Me, the blogger! I have been super bad and I haven't posted anything in almost a year. How sad is that? My life has changed in so many ways over the last year and I can't wait to share all of the exciting new things with you. <br />
<br />
I do hope that you will stick around with me as I get this blog going again!<br />

She's been searching for something to hang on the hospital door other than a wreath. She sent me a picture of canvas wall banner and I was inspired!<br />
<br />
Now, Ive never been a really great painter but I knew I had to try for my little sister and my niece that is on the way. My sister has no idea that I've painted this for her and I think that she'll be very surprised when I give it to her. <br />
<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table> <br />
The first thing you need is a roll of canvas and your painting supplies. My canvas came from Michael's. Cut to your desire length and tape off your border.<br />
<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s666.photobucket.com/albums/vv25/snbe111800/?action=view&current=100_0296.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="256" src="http://i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv25/snbe111800/100_0296.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Tape your borders</td></tr>
</tbody></table><br />
<br />
After I tape off my edges, I painted the background a pink color and sketched out my baby face!<br />
<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s666.photobucket.com/albums/vv25/snbe111800/?action=view&current=100_0298.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="300" src="http://i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv25/snbe111800/100_0298.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Face is drawn</td></tr>
</tbody></table> <br />
I gave the little hair bow a few accent colors to make it stand out.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s666.photobucket.com/albums/vv25/snbe111800/?action=view&current=100_0301.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="299" src="http://i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv25/snbe111800/100_0301.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Upside down...but you can see it taking shape!</td></tr>
</tbody></table> <br />
Then I went to work painting the features of the face.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Little red lips!</td></tr>
</tbody></table> <br />
I finally gave her some eyes!<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s666.photobucket.com/albums/vv25/snbe111800/?action=view&current=100_0311.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="299" src="http://i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv25/snbe111800/100_0311.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A little black curl and big eyes!</td></tr>
</tbody></table> <br />
And a yellow and purple shirt!<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s666.photobucket.com/albums/vv25/snbe111800/?action=view&current=100_0308.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="300" src="http://i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv25/snbe111800/100_0308.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I stared at it for a while hoping she didn't look like an Easter Egg!</td></tr>
</tbody></table> <br />
Then added my niece's name (Which the daddy picked out!)<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Kimora...</td></tr>
</tbody></table> <br />
Painted the border black with white polka dots...and Ta-Da!!! <br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

As much as I would love for that to be the case, it just isn't happening! I've thought long and hard about what I wanted to say in this post and nothing has come to mind.<br />
<br />
I should start at the beginning - two years ago, my then husband left me for another woman. We had been married for eight years at the time. A year and a divorce later I thought my life was over until I met Mark. He was sweet, charming and absolutely hilarious. He was the polar opposite of my ex-husband and I couldn't have been happier.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHWnkDWtx051N56ZzpuPFeRMsO2-LXqz988-dzhYAzIbA3N5BpOV7HUftBbmeKsWnxQgwYdM8aMJgXO71Jnbwa-tJA8YpRaDha0F0LHuBkx3YbVhBgHd94-7YAuRqCFCQGNT21PvXGcLB4/s1600/pic3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHWnkDWtx051N56ZzpuPFeRMsO2-LXqz988-dzhYAzIbA3N5BpOV7HUftBbmeKsWnxQgwYdM8aMJgXO71Jnbwa-tJA8YpRaDha0F0LHuBkx3YbVhBgHd94-7YAuRqCFCQGNT21PvXGcLB4/s320/pic3.jpg" width="208" /></a></div><br />
I finally felt like I was able to be myself. He encouraged me to be creative in every way possible. If I wanted to paint he helped me pick out paints... If I felt like scrapbooking he took me to every store in town. The man cooked and cleaned without being asked to. His heart was made of pure gold.<br />
<br />
But on Thursday, January 6, 2011 the lord had other plans for this angel and he passed away at the young age of thirty-three. While my heart is breaking I just keeping praying. I know that I will never have all the answers to my questions but I take comfort in knowing that Mark is in a better place and watching over me as I start a new journey in my life.<br />

