Cheesy Garlic Drop Biscuits
Alisa Bangerter
This is a perfect recipe to pull out if you are short on time because there is no rolling or cutting. The cheese and garlic add extra kick to a plain biscuit, and kids love them. They are the perfect accompaniment to serve with soups or stews, and are great served with a salad.
INGREDIENTS
2 c. flour
2 tbsp. granulated sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2/3 c. butter or margarine
1 1/2 c. grated cheddar cheese
1 1/4 c. milk
Chives (optional)
DIRECTIONS
Mix together dry ingredients. Cut in butter with pastry cutter until mixture is fine. Add cheese and mix well. Add milk and stir until just moistened. Drop by spoonfuls onto greased baking sheet. Sprinkle top with chopped dried or fresh chives if desired. Bake at 400 degrees for approx. 15 minutes.

Journal and bookmark
Started with a dollar store memo book and altered with these gorgeous papers by Basic Grey. Butterflies are cut from one of the papers, painted with glossy mod podge, allowed to dry then adhered to the cover and embellished with stickles. Bookmark made from scraps and embellished with more butterfly cutouts, rubons and stickles; machine sewn. Made with the October Quickitz by Scrapbuggy. (You can slow down or speed up the slide show by using the minus and plus buttons.)

October Quickitz by Scrapbuggy
This month's beautiful Quickitz consists of the Basic Grey Ambrosia line -- there's just no way to see how pretty these papers are in a photo or scan, but I've tried to show them off here as best I could. Check out the store link to see pics of the complete kit--this month you even get two bottles of Stickles! You'll love it!
This project was such fun. Also using the QuicKitz, I've taken those fake credit cards you get in junk mail and used my Bind it All to make a gratitude book. Each page has a letter spelling out gratitude (g on the cover). Here are just a few of the pages with some of the things I am thankful for.

Girl Scouts Slime Explorers Event, 2008
Gracie and a few of her Brownie troop members attended the Slime Explorers event this past summer. As you can see, she had a ball! Miss Cyndi is my daughter, Gracie's mom.
For this album I used a kit by Carolee's Creations,which I won in a scrapping contest a while back. It's actually a Friends kit but I altered the album covering up the "friends" with a strip of cardstock printed with the event info and added a splat to replicate the slime. TFL!
