SUYL - What We Make

As part of Kelly's Show Us Your Life Friday's,
below are some newer items that have yet to be added
to the website.

Thanks Kelly for allowing us to show our work!

The picture above shows a donor wall engraved a
few years ago.

Above are wood frames engraved for a teams'
coaches this 2011 season.

A new wedding tile made for a bride and groom recently,
as part of their wedding registry at a gift shop nearby.

An engraved wedding gift was drop-shipped
to a couple several weeks ago and they
subsequently ordered a tile
for their new home showing
their street number.

And one of my closest friends recently welcomed
a new grandson, Kaden.
I shipped the above tile to her home and now the argument
is who does this gift belong to;
the parents, or the grandparents:)

Thanks again Kelly for allowing us to show
our work links on your SUYL Series.

Have a blessed weekend,

Very Special Events!

So very many special events this time of year
and I wanted to share some things that have
been engraved recently for some of these.

The photo below shows tiles engraved for a
Church in San Diego, California.
These will be placed on a wall outdoors very soon.
I hope to get a picture of the finished product
and if I do, I'll share it here.

Friends of ours are getting ready to celebrate
their 60th Anniversary of their local tractor business,
a wonderful legacy left by Mr. John A. Conroy.Some items were engraved for each of Mr. Conroy's
children and grandchildren, while other tiles were
engraved for the auction they will hold during the
celebration, with all proceeds being given to our local
FFA Chapter.

L. S. U. will be holding a "Cajun" celebration this weekend
for a dear friend of ours who is retiring this year,
after 34+ years of coaching.
We would love to be able to be there for the celebration
but since we can't, a sweet lady who owns a local
Baton Rouge business;
Dream Silkscreens & Varsity Sports,
will be giving this to our friend during her celebration.
There will be some BIG shoes to fill in the 3rd base

coaching box at the softball field at L. S. U.
What a wonderful career Yvette has had, she will
be missed by many on the field, but we're hoping
after retirement, she'll be able to visit more often!
For several years, I've engraved cut out wood in
the shape of the State of Texas
for the Jesse May Smoky-Eyed Barbecue Cook-Off.
This year they decided to give engraved tiles
instead, for their awards.

They give 1st-10th Place Awards in 3 meat categories,
then give other awards for miscellaneous categories.
This year for the first time they are giving a
"Grand Champion Award".
Best of luck to all who enter!

And this will be a very special Mother's Day
for our family.
Our youngest niece, who made her
public profession of faith on Sunday,
will be baptized!
My sister's granddaughter,
who is also named "Anna" will be baptized as well!
We are all so very thankful for these two young
ladies to have made such an important decision,
the BEST decision of their lives!

Such a busy time of the year and I hope to
share other 'special event' products soon.
Have a blessed week,
Kaye
In repentance and rest is your salvation,
in quietness and trust is your strength...
The Lord longs to be gracious to you;
he rises to show you compassion.
For the Lord is a God of justice.
Blessed are all who wait for him.

Unique Personalized Teacher Gifts

"Show us your life" from sweet Kelly

at Kelly's Korner

is featuring "teacher gifts" this week

therefore I thought I should show some

samples of "teacher gifts"

I've engraved in the past.

Shown above is a 6" x 6" Tan Engraved Tile.

This can be personalized with the teacher's name

engraved on top of the tile and the student's name

and year engraved on the bottom of the tile.

Shown above is a 12" x 12" Engraved Tile

for a very devoted teacher of 26 years.
Above is a personalized wood photo frame.
The frame holds a 4" x 6" photo and can be engraved
horizontally or vertically.
The personalized tile above features a quote
by Benjamin Franklin.
This tile is an 8" x 8" in 'stone'.
And above is yet another personalized
engraved tile for a very special Principal
who retired last year. This tile
is an 8" x 16" Porcelain tile.

I've also recently added a a personalized
acrylic ruler which would make a great
teacher's gift.

Please go here to see other fonts, colors, sizes,
and products. You will find with each size tile
there is a 'create your own' which essentially
means you can personalize your tile with any
saying, quote, Scripture, artwork and
student's name or names
and the year.

The only limit is your imagination!

Thanks Kelly for hosting and
thanks for looking.
Have a wonderfully blessed weekend.

Blessings always,
Kaye
Matthew 21:22

My heart will go on...

Here is a new cheese board I engrave with

pretty ornate handles...

and a wonderful new saying I engraved recently...

"I pray you enough"...

...but today I've been...

missing my Grandmother as she would have

celebrated her 95th birthday.

She still lives on in many hearts

and remains the most influential 'lady' in my life.

...and we lost a dear Grand Dog today which

is always difficult. Luke will be missed by many.

....but I did get in the kitchen to make some

old-fashioned iced tea cakes to take to the

Grand kids later this week

as a Valentine's Happy...

...not very pretty to look at but they do

taste like something my Grandmother once made.

...and I wanted to share another new item

recently added to the website.

The one below speaks volumes

if we will remember to.....

I lift up my eyes to the hills-
from where will my help come?
My help comes from the Lord,
who made Heaven and earth...
He will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord is your keeper;
the Lord is your shade at your right hand.
Psalm 121:1-2,4-5 NRSV

Blessings today and always,

Kaye

Who Dat?

Just couldn't help myself!

What a great season

the New Orleans Saints are having!

Who Dat?

And Happy Birthday to Trace!

So very hard to believe he is 10 today.

I pray he has a great day...and pray he knows

how very special he is in our lives

and in the lives of all who know him!

Blessings always,

Kaye

Matthew 21:22

Homemade Bread SUCCESS!

Mary Katherine and I decided we'd give Pioneer Woman's Cinnamon Rolls a try today and they did not disappoint. They are scrumptious, yummy, to die for, melt in your mouth, unbelievable....oh the ooey-gooey madness of these treats! We did in fact even use a tape measure to try to follow the recipe line by line. That was until it was time to add Maple Flavoring, and from the pictures you can tell our icing was a little bit darker than Pioneer Woman's! Our new motto: "more maple=more maddening". I will have to hold Mary Katherine accountable for saying we'd make these at least 4 times this year.

Of course, my kitchen will NEVER be the same, but that is alright, if only the smell will linger. If you haven't tried these I encourage you to do so! Your scales will vote NO don't you dare try these, but put the scales away and enjoy eating these and sharing these wonderful delicacies with friends and family!

And if you are looking for a great cookbook for yourself or to give as a gift, The Pioneer Woman Cooks is a fantastic one, with some of the most beautiful photography and the best stories, as well as some of the best recipes, ever!

I couldn't stop trying the 'breadmaking' with all of the ingredients sitting out, so I tried a Tasty Kitchen recipe for homemade rolls after Mary Katherine left. They turned out well also. They are called Heavenly Yeast Rolls and the recipe for the rolls can be found here.

The wonderful aroma of yeast at work is a special reminder of years long ago when my Grandmother would bake wonderful homemade breads, rolls and biscuits.

We didn't make a New Year's Resolution to learn to 'bake bread' this year, but I think it might just be one of ours after all. Well that and losing weight (ha!). The two just don't seem to 'fit' together, but oh well. Warm fresh breads will hopefully be a staple here and at Mary Katherine's before the end of 2010...stay tuned!

Blessings today and always,

Kaye
