Here is the link if you would like to check it out. <a href="www.5dinners1hour.blogspot.com">www.5dinners1hour.blogspot.com</a> <div><br /></div><div>Michelle, the owner and creator, posts recipes and such on the blog. In addition, you can order a 3 month subscription to her menu plans. I always have the dinner time ho-hums, and when everyone comes home and wants to know what's for dinner, I usually have a shrug, and "I don't know" look to accompany it. Now, with the help of the menu plan, I have a plan in advance. It provides a shopping list, assembly directions, cooking directions, etc with it. The idea is to make EVERYTHING up in advance, store in refrigerator, freezer, and Zip-Loc bags. On the day of the meal, pull the baggie out, put in a dish, pop it in the oven, and Voila! Dinner is ready. I've found that I need to alter some of the meats for my 12 y.o. picky eater (because, "aww mom....you know I don't like sauce on my food"), but easy enough to do, I keep his out of the sauce, and put the rest in. Unfortunately for me, I discovered the site, after already doing some grocery shopping, so I'm slowly but surely trying to get rid of my other food items, to make room for the new plan. <div><br /></div><div>The school lunch planning, has also been a terrific time saver on busy school mornings. I make all my lunch sandwiches in advance, complete with baggy, and pop it in a plastic shoe box in the refrigerator. I also ration out the fruit into baggies and chips/snacks as well. What a time saver on busy mornings. Just grab your lunch sack, and place 1 from each shoebox in the bag. Quick and Easy Peasy!!!</div></div>Janethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00149502935658540580noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545866100374496561.post-3155432573376448732010-10-28T15:18:00.003-04:002010-10-28T15:28:22.867-04:00Goodbye Stampin' Up!It's taken me quite awhile to get to the place where I currently am in regard to my SU business. Business...ha! If 1 can call it that. Some, I suppose, really can call it a business, but to me it has ALWAYS been a hobby. A very expensive hobby. At first, I was doing workshops on a regular basis, and even classes in my basement on a monthly basis. A very dear friend of mine has continued to support me over the last 8 years of my 10 year jaunt with the company, and I am thankful for her. She and I have been the only ones supporting it though for about a year now. I've made many good friends over the last 10 years with other demonstrators. Many from the US and a couple from Canada. It is with great sadness though, that I've decided to give it up. I haven't had the stamping mojo in quite some time. I continue to purchase stamps and supplies, yet I haven't used them. Nothing says, I have to quit having classes. I can still do that, AND I can still learn new techniques. The only difference now is that I won't have a discount when I purchase my supplies. Maybe now, with no quarterly minimum hanging over my head, I can get back to stamping...just for the fun of it!Janethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00149502935658540580noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545866100374496561.post-7715593065304076762010-07-21T23:15:00.003-04:002010-07-21T23:18:00.535-04:00Stampin' Up!'s New Catalog<span style="font-size:130%;">The 2010-11 Stampin' Up!