I'm a bad blogger! Ive been absent from my little blog for a while now. I'm not sure if I should blame it on everything that's been going on; Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years...or just a general lack of time to write. <br />

Then there are days when I think I can blame it on the fact that my creativity has taken a nose dive and I haven't felt very "crafty" for the past two months. Either way, I've been a bad blogger and I hope to make it up to you in this New Year! <br />

<br />
<div align="center">Yours truly - circa 1983 or 1984! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs5LHpVjVa32N8N4VMEmyf1UhQNQzjv2yS1G8B3GJR64C-4do9j58IyKACfGj_01oywAl3eaiDuNOWQM_3QdUm-QRtoYvib93ooee0rSLqUWsyUf3CJuARWq6Wdy-yBKNpNeqxbISB7YQX/s1600/oldchristmas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs5LHpVjVa32N8N4VMEmyf1UhQNQzjv2yS1G8B3GJR64C-4do9j58IyKACfGj_01oywAl3eaiDuNOWQM_3QdUm-QRtoYvib93ooee0rSLqUWsyUf3CJuARWq6Wdy-yBKNpNeqxbISB7YQX/s400/oldchristmas.jpg" width="226" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Santa looks thrilled doesn't he?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div>My family is a breeze to shop for, I could get that done in no time. But with addition of Mark's family it presents a problem. What do I give them? He's not much of a shopper so I cant leave it up to him. And then a thought popped into my head to give them a gift basket with homemade goodies. <em>I'm hoping they would enjoy something like that. </em><br />
<br />
In the arts and crafts community its always preached to give handmade/homemade because people enjoy it more than a store bought gift. But is that really true? Ive never actually given a handmade Christmas gift...other than the odd picture frame I covered here and there. It always seems like when I make something I tend to keep it for myself.<br />
<br />
What do you think? Would you enjoy receiving a basket of homemade goodies?<br />
<br />
Here are the recipes I'm considering:<br />
<br />
<strong>Christmas Cookie Mix in a Jar</strong><br />
<br />
The Mix<br />
1 1/3 cups flour<br />
1/4 cup sugar<br />
3/4 cup packed brown sugar<br />
1 cup M&Ms<br />
1 cup regular oats<br />
1 tsp. baking soda<br />
1/2 tsp.Kosher salt (or 1/4 tsp table salt)<br />
<br />
To make cookies, mix jar contents with 1/2 cup melted butter, 1 egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Drop by 2 tablespoons on cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 350°.<br />
<br />
(makes about 2 dozen cookies)<br />
<br />
Instructions<br />
<br />
Layer in a 1 quart jar<br />
1. Mix flour, salt & baking soda, place in bottom of jar<br />
2. Oats<br />
3. M&Ms<br />
4. Brown Sugar (press down firmly)<br />
5. Sugar<br />
Screw lid on tightly, add ribbon and the label.<br />
<br />

<br />
<strong>Peppermint Patties</strong><br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
2 cups powdered sugar<br />
1.5 tbsp softened butter<br />
2 tsp peppermint extract<br />
1/4 tsp vanilla extract<br />
2 tbsp cream<br />
8 ounces (about 1-1/3 cup) dark chocolate, chopped<br />
1 tbsp vegetable shortening<br />
<br />
Preparation:<br />
<br />
Line a cookie sheet with wax paper or a silpat. In a blender, cream together the sugar, butter, extracts, and cream on low speed. After the ingredients are combined, raise the speed to medium-high and beat for an additional 1-2 minutes until mixture holds together very well and is creamy, not powdery.<br />
<br />
Using a teaspoon, roll the candy into small balls and flatten them on the wax paper or silpat with the palm of your hand into patty shapes. When done, put them in the refrigerator to chill for 20 minutes.<br />
Meanwhile, melt the chopped chocolate and the shortening in the microwave or over a double boiler.<br />
<br />
Using dipping tools or two dinner forks, dip the patties into the chocolate one by one. Drag them across the lip of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate. Return them to the wax paper or silpat, and place back in the refrigerator to set the candies. They should be ready to eat in a few hours.<br />
<br />
Due to the dairy ingredient, these need to be kept in the refrigerator. Layer the patties between sheets of parchment in an airtight container. They'll last for a month.<br />
<br />

