salad

Friday-Birthday dinner with friends (there are 4 celebrating bdays)

Saturday-Hot Dog night for the boys-I will be scrapping with friends

Sunday-Dinner at my mom's
