Breakfast Pocket Stromboli.....thingy

So my friend Paula taught me how to make stromboli.  (Thanks, by the way Paula, they are amazing)  So I took the general idea of a stromboli, and decided to make breakfast ones for Rick.


I scrambled eggs, cooked some ham, sauted onions, green peppers and red peppers, and made hollandaise sauce.  Next I took a Pillsbury Grands Biscuit, seperated it into two pieces, layered it with scrambled eggs, cheese, ham, veggies, spinach and hollandaise sauce.  Last I put the other piece of biscuit on top, wrapped it underneath the bottom biscuit and pinched them together.


I then put some butter on the top, popped it in a 350 deg oven for 14 minutes, and whalaa. 


A beautiful Breakfast Pocket Stromboli, thingy, lol.  Plus breakfast is made for the week and I don't have to try and cook Rick breakfast and wake up at the same time.

I Forgot to Mention.......

You might be asking yourself the same question I was asking myself..........I've been down here in the craft room for a long time now.........where is Trevor?????????

YOU ARE DOING WHAT????!!!!!

Get that Bunny out of there and I mean NOW!!!













No, wait, wait wait. (Taking a deep breath) Leave him there for a minute, (grumbling - take pictures, grrr. This will be funny......grrr. grumble grumble.) (Deep breaths)

"Look mom, I got him bath toys. :) So he has some toys to play with in his bath :) :)"














"I see the bath toys Trevor, however, you are not supposed to give bunnies baths, especially not baths in cold water. You are going to give the bunny phneumonia."

(I then get a funny look and shoulder shrug)

"Mom Look he likes it."
"I don't think he likes it Trevor. It's time to get him out."

"But moooooom. He does like it, see......, look. I got him toys :) :)"
"The water is freezing cold Trevor, get him out!"

"Mmoooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmuh"

"NOW!!!"

"Okaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyuh"

"And just so we are on the same page, you do not ever EVER give J Bunny a bath again. E V E R again.'

"Unless he's dirty, :) right mom? :)"

sigh. "No Trev, not even then."

"But if he is dirty, he needs a bath."

"Yes, if the bunny gets dirty and needs a bath, then I will give him one, not you, ok?"
":) Okay mom. But I'll help."

Sigh. "Just go hold the bunny so he doesn't freeze to death, please."





Cute wall hanging for my niece.

So this is what we (my sister, Keri, and friend, Paula, spent the day doing. (Keri thought it would just take a couple of hours to get done. Ha ha ha, I laugh at her, she has crafted with me before and yet still has an innocence about crafting with me........)


It started with this
I had Keri cut out tag shapes......seemed simple enough. Then I started thinking about it........"and then we should"......"this would look super cute"........"I think I have here"........"oh, oh, oh, wait, wait I think I".........."it needs bling".........."grab those stamps"......."where's my distress powder"......"where is the distress sponge"....."grab the mat"......"oh wait, wait, let's do this"......."AAAAAAAhh, why would you use that stamp?"......."give me that"........."let's do this, and this"..........."need ink pad"........"where's my Tim Holtz"...... Well I think you get the general idea.

(I laugh at myself and the poor unfortunate soul(s) who craft with me while my mind creates. I speak in short hand and expect them to follow along.)

Well soon enough my scrap room looked like this: (This is after Paula cleaned up and put most of the stamps back in there place. :)

However, they were well worth it. They turned out cute, and I think my niece will love it!!
