How to make a healthy No Bake Almond Rocca ish treat!

I have found YouTube to be a wonderful source of information on many subjects, one of them healthy cooking. A long time ago, I would go to the library and read all the books I could find on the subject, scour tag sales and flea markets for books and magazines.  That was 1982 and that was very well spent time!  Now it is 2017 and many of us young people have grown up and found our own way of learning, sharing and enjoying like minded company: blogs and Youtube have become a great source for this generation to learn.  I still love my books and look for new ones all the time, - Who knows how long the internet will last and how long it will be affordable?  I'll be enjoying it while I can and still have a faithful backup - books!

Today I was looking for a healthy and yummy treat to make for Steve and I.  I've been promising to come up with something Her would really like.  We Score!!  Thank you, Stacy,  from 'OFF GRID with DOUG and STACY'.
Here are my results!!


I wanted to share this with you, this is a real winner!  I also added a couple of things you may or may not want to.

 here is the video from Stacy:







A few things I did differently. I  chopped my almonds and my chips in my Vitamix, not too fine but I only had whole almonds ( soaked and dehydrated before storing) and the large dark chocolate chips.
I also used peanut butter and I added Molasses.  

I mixed everything using a wooden spoon and set it aside for about 40 minutes


I made the little balls and then I rolled them in chopped unsweetened coconut




Oh My, they are good!!!
I only ate one - just to make sure it was safe!  They are very rich and satisfying - one is enough!
can't wait till Steve gets home from work!
 Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

How to Make Sweet Little Paper Dress Cards!

Image
I recently watched a You Tube video on how to make an origami Paper dress, I thought these would make the sweetest card for all occasions!  So I had a great time crafting with friends and making these adorable dress card! These three are my favorites: I used an old Stampin' Up background stamp for the background on most of these. I left the sentiment off, for now, that way I can turn these into whatever I need them to be when I get ready to send it! I used the Best Glue Ever to hold the layers and the dresses- worked great!  This adhesive allows the folded paper to keep its spring by not soaking into the fibers - no wet spots showing through or dents. Just a tiny drop and bead hold it down perfectly Add glue and then put a book on it to flatten it a bit For the delicate die cut sentiment and embellishments, I also used the BGE If you are interested in learning how to make these, here is the video I used, th

Tutorial: Making Napkin Cards

Image
Here is a fun tried and true old fashioned card making technique. Long before we had all these sumptuous patterned papers we had gorgeous napkins! For depth of color and interesting texture, you can't beat them especially for the money! Most you you may have done these so this will be an ‘Oh Yeah’ moment! Have fun! You can start with any size paper napkin - I like to pick min up at Tuesday Morning, they have a wonderful selection and are usually marked down Separate the printed surface from the tissue backing - these napkins are usually 3 layers I cut my panels to fit a light weight piece of cardstock I drizzled glue on the card stock and then added my napkin panel I found it was easier to keep the light and floaty napkin on the table and then place the gluey paper on it Gently smoothed it a little bit - remember the napkin layer is very fragile I gave it a few minutes to set up and the just added a puddle of Lineco glue.

How To Restore A Vintage Rubber Stamp

Image
I have a lovely Vintage  Magenta Cat Stamp, I'm not sure of the exact year of release, but I'm pretty sure it is about 20 years old, It appears to be in perfect condition.   But on inspection, I can feel that the rubber has gotten a little dry and "tough" and what that means is that I won't get a good impression from it.  I bet you have run into the same thing with some of your older stamps!  Don't toss the stamp, there is a way to restore them pretty easily! I have on hand the little sanding blocks you can buy for about $2.00 at the hardware store.  The are very handy in the craft room!  I gave this stamp a vigorous rubbing and then wiped off the dust with a damp wipe Next a coat of glycerin - a $4.00 drugstore item - you can also re-ink your embossing/resist pad with this! Let it sit over night and then wipe with a damp towel.  Your stamp should have that nice soft rubber texture.  Now the ink will sit on the rubber!  I inked up
