Quick, easy, homestyle meal
Just had a great hearty dinner. I don't normally share recipes, but this was quick and easy to prepare- and will really fill up your belly!
I know how busy Moms are today, and its hard to make a hearty, home style dinner without a lot of fuss. All you really need is pork chops, green bean casserole fixings , and boxed stuffing. I first added two cans mushroom soup, spices, and a small amount if finely sliced onions, then added two cans of green beans to the mushroom mixture- making it all straight in the pan. Then top it with pork chops and made sure to sink them in the mixture just a bit. Then I mixed up some easy boxed stuffing in separate bowl, preferably a metal bowl. In a preheated oven at 400 degrees, I placed the pork chop/ green bean casserole in oven. Keep the bowl of stuffing on top of oven (it will begin to fluff with heat). Watch the pork chops and flip if necessary to cook thoroughly. Just before removing, scoop stuffing mixture on top of pork chops and cook till stuffing had desirable crisp just on top. Walla! One super filling meal- all in one. Two dish cleanup.

Have you bought your 2012 Wall Calendar yet?
I hope not! Yes, I'm a little behind for the extraordinary organized people, but I was caught of guard when I introduced my calendars. Sales have brought me to only 2 left in stock! I have yet to even list them as avail on Etsy.
I'm re-ordering, but in meantime, I have two left that I'm offering for sale directly till my new stock comes in.
The calendars feature coastal photography from my collection, some images never yet released. Each month offers a small quote of inspiration at the bottom of the print. I know you'll love them!
I have had nothing but positive feedback. So, all my dear original followers get first grabs on the two left! Special price of $15, and I'll ship it out for free. I'll even throw in a small set of handmade gift tags, just because I love you all.
So the real question is, who's in?

Blessed!
Wow! So far the New Year had been full of fabulous blessings, I hope yours is the same.
I was the lucky recipient of two Klins. One full size older model, a Duncan, and a small sized, Quick Fire, that's practically new. I am so excited to have this opportunity to try something new. I need to have an Outlet installed for the larger one, but want to get started on the small one asap. I am looking for advice on the best potters Clay for molding, and small sculpture pieces. I also want to play with some fused glass, and would appreciate a quick 101 course for light weights like me.
A generous older woman gave both Klins to me. I meet her at an at show over the Holidays, and our talks lead up to the kind donations. What an awesome gift.
I also want top invite everyone to tune in to my Facebook page each day for the continuation of my New Years RESOLUTION. I had so many good ideas, but really couldn't pin point the spirit of what I really wanted to tackle in the New Year. So instead of making a task or goal I felt would wash away like writing in the sand, I decided to take a brief moment every day to display something I am thankful for. The results so early in the game have been such a positive experience, that I wanted to invite you to check in on Facebook and read my daily thoughts. I didn't anticipate the overwhelming amount of positive and joyful attitude and state of mind it's brought me. So far my mind is filled throughout the day of a state of gratitude. How wonderful it feels.
