Patty's Plop Pie Recipe

Hi everyone. Well, today was another busy one...Hospice meeting this morning. We meet at the Atlanta Bread Company, so to start off the meeting means a good cup of their coffee. We passed our cards around so we each could see see what the other's made and maybe get a few new ideas. We then spent some time making little chocolate favors for Mother's Day. Next month we'll make chocolate favors for Father's Day.

After the meeting I went to JoAnn Fabrics to look around at their stamping stuff. Since Archiver's closed, I've not bought anything for awhile, so it was time for a treat. JoAnn's had a 50% off coupon, so I bought a flower punch....I will show you the card probably in the next blog, once the card is done. After JoAnn's I went to Walmart and did some food shopping...JP needed a few things.

In the next three pictures is a pie I made that was so quick and fast....and really fun to make. It's called a fruit "plop" pie and I got the recipe from Patty, here is her address. Hopefully this takes you to her blog. http://atticfullofclutter.blogspot.com/2014/04/apple-strawberry-plop-pie.html
In the above picture, a pre-made pie crust is laid on the cookie sheet, cut up apples, strawberries and blueberries were mixed with half a package of sugar free instant vanilla pudding and "plopped" on to the pie crust. The rest of the instant pudding is sprinkled on the fruit.

The second pie crust is laid on the fruit and first crust, the edges are pinched together. I took a knife and made a few slices on the pie so it could breath a bit.

I think I baked the pie at 350 degrees till it was browned on top.....as you can see, the pie was "breathing a bit". It was really good and a very easy pie to make. Only thing missing was the ice cream or whipped cream. This pie lasted maybe one day.......JP likes two kinds of pie, hot or cold, round or square.....neither lasts very long.

Well time to close, I need to get some dishes done and go play with that new punch. So talk to you later and have a great weekend....keep looking up, OH and keep dry.....it's suppose to rain this weekend. I will be keeping an eye on the ceiling with a few buckets ready to catch the drips....uge!!!
Cheers ~ Louise

PS. Thank you Patty....the pie was delish and I will be sure to make it again!!

Friday Funday and a Few Creations

Been awhile since I added a few things to this blog that I have made. Really, really, I've been busy creating but not showing off my creations. Was shopping last week and found an ornament at the Shopko store and thought, I could make this! So, home I went to make some circles and glue them together, (thank you Sandi for all the circles you made for me on your machine and for the punch you borrowed me) here is the end result, my rendition of what I saw at Shopko. Of course, their ornament did not have JESUS on it. Ended up giving this ornament to JP for his "spiritual Birthday"The card below is a Halloween card...........not much into making halloween cards as it is so against what I believe. If people really knew what goes on and the many living creatures including babies, children and adults that are sacrificed to SATAN there would be less celebrating and worshipping of the EVIL ONE. It's a pagan holiday that does not belong.........sorry, that is the way I feel.

Anyways, went to Archivers the other day, it's "Tim Holtz"week, made this tag with the fun technique, stamping a tag, with stains, then running it through Tim Holtz's machine (only $199 if you buy it this week) the ribbon was stained and the skull and bat went through the machine also. I thought I would send the tag to my secret stamper so added it to a card and dressed it up alittle. She teaches making cards and is always looking for new ideas.....hope she likes this one. I shall have to make some more tags and do this again, maybe for Christmas cards would be nice. I do have to get on the stick and make my Christmas cards, one more month to get them done...........geez better start getting to work!!!! Need to get a few more Christmas cards in my Etsy store and a few Christmas ornaments too.

Well, time to close this blog for today, need to go pay the electric bill, get some dishes done and do some work outside, time to winterize before the first snow fall...............it's not far away, just peeking around the corner. Have a great day and keep looking up for your redemption draweth nigh. Cheers ~ Louise
