I've been tagged!


Oh my goodness, I've been tagged by Liz of Lizard Dau Designs. I was totally surprised when I went to the 6th folder in my picture stash on the computer and then had to select the 6th picture in there! I really thought I'd find some cutesy picture, but no ~~ what did I find???!!! The 16-button rascally critter that crawled out of my driveway and frightened the mail lady to bits, that's what. And thank goodness for neighbors who pass by just at the right time in this neck of the woods. Did you know that rattlesnakes still move even after they-ve met their demise? Good thing for zoom lenses on cameras!

Next time I think I'll cheat and put in one of my backed up photo DVDs, lol. Wishing you a wonderful day and an even better tomorrow. Hugs from me...

Now I have to choose 6 bloggers to tag. Let's see what these bloggers find on their mission:

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon butter, softened

1 tablespoon light corn syrup

1/2 teaspoon mint extract

1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 drop blue food coloring

1 drop yellow food coloring

1 drop red food coloring

Colored sprinkles and cake decorating candies

Directions:
In a small bowl, combine the butter, corn syrup, extract and salt. Gradually stir in confectioners' sugar. Knead by hand for 1-2 minutes or until mixture becomes pliable. To 1 tablespoon of dough, add blue food coloring; knead until blended. Add yellow food coloring to another tablespoon of dough and knead. Add red food coloring to another tablespoon of dough and knead. Leave remaining dough white. Roll white dough into a log; remove one-fourth of the log and set aside. For the snowmen's bodies, divide the remaining log into 8 pieces and roll into balls. For the snowmen's heads, divide the reserved dough into 8 pieces and roll into balls. Stack 1 smaller ball on top of each larger ball. Use the colored dough to form hats, scarves and earmuffs as desired. Use colored sprinkles and candies to make eyes, nose and buttons. Yield: 8 snowmen.
