I love to make my own Pita bread and posted my recipe about 3 years ago. Pattie's Pita Bread
Tonight,m I am trying, for the first time, to make gyro meat from lamb, using a recipe I found on food network. I hope it turns out as yummy as the gyros we get at the Greek restaurants! Gyro Meat Recipe
For the first time in many months, we have a FREE Thursday. Meaning: I can stay home and cook! No baseball, no football, no piano, and nothing much to do at all. We had a great visit at the GI yesterday. After 15 years of seeing the GI every 3-6 months, Sean graduates to once a year! Joseph still has to go more frequently, but progress is progress!
Sunday is the big Stamp Out Mito event. I'm very excited. Once I get my lamb in the oven, I am going to post pictures of the cards and scrapbook pages we will be making. I even created a Mito Awareness card!

Dancing Bat Boy
Matthew is a bat boy at the Winston-Salem Dash, I have mentioned that before. What I may not have mentioned is that he is also known as the Dancing Bat Boy. We are the proud parents of this spectacular bat boy. Of course, I claim absolutely none of the credit for his dance moves. I give all credit to his father, Chris.
When Matthew was a toddler, I would come home to the two of them marching around the living room to John Sousa marches or dancing to opera. Of course, the Disney classics, too. So, all of Matthew's dancing prowess comes from his father. No doubt.
To see pictures of this famous dancing bat boy, go to this link. Dancing Bat Boy is pictured in the first 7 photos. Prepare to be amazed.
We love you, Matthew!

Recipe Book
I'm considering doing a tutorial video on how to make this book. It is quite simple to do with the proper punch for the edge. I think I like how it turned out! Two of the bees are popped up and they all have sparkly wings. I added Smooch pearlized top coat to all of their wings!
Card Fun! Recipe Plans!
I came up with this design for Mother's Day. One Mother's Day Card, I made a pop-up bouquet for Twosday's Techniques and the other design is below. I made several with the original Mother's Day design, this one is a birthday card. I used Pretty in Pink, Soft Suede, Early Espresso and Whisper White. I love Tri-fold cards. The embossing on the front makes it pop. I'd love to hear what others are working on. I am currently working on a recipe book. For 18 years, I stuffed recipes into a gallon size Ziploc bag.... I have finally started compiling them into a pretty notebook (made and designed by ME!). Once I am done, I'll share photos!
It is another wonderfully cool day here in North Carolina. It got down into the 40s last night and is supposed to stay that way for a few more days. Baseball season has only a few more weeks left, then we get a short break before contact football begins. I'm hoping to get the boys finished with school by the beginning of July (I have hopes to get them done by the end of June, but July would be nice!) -- then I would have time for scrapbooking all the memories I haven't had time to scrap! Yeah, like that will happen. Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!
