Melt 2 sticks of butter with 1 tblspn minced garlic( not powder).

Add 1 qt heavy cream

Stir 1/2 cup milk and 2 tblsn flour together and pour into pot.

1/2 lb shredded parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper

Turn heat low and stir constantly

Add cooked chicken.

If you want lemon garlic, just add lemon zest. Some lemon juice. and shrimp. Yumm!

Enjoy!

Caramel Apple Salad(it's oh so good)

8 oz cream cheese
1/2 c brown sugar
4-6 granny smith apples (peeled and chopped)

A card I did today

I am trying make cards with all the images from the swap that I hosted on the Cricut Message board. This is one of those images. I glazed the raindrops to make them look like water and the yellow dots on the umbrella. I used a metallic pen for the umbrella handle. The inside says that into every life a little rain must fall that's what makes the flowers.

A card I did today

This month I hosted an image swap with some wonderful women from the Cricut message board. This is one of the images done by a very talented lady for the swap. I bought some new colored pencils today. Koh-I-noor woodless pencils. I love them. They color so smoothly. I embossed a 8 1/2 by 5 1/2 piece of coordinations paper. It was the whitewash. I sanded the paper to accent the embossing. I made the gate fold by scoring the paper at 2 1/8 inches from the beginning and end. I put some skittles on it. Added some faux stitching inside. I hope you like it.
