this is one of them....
It is my Nana's recipe for Baked Custard. Did you notice how much of it was gone? Yep, that is how much I, alone, have eaten since last night when I made it. I can't keep my hands off of it. The weather turned cooler and my thoughts went to this dessert; so I pulled out my recipe that was on the back of a card that Nana had sent me. When I pulled it out of my recipe box, I started to well up with tears as I thought about her....I miss her very much.
I had to postpone my celebration of Karrie's birthday because my daughter, Makayla, needed to take a little priority. (Karrie won't even notice because my Dad and step-mom are at her house right now - spending quality Karrie time).
Do you remember this stamp from SU!? It is dated 1995 - it's an antique!
Well, Button Bear was stamped and stamped and stamped this many times...
only to have me do this to him...
Why do you ask? Well, I will tell you why...Makayla wants to have her birthday at Build-A-Bear so why not cut the little guy up so that you have to "build" him back again?
It has taken me 3 days with these invites - I had to cut the holes in the middle of the card because my punch didn't give me enough room to have it evenly spaced in the middle and I don't have the really cool cutter that Karrie and Dana have from Creative Memories (yes, I remember using that baby last stamp fest!!!) But that is OK, because M is soooo worth it! She would come in daily to check on the progress of the cards and today her comment was "Mom, those turned out really good. You did a great job." I love the kudos from my kids when I get them!
On a side note, I picked up these cute stamps at Michael's for $1 each - aren't they cute? I saw pumpkins and I NEEDED them.
That is it for tonight, now that I can mail these babies, I hope to get back to Karrie but I know that I can wait a few more days until my Dad leaves and then she'll need some more attention...LOL
Until then, happy trails!
I would kill for some of Nana's rice pudding right now.... perhaps you could ship some to me? I know Dad & Barb would enjoy it too!!! LOL
M's invites turned out DARLING!! I love them! What a great Mom you are! :)
Love ya! xoxox

Trina, The Button Bear cards are adorable! You know, I too, have the CM circle cutters, and I am more than willing to lend them out to you the next time the need should arise. Just let me know.
Also, do you share your recipes...your Nana's in particular? My DH and I just LOVE custard!! yuuummm

DISMEMBERED BEARS? What kinda sicko would do that to a bear? Even somebody all hopped up on coffee and baked custard isn't going to chop up a bunch of cute little teddy bears and mail them out to children!! ....oh...its because it's a build a bear party...never mind.

Where have you been? Hope all is going well with you! I'm starting to stamp again and looking forward to this weekend when Karrie and I get together.
