so there i was ...

and Ode' to the best turkey I ever made ...

I can cook just about anything except a turkey. It’s gotten so bad that I decided to avoid the holiday entirely for the past few years by either buying a precooked turkey or going out to dinner. I have tried brining, fancy rubs, special pans. It never fails they either were under cooked or tried out turkey jerky. I was starting to think maybe it wasn’t my cooking abilities but that I just didn’t like turkey. This year we decided to stay in and I gave this turkey thing another try. Low and behold I cooked the perfect turkey.

 

I think I will do a layout about this lovely beauty and include the recipe. In honor of the holiday here is a card I did recently for Jillibean Soup.

 

Supplies Used: Jillibean Soup Patterned Paper, Ribbon, Journaling Sprout, Button, Twine, kraft card and stamp. Other supplies include Bazzill cardstock, Punches from Stampin' Up and Fiskars.

Have a great day

Happy post Turkey Day and Black Friday! I hope you have been having a great holiday. I have been having a great few days full of family, food and of course a little shopping. I have some wonderful news to share with you (insert drum roll) I was invited to be on the 2010 Scrapbook & Cards Today design team. I am honored to be named with such a talented group of scrapbookers. If you haven’t picked up this quarterly magazine out of Canada you are missing out, it’s truly a gem of a publication. Scrapbook & Cards Today is available here in the US at over 25 retail locations. I am lucky enough to be able to give away a year subscription to SCT away.
