Sweet Potato Casserole

I was not always fond of sweet potatoes until I tried them one Thanksgiving a few years ago. My grandma makes a yummo sweet potato casserole...similar to this one. Try it for yourself and let me know what you think!

Ingredients:

casserole...
3 cups sweet potatoes
1 stick butter
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla

topping...
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup flour
1 stick butter
1 cup brown sugar

Directions:
Peel & cook sweet potatoes until tender. {If you prefer to use canned that is ok.} Drain potatoes and mash, add butter. Beat eggs with milk and add to potatoes. Next, stir in sugar and vanilla. Pour into 9x13 baking dish.

Combine topping ingredients together and sprinkle on top of potatoes. Bake at 350 for 30 to 40 minutes.

It's National Craft Month!!!

March is National Craft Month! There could not BE a better time to get those creative juices flowing and do something crafty!!! I am going to try and create to my heart's content this month! {I have a lot of ideas swimming around in my head!} I am sooooooooo excited to be kicking off the month by attending an overnight crop...yay!!!

Apparently clouds are all the rage, so I thought I'd try to incorporate them into a project. I started out with some SU kraft for the card base {love me some kraft!!!} and some ledger type paper from We R Memory Keepers. I cut clouds from a piece of American Crafts Everyday Howdy paper. Then I stamped a Michael's $1 butterfly on the cloud and paper pieced the wings. Some grosgrain ribbon and sentiment finish off this {airy} card.