<br />
<strong>Peppermint Hot Fudge Sauce</strong><br />
<br />
Yields 4 cups <br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
2 c. unsweetened cocoa powder<br />
1 1/2 c. sugar<br />
1 c. brown sugar<br />
1/4 t. Kosher salt<br />
2 c. heavy cream<br />
1 c. unsalted butter, cut into pieces<br />
2 t. peppermint extract (substitute vanilla, if you don’t want the mint flavor)<br />
<br />
Directions: In a double boiler over medium heat stir in cocoa, sugars and salt. Add the cream and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the butter is melted and the sauce comes together and is smooth and glossy. Bring to a boil for 1 minute. Then, remove the bowl from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes. Stir in the peppermint extract. Store in the fridge and re-heat when ready to use.<br />
<br />
Storage notes: This sauce is great to packages in glass jars for gifts. When pouring the sauce from the bowl into the jar it is helpful to use a kitchen funnel if you have one available. This sauce will stay in the fridge for up to two weeks or more. <br />
<br />
Serving ideas: In addition to ice-cream, this sauce is excellent drizzled over slices of pound cake, cheesecake or a meringue. The version made with vanilla extract is also delicious served with poached fruit<br />

<br />
<strong>Homemade Granola</strong><br />
<br />
6 cups of oatmeal<br />
1/2 cup wheat germ<br />
1 1/2 cups slivered almonds<br />
2 1/2 cups chopped pecans<br />
1 cup coconut (flaked) <br />
1/2 dark brown sugar ( I use a little more)<br />
1/2 cup non flavored vegetable oil<br />
1 tsp cinnamon<br />
2 TBS vanilla<br />
1-2 cups assorted dried fruit (I use dried cherries)<br />
1-2 cups of add-in (mini chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, cereals)<br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 225 degrees.<br />
<br />
Mix all ingredients except dried fruit and add-ins in a large bowl. Mix well to coat evenly. Distribute on 2 large rimmed baking sheets.<br />
<br />
Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes. Turn every 15 minutes.<br />
<br />
Remove from oven and cool completely. <br />
<br />
<br />
<em>And possible a few more things....... what do you think? Do you have any creative suggestions on how to package it all?</em><br />

Ive been absent from my blog for a little while; I promise I have a good excuse. As always I try to keep it real here on my little piece of blog land. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Mark's stepfather was diagnosed with a brain tumor in December 2009 and recently passed away. We've been doing our very best to be close to his mother in her time of need. It happened about two weeks before Thanksgiving and he was surrounded by family as he passed. The funeral was very touching; he was a retired Police Officer as well as a veteran. The Police Department did an amazing job; each one taking a turn at standing guard over the casket. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I thought I had done a really great job of keeping myself composed at the funeral. After all I wanted to be strong for Mark...that was until we got to the grave site and they played Taps on a bugle and I lost it along with everyone else. Ive heard Taps played on television, Ive seen it in the Movies. Have you ever heard it played live? It is so very heartbreaking... I cant even describe it! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">And then Thanksgiving came and went in a blur...now we're busy painting at the new house; which we were finally able to move in to.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I wanted to post a few pics of the house but I seem to have lost them soooo until I locate them, here's a picture of my niece chasing bubbles</span><br />

