Lost Mojo...Please Contact....

As you can see, I lost my Mojo...Or it wandered off due to neglect.
You see...I got very busy with work and grandkids...other gotta get dones...AKA "Life in General"...I was still stamping occasionally, but not posting...Then some really crappy crap happened...that I believe was the final straw for my Mojo...It just left...no forwarding address...Recently though Mojo popped up in the form of organization...My Crap Room was overflowing with all of the CRAP that no one wanted to deal with or put in a proper place...It was time to get a handle...so I started to box up everything...go through it...and dang if I didn't find hints of Mojo in those boxes as I unpacked them...Long story short...Mojo is being coaxed back...If I can finish my organizing and make a nice pretty place..I believe Mojo will come home to stay...Wish us luck...

Music in the Forest Swap

Yep another Forest Swap...the subject was music...i am in no way musically inclined...other than i like to listen and i like to dance...but creating or singing...uh yeah make the angels weep...

there were a few categories to choose from...cards...recipe cards...card candy...and you know me...i went with a recipe card...the recipe i chose has nothing to do with music...other than these cookie bars make your tastebuds SING!!!

When i was a teenager one of the youth leaders in our church made these (i think she believed if our mouths were full she'd get a word in)...they disappeared fast!...hello?...sweets and teenage girls?...

and of course the cards are my usual plain jane style...but they turned out "sweet"
