make the most of the stamping supplies that you already have? Do you

November ~ Holiday Countdown Checklists
Hereis my list to work on... by the end of November:
Wrap gifts as soon as you get them home. Keep receipts in one place.
Arrange a holiday cookie exchange with friends and neighbors. Then you only have to bake one kind! Bake ahead of time and freeze!
Get holiday photo taken professionally or do it yourself. Or pick out a picture from the year past to give with cards. *** This needs to be done 1st! The last 2 years someone was always sick or crabby to get a family photo done and no cards went out =-(. Sorry family and friends. Nothing personal... just a crazy time of year!!!
Address cards. While you are at it, buy labels and put them over old addresses in your address book (or make sure you always use a pencil). Write a "family" letter? Do a draft now and then finish the details later.
Plan your holiday menus. Write out a shopping list.
Plan a holiday event such as caroling or cookie decorating party. MAYBE

Old Fashion Doughnuts
1/2 cup milk
1/2 sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg beaten
1 TSP melted butter
About 1 3/4 cups flour
Vegetable shortening for frying
Sugar for dusting
Mix the milk, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, salt, egg and butter in a large bowl. Add the flout gradually, using just enough so that the doughh is firm enough to handle yet soft as possible. cover the gough and chill for about an hour. Turn out on a floured bowl and knead for a few minutes. Roll out to 1/2 thick and cut out doughnuts. Place on a floured wax paaper for about 5 min. Fry the doughnuts till golden brown. Drain on paper towel and dust with sugar.
Graham Cracker Yummies
Cover greased cookie sheet w/ graham crackers. Boil for 2 minutes--1 cup of brown sugar & 2 sticks of margarine. Add 1/2 cup chopped nuts (I like walnuts, but pecans would probably be good, too!) and then pour over crackers. Bake in 350 oven for 10 minutes. When cool, break apart graham crackers into squares. Yummy!

Stampin' Up! Trimmer Is Available!
Introducing the new and improved Stampin' Trimmer! Although paper trimmers are a common crafting tool, this trimmer was designed exclusively by paper crafters for paper crafters AND because it was made by Stampin' Up!, you know it's a cut above the rest!
Features of the All-New Stampin' Trimmer
•An extra-wide 6-1/4" cutting base and an extended 14-1/2" ruler
◦The extra-wide cutting base provides a large work area and is marked in 1/4" (4 mm) increments, allowing for small measurements.
◦The right-side grid helps you measure and cut very thin strips.
◦The extended cutting arm has a stabilizing leg to provide a sturdy and steady cutting surface for longer cuts.
◦When fully extended, the extended cutting arm sits flush with the trimmer base, providing more accurate and consistent measurements across the entire surface.
◦The cutting base and track include a full ruler, incorporating measurements down to 1/16" and grid lines that mark each quarter inch.
◦All rulers and measurements on the base are printed under a plastic cover so your measurements won't wear off.
◦The base has nonskid feet, which keeps the Stampin' Trimmer securely in place on your work area.
•A full 12" cutting and scoring track
◦The extra-long cutting track has space at the top and bottom so you don't have to take the cutting and scoring blades out when you're not using them.
◦The track gives you enough space to cut or score a full 12" (30.5 cm) without having to remove or switch out handles.
◦The cutting track locks in place for secure storage or transport.
◦The track includes an insertion point for cutting and scoring blade handles so you can easily insert handles into the cutting track.
•Specially designed handles and cutting track to ensure straight cuts
◦The hook on the scoring and cutting blade handles keeps the handles stable so the cuts are as straight as possible.
◦Handles come in two colors: dark for cutting, light for scoring.
◦The precision tip on the cutting blade allows you to pinpoint precisely where you're cutting.
◦The point on the side of each handle shows you where the blade will cut, making it easy to see exactly where your cuts and scores will begin.
•Storage compartment under base
◦The storage compartment holds scoring and cutting tools such as a Bone Folder, Simply Scored Stylus, extra scoring and cutting blades, and even business cards.
◦Separate compartments within the storage compartment keep your tools organized, and the clear cover makes it easy to see what you've stored.

Slow Cooker Chicken
Here is a very easy and very delicious crockpot or dutch oven recipe (we cook it in the dutch oven when we are camping and in the crockpot when we are home).
4-6 chicken breasts 1 large onion, sliced
2 cups ketchup 2 cups barbeque sauce
Layer chicken and onion in crockpot or dutch oven. Pour ketchup and barbeque sauce over chicken and onion. Cook 7 or 8 hours on low in crockpot.
Sides: We love to eat it with potatoes or rice, a vegie, and a tossed salad.
Left overs: Dice the left over chicken and onions. Freeze with sauce. Use it on pizza with cheese for a quick meal (buy a premade pizza crust for an even quicker meal).
Not sure where this recipe came from but it is a good one.