They are the easiest dresses in the world to make. <br />
<br />
I found several sets of kitchen towels in the target dollar spot last Halloween as well as some fall colored towels in the home good section of Target. They were super cute! And the best part of all, they're towels so the edges are already sewn for you! <br />
<br />
The dresses should easily fit any 2-5 year old and can later be worn as a shirt!<br />
<br />
Since I wasn't blogging last year I don't have pics of the actual process but I do have pics of the results!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s666.photobucket.com/albums/vv25/snbe111800/?action=view&current=dress2.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv25/snbe111800/dress2.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
This is what you need:<br />
2 Matching Towels<br />
Coordinating ribbon<br />
Straight pins<br />
Sewing Machine (or you can hand sew)<br />
<br />
*Be sure to wash your towels and lay them flat to dry before you sew them, to prevent shrinking the next time you wash*<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
Lay the towels on top of each other with the right sides facing each other (the part with the design) so that the inside of your dress if facing you. <br />
<br />
Measure the width of your ribbon <br />
<br />
Then measure down from the top of the dress 6 inches, plus the width of your ribbon. Example: If the ribbon is 1" measure down 6 inches + 1 inch for ribbon = 7 inches and place a pin. This creates the arm holes<br />
<a href="http://s666.photobucket.com/albums/vv25/snbe111800/?action=view&current=dress1-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv25/snbe111800/dress1-1.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Place pins down the side of the dress and repeat the process for the other side. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://s666.photobucket.com/albums/vv25/snbe111800/?action=view&current=dress-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv25/snbe111800/dress-1.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
After the pins are in the place, sew up the right side and stop at the pins, back stitch a 1/2" or so and stop. Repeat on the left side. <br />
<br />
That leaves the top of the dress open. Fold down one side of the top of your dress equal to the width of the ribbon you measured and pin and repeat on the other side.<br />
<br />
After you pin both sides, sew across and you've created the casing for the ribbon!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s666.photobucket.com/albums/vv25/snbe111800/?action=view&current=dress5-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv25/snbe111800/dress5-1.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Cut 2 lengths of ribbon around 30-40 inches and singe the edges to keep them from fraying (you can do this with a lighter or match) <br />
<br />
Turn the dress right side out and slide the ribbon through the casing on top. You can attach a safety pin to one end of the ribbon to help guide it through.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s666.photobucket.com/albums/vv25/snbe111800/?action=view&current=dress3.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv25/snbe111800/dress3.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Its that easy! I know it sounds like a lot of work but in as little as ten minutes you can make these fabulous dresses for that special little girl in your life! Give it a try and let me know what you think!<br />

<br />
So today I'm dreaming of:<br />
<br />
A huge empty closet...oh the possibilities!<br />
<br />
<div><a href="http://www.houzz.com/photos/72306/Closet-traditional-closet-"><img alt="Closet traditional closet" border="0" height="333" src="http://st.houzz.com/simages/72306_0_8-9152-traditional-closet.jpg" width="500" /></img></a></div><div style="color: #444444;"></div><br />

I love the shelf space and rug in this one and I want that chandelier! <br />

However, somethings are just weird! Join me if you will on my little visual journey. </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I've scoured the Internet for interesting design ideas (okay, I just went to </span><a href="http://www.houzz.com/"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Houzz</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Now, when I say interesting, nine times out of ten, I mean odd! But, I'll let you be the judge of that. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">First off we have the chenille couch. I'm just wondering how to comfortably sit on this thing...I can just see the little imprint it would leave behind if you sat too long.</span><br />
<div><a href="http://www.houzz.com/photos/38336/livingroom-eclectic-living-room-new-york"><img alt="livingroom eclectic living room" border="0" height="640" src="http://st.houzz.com/simages/38336_0_8-5694-eclectic-living-room.jpg" width="480" /></img></a></div><div style="color: #444444;"></div><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">A swing in a living room just spells disaster. Its interesting, possibly even fun; but still strange. Maybe on a sleeping porch or something like that?</span><br />
<div><a href="http://www.houzz.com/photos/19367/Schriever-Residence-eclectic-family-room-san-francisco"><img alt="Schriever Residence eclectic family room" border="0" height="750" src="http://st.houzz.com/simages/19367_0_8-7348-eclectic-family-room.jpg" width="500" /></img></a></div><div style="color: #444444;"></div><br />
I don't even know where to start with this one!<br />
<div><a href="http://www.houzz.com/photos/21652/MIssion-Loft--living-room-san-francisco"><img alt="MIssion Loft living room" border="0" height="750" src="http://st.houzz.com/simages/21652_0_8-1075--living-room.jpg" width="500" /></img></a></div><div style="color: #444444;"></div><br />
Now here's one I do like. Its a tiny little office in a tiny little closet<br />

