A Day of Remembrance

Today my darling sweet hubby and I

celebrate 11 years of marriage

It all started when a mutual friend

passed a note to a some-what shy boy and said

"call this girl and ask her out"

He did and the girl said "yes"

Each day still feels like our first date

I still get butterflies in my stomach when he walks into a room

and feel strength when he holds my hand

He never forgets a birthday or anniversary

is a wonderful father, provider and best friend

He always spoils me with flowers, little notes of love

 and sweet little gifts

for no reason at all

I am truly blessed and honored to be his wife

~ forever ~

Although September 11th is a day of celebration for us

we will always remember how we spent our second anniversary

praying for those less fortunate

we will never forget

we will always pray

we will always remember those that were lost

and we will always feel blessed

Thank you sweet boy for calling ME!

xoxo

Berries and Shortcake, Oh My!

Frozen Berry Angel Shortcake

Ingredients

1 Angel Food Cake

Raspberry Extract

Liquid red food color

2/3 cup strawberry topping

3 cups slightly softened lowfat strawberry ice cream or frozen yogurt

2 cups thawed lite whipped topping

Fresh strawberries or raspberries

Recipe Preparation

1.  Prepare your favorite Angel Food cake recipe with these changes:

Line the bottom of a 9x3 inch springform pan with nonstick foil, then attach the sides of the pan.  Substitute raspberry extract for the vanilla in Step 3 and add 3 drops liquid red food color with the extract.  Spread prepared pan and bake as directed.  Cool the cake completely, in pan, upside down on a wire rack.  To loosen cake, run a thin-bladed knife around side of pan, remove pan sides.  Invert cake and remove pan bottom.

2.  To assemble shortcake: 

Using a serrated knife, cut cake into 2 layers.  Place bottom layer, cut side up, on pan bottom and spread with 1/3 cup strawberry topping.  Spoon 3 cups slightly softened lowfat strawberry icecream or frozen yogurt over topping.  Spread another 1/3 cup strawberry topping over icecream/yogurt.  Top with remaining cake layer, cut side down.  Freeze at least 4 hours or overnight.  (Once the cake is frozen, it can be wrapped and stored in freezer up to 2 weeks).

3.  To serve:

Transfer frozen cake to a serving plate.  Frost with 2 cups thawed lite whipped topping.  Decorate with strawberries or raspberries.  Refrigerate 30 minutes to soften slightly before serving

A Little Pink Whimsy!

My new friend

Miss Whoozit

click on picture to enlarge

Well I don't know what her name is exactly

but for a week that is what I called her

My dear friend Mary commissioned me to quilt this very special quilt she made for a very special someone.

So for a week Miss Whoozit and I played....

quilted leaves

more leaves and flowers

more leaves and branches

more leaves, flowers, branches and vines

and feathers on her sweet little body

but mostly.....a LOT of leaves

(I guess you got that right?)

Oh how I just love this "Eden" line

by Lila Tueller

~ sigh ~

Such an adorable, fun and very whimsical quilt

(my favorite kind)

Thank you Mary for entrusting me with such a sweet treasure!

You did an amazing job creating

such a sweet little feathered friend.

I miss Ms. Whoozit

but I know she will be loved dearly!

Happy quilting ;0)
