Angel Kisses Puzzle FINISHED!

   I finally got my 1000 piece Angel Kisses puzzle finished! Took me two years, but it is done. I have got 3 sealer coats on it(will probably put some more). Now, I have to wait for hubby to make the frame for it. It was some challenge. So, relieved it is together. It took me so long because I spent sooo much time in the hospital in the later part of 2008 and in the healing process now!

Raisin Bran Muffins

These raisin bran muffins have become a must to make each week. They are hubby's favorite and they are very expensive when you buy them at the store now. They were bran. Well, I went online and searched for a receipt and came up with this one. It is fantastic! I vary it a bit depending if we have applesauce or not. Great with or without applesauce. Cooking time varies. Just experiment until you get what you like. I double the batch to make them larger.

Post Raisin Bran Muffins Ingredients
1 1/4 c Flour
1/2 c Applesauce
1 tb Baking powder
1/3 c Brown sugar; packed
1/4 ts Salt
2 tb Margarine; melted, (can use
2 c POST raisin bran cereal
1/3 c Dried apricots; chopped,
1 c Skim milk
Cinnamon sugar; (*optional,
1 Egg; slightly beaten
Instructions for Post Raisin Bran Muffins
Heat oven to 400 (375 if you are making extra large muffins, as I do).
Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
Mix cereal and milk in a separate bowl and let stand 3 minutes.
Add to the cereal and milk, the egg, applesauce, sugar and margarine.
Add to flour mix, with the apricots if you are using them, and stir
until just moistened. Pour into sprayed muffin pan, (sprinkle with
cinnamon-sugar, if desired) and bake 20 minutes until golden. Makes 12.
NOTE, if you like the extra large (Texas-sized ) muffins like I do, bake at 375,
for 20-30 minutes (closer to 30, but check at 20). Makes 6
The tops meet when cooking and I thought I did something wrong but that just happens. Let your mix set for a few minutes before putting into pan.

Little Visitor



"Little Visitor" is a tiny lizard I found wandering around our house earlier in the day. It went up over the fireplace front and mantle onto a window curtain topper. I tried several times to get it outdoors but is went in the opposite direction. Hubby took these pictures.



It was weird when it crawled onto my hand my hand actually had a numb feeling (very scary). It is still in the house wandering somewhere. It is just a baby as I have seen them much larger. We have no idea how they get into the house.

Puzzle Pictures

This one hangs in our bedroom. The scene is by Sandra Kuck. I have her 8 plate set of Hearts and Flowers. They are for sale as well. Trying to get money to pay for my numerous medical bills from my two hospital stays in later part of 2008.

Puzzles that have been put together and sealed make great wall hangings. I have made several, some tiny other huge.
The bear one I made for my oldest daughter that collects bears.



These kitty ones I have for sale.

I am currently working on a large one, but not doing well. It is mostly shade of white and shades of blue. I think it will take me forever to get it put together. It is of a couple of children angels and will be lovely when finished and framed. My dear husband makes the wood frames around each finished puzzle. I will put photos here of the few I have done.