<br />
I'm sorry but this is just a little too much horse to look at on a daily basis!<br />
<div><a href="http://www.houzz.com/photos/28304/Family-Room-contemporary-family-room-seattle"><img alt="Family Room contemporary family room" border="0" height="300" src="http://st.houzz.com/simages/28304_0_8-1995-contemporary-family-room.jpg" width="400" /></img></a></div><div style="color: #444444;"></div><br />
And now my eyes are burning...someone help me!<br />

They went from burning to bleeding...<br />

This one is just a no-no in my book. Green and white striped walls with a red headboard?<br />

And for the dog...or clown (I'm not sure which) lovers; you can add these to your house.<br />

Ive joined forces with </span><a href="https://www.armyofwomen.org/getinvolved"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Army of Women</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> to stop breast cancer before it starts!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">In the 1990's my grandmother was affected by this disease and ultimately had to have one of her breasts removed. I saw the pain that she endured and still endures to this day. I have friends who, in their twenties have been affected by breast cancer. It affects us all, no matter what age, race, sex, or color.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Please take a moment to read through these facts about Breast Cancer and join the fight!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">1 in 8 women will get Breast Cancer</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Breast cancer risk increases with age and every woman is at risk. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Every 13 minutes a woman dies of breast cancer. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Seventy-seven percent of women with breast cancer are over 50. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Approximately 1400 cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed in men in 2000 and 400 of those men will die. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">More than 1.7 million women who have had breast cancer are still alive in the United States. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women between the ages of 15 and 54, and the second cause of cancer death in women 55 to 74. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Seventy-one percent of black women diagnosed with breast cancer experience a five-year survival rate, while eighty-six percent of white women experience five-year survival. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The first sign of breast cancer usually shows up on a woman's mammogram before it can be felt or any other symptoms are present. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Risks for breast cancer include a family history, atypical hyperplasia, delaying pregnancy until after age 30 or never becoming pregnant, early menstruation (before age 12), late menopause (after age 55), current use or use in the last ten years of oral contraceptives, and daily consumption of alcohol. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Early detection of breast cancer, through monthly breast self-exam and particularly yearly mammography after age 40, offers the best chance for survival. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Ninety-six percent of women who find and treat breast cancer early will be cancer-free after five years. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Over eighty percent of breast lumps are not cancerous, but benign such as fibrocystic breast disease. </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">You are never too young to develop breast cancer! Breast Self-Exam should begin by the age of twenty. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Please visit </span><a href="https://www.armyofwomen.org/getinvolved"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Army of Women</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> and get involved! I pray that one day in my lifetime there might be a cure. </span></em><br />

Front of the house - Complete with sad little bushes and a detached porch! I definitely see some paint on the house and the shutters. Possibly gray with black shutters? Who knows...<br />

Back of the house- Its rough back here! The porch is detached from the house; who knows why! Don't know if you can tell but at the bottom of the stairs there is about a 3 foot drop to the ground below. Guess the previous owners had long legs! <br />
<br />
There is a fenced in area for a dog and behind that a lot of woods that I hope to clear out. (Not all, but some)<br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Sopapillas (pronounced sopapi-as) , are a light, flaky, deep fried flour tortilla, topped with cinnamon, powdered sugar and drizzled with honey. Although they are typically found in most Mexican restaurants, they were actually thought to have originated in Albuquerque, New Mexico, more than 200 years ago. </span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Cut the tortillas into wedges, each tortilla should yield 8 wedges. (I suggest dropping a small piece in to check the temperature of the oil) Fry 5-6 wedges at a time-- it only takes about 10-15 seconds per side to get them to<span _zipidx="67" class="786220616-16072009"> </span>golden brown. Remove and drain on a paper towel. Give them a light coating of cinnamon and then lightly toss to evenly distribute. Shake on a generous coating of powdered sugar followed by a drizzle of honey</span><br />