Right now the ice just looked "pretty" on the trees.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqFKUFjfQhyphenhyphenRF57J4wjn62g3PFOHN1kfKgfO-Ke1SzMJHv4ZzqUZ5LRwr7v8d_tycNgkdyr144YR4pJ8mBl6u1gbk6ceViiO8UQac2JBZFFA4D8wMIySPXVvI-YJiKJCMZQWtKQI3F75o/s1600-h/IMG_0553.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqFKUFjfQhyphenhyphenRF57J4wjn62g3PFOHN1kfKgfO-Ke1SzMJHv4ZzqUZ5LRwr7v8d_tycNgkdyr144YR4pJ8mBl6u1gbk6ceViiO8UQac2JBZFFA4D8wMIySPXVvI-YJiKJCMZQWtKQI3F75o/s320/IMG_0553.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299177533826971298" border="0" /></a>Doesn't it look pretty? All the trees and bushes had a beautiful, crystal quality to them. Fragile and glasslike.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBwMrnamKyKD-AFJn6UXfa_tTFKBkpoUgGeMltdcLYb_Dbmv-19Sqefv2HCi9Qv7DmuZXmxBPaQitSCZwHkBlWXJTs-6k-g7qU3Ef57VvVrVy9T77ta1qy_VCEfSS15farClknLxklkoM/s1600-h/Backyard+Fenceline.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBwMrnamKyKD-AFJn6UXfa_tTFKBkpoUgGeMltdcLYb_Dbmv-19Sqefv2HCi9Qv7DmuZXmxBPaQitSCZwHkBlWXJTs-6k-g7qU3Ef57VvVrVy9T77ta1qy_VCEfSS15farClknLxklkoM/s320/Backyard+Fenceline.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299177532528033058" border="0" /></a>This is another view overlooking our neighbor's farm. I loved the way the fence line leads you into the whole picture. Look at the icicles hanging down from the fence! Note the heavy power lines above the back fence.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigd544Xq3t9teT58WERRwhMRn_dvU0oYE6lm4Hone00YcUFAj45o_6mj4VsZFSlVQRnQbl1yvSqDiM_oSge85XbIDeMmeMRRRLgDyc0bJ_7dOAhD8SmxJM_UlqfYtuFh5OGgTiYRzI7_s/s1600-h/100_0123.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigd544Xq3t9teT58WERRwhMRn_dvU0oYE6lm4Hone00YcUFAj45o_6mj4VsZFSlVQRnQbl1yvSqDiM_oSge85XbIDeMmeMRRRLgDyc0bJ_7dOAhD8SmxJM_UlqfYtuFh5OGgTiYRzI7_s/s320/100_0123.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299177527520513122" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />My 16 yo son took this one.

A branch was (and still is) lying over this power line, weighting it down over our driveway. With the ice now gone, it is not hanging this low anymore, but my husband's car managed to squeak under it to go get gas to power the generator.Janethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00149502935658540580noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545866100374496561.post-85282886124467170902009-02-04T23:16:00.003-05:002009-02-04T23:35:27.327-05:00It's Here!Well, I finally received my free copy of the Stampin' Up! 2009 Spring/Summer Catalog. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Unfortunately</span> for me though, it came on the first day of the BIG KY ICE STORM!!!! (The reason I said unfortunately having received the catalog in the ice storm...it arrived in a rather dilapadated state. I like to keep my catalogs in good condition, and it arrived dog earred with a wrinkled cover. Thanks to demo support, they are sending me a new one.)<br /><br />Not sure how the mailman got to the box even, because by the time my mail usually arrives (4:00 pm or so), we already had had 17 hours of freezing rain. I didn't even get to my mailbox until Wednesday, late afternoon. Altogether, we had 34 hours of freezing rain + 2" of snow on top of that. To add insult to injury, we suffered thru 5 days, 6 hours, and 7 minutes of a power outage. a pioneer woman, I could not have been in a previous life. I admit...we weren't completely powerless, as others in our county were, and still are. We had a generator that gave us quick bursts of heat on our space heaters, however, dealing with no electricity for that long is for the birds! You'd think after 5 days, we'd figure it out that when you walk into a room and reach for the light switch, the power still will not go on, no matter how much you wish it will! When our power finally did come on...well, lets just say I've been giving a silent prayer for the things (luxuries like electricity, heat, water, food) that our family does have on a daily basis. It is so easy to forget that we are so very lucky.<br /><br />How did I spend my time? Well, I couldn't stamp, as it was too dark down there in my stamp room. I did some reading, and wished that I had gotten to the library <span style="font-weight: bold;">before</span> the storm hit so I could read a better book than what I had. I took LOTS of photo's and really gave my 10x zoom a work out (Many pictures from the porch, as it was dangerous to walk outside what with tree branches crashing to the ground, ice falling from trees, wires, house, etc). AND...we played lots of board games by flashlight at night.<br /><br />The kids are STILL out of school, and will going to school in June to make up the days.Janethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00149502935658540580noreply@blogger.com0
