Got Zucchini?!

We've been blessed with an over abundance of zucchini from our garden this year.  I took this picture after I had given several zucchini's to neighbors, and as you can see, we still have a ton.

My kids won't eat regular zucchini bread, so I've been on the hunt for recipes that they WILL eat.  Here's a few that we've tried out, and they have loved.  (Sorry, I didn't take any pictures of my finished products, but that was only because my kids & hubby devoured them!).

*Lemon/Zucchini Bread- I baked these in 2 regular loaf pans for about 1 hour, 10 minutes.  They are fabulous!!

*Blueberry Zucchini Bread- My oldest daughter was craving blueberry bread, so I made this recipe to use up some of our zucchini.  They all loved it!

We also really love THESE Zucchini Brownies too.

What about you?  Do you have any favorite zucchini recipes that your family loves?  If so, please share!

My Spin on the Pin {8.31.12}

I couldn't help but love THIS CARD.   The stitching drew me in...I had to give it a try!

Here's My Spin on the Pin...

I ended up making two cards, but switched up the color of the flower to make them a little different.

These were fun to make.  I think I may have an addiction to sewing on my cards!  Atleast I'm getting some use out of my sewing machine!

Happy Friday, and happy Pinning!

My Spin on the Pin {8.24.12}

A week ago, I shared a card that I wasn't 100% pleased with.  After changing it up a bit, I ended up with a card that made me happy.

Here's my 2nd Spin on the Pin...

What I wasn't happy about on my first card was the ribbon.  I don't know why, but I just didn't like how it looked.  Rather than using ribbon on this card, I chose to put my stamped sentiment there instead.  And then blinged it up a bit with some pearls.

Since I already had the sewing machine out, I went ahead and made another one, but used a different flower in the center of the scalloped circle.

I like it a lot.

It's hard to see, but the center of the flower is raised up a bit with 3D foam squares.

So what do you think?  Do you like my first card better, or these ones? 

Have a great Friday, and Happy Pinning!
