More Christmas Cards!

Chicken Enchilada Dip

Everyone LOVED the Chicken Enchilada Dip on Friday night....and ask that I share the recipe.....SO here it is:

Chicken Enchalida Dip
1 large canned chicken breast
1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
4 oz Cream Cheese
Handfull Shredded Cheese
4-6 oz Green Salsa

Put everything in a little dip crockpot and heat. Serve with Tortilla Chips. It's always a HUGE hit at parties!

If you put 6 oz of the Green Salsa in here - it's a little spicey! Just the way I like it!

Christmas Card Ideas

Just wanted to share some Christmas card ideas from my stash with you! Thanks for looking!

Thanksgiving Table Decor

Would these be the BOMB at your Thanksgiving feast???? One of my demonstrators - Lisa - made these for the Fox River Mall Expo. She stamped up Pumpkin Pie cardstock with the Baroque Motifs stamp, cut them into 1 1/2" x 11" strips (for the big pumpkin), stamped the leaf from the With Gratitude stamp set and WAAA LAAA!!!! You could use the smaller pumpkins for individual place settings! Way to go LISA!

Cardinal Swap Card

I made these for a swap a while back and I forgot to share them with you!!!

This is the Christmas Cardinal in the Holiday Mini Catalog. I absoluely LOVE this wide ribbon....but wasn't sure what I was going to do with it until I came up with this card....kind of unique....

I had a FABULOUS time up north last weekend. I did a double header!!! LOL Stamp-A-Stack and hunting!!! Does life get any better???

Here's some pictures from the stamping event......

And here's some pictures from the hunting adventure......
My darling daughter.....it was the Youth Hunt this weekend...so kids could use a gun.

The woods are just gorgeous right now!

It was also VERY warm...so I had a little cooling down session when I got up in my tree stand....or should I say, my hubby's tree stand. 18 ft off the ground was pretty sweet! He might have to find himself a NEW stand!!! LOL

YES - those are my tooties....cooling off. We walked a mile back in the woods.....there were 7 of us out that night and not a single one of us saw a darn thing! Could have sat really close to the road with the same results!!! The animal lovers can sleep soundly for another weekend - LOL!
