Occasionally I cook, more like bake... I'm always looking for a great recipe to try and repeat. Many of the recipes documented here come from my need to use up our garden goodies. All of the recipes are tried. I recently gathered up recipes cards from my late Grandma Brooks. The Recipe Project started with my desire to type up and test many recipes from the kitchen of my Grandma, Anita June Loe Brooks. When I make them, I'll tag each of Grandma's recipes and hopefully provide reviews, tips and sometimes photos for each dish. I hope you enjoy.

Some of the recipes from my old blog have not converted properly. Search 'recipe' and you'll find a more complete list.

Use your STASH - Bring on the Bling! This is the perfect challenge for this card. I have so many rhinestones and sparkly dots that it made perfect sense to use as many as possible to decorate this tree. My card is inspired by a recent wreath project
Use your STASH - Bring on the Bling! This is the perfect challenge for this card. I have so many rhinestones and sparkly dots that it made perfect sense to use as many as possible to decorate this tree. My card is inspired by a recent wreath project @paulinespapier created using embellishments. 'Use Your Stash' is a monthly instagram hop where my friends and I get crafty and use what we have on hand. The bling is from decades of crafting ... the stamp set is called 'Twinkle Trees'. Stampin' Up! products you can still purchase: Basic White cardstock Garden Green Ink Textured Notes dies Shimmer Star foam stickers I can't wait to see what BLING my friends have kept around and used for this challenge.
