There's something I love about the song that comes with the evening...maybe it's because my husband comes home about then....I love the long shadows, the quiet rustle of the leaves in the trees, the cool evening air, the crickets singing....I love it all and it's a beautiful way to wrap up the day.
Today I have a card and a recipe for you as promised.
I was thinking about my mom while making this card the other day....I always love to create with someone specific in mind. She is someone I love from head to toe...inside and out...day in and day out. She's the type of person that is always put together...she always smells so sweet and yummy...tidy as a pin....involved in just about everything there is to be involved with...and can do anything. I need to share her Chocolate Ice Box Dessert recipe with you...it's pure heaven I tell you, and it only tastes good when she makes it.
I used many of my favorite things on this card...Melissa Frances paper, gems, and elements from a Attic Treasures Postcard kit (picture and resin photo corners), a Glimmer Chip from Tattered Angels, along with Pink Bubblegum Glimmer Mist...I included a close up of the leaf so you could see the beautiful shimmer that is left when the mist dries, and a couple of my most favorite stamp sets from Papertrey Ink, including Life and Background Basics: Text Style stamp sets, Spring Moss cardstock, Dark Chocolate Ink, and Vintage Cream buttons.
Now, here's the Blueberry Cream Muffin recipe for you. The only addition I made was sprinkling sugar on top of the muffins before I baked them. They're so good.

Enjoy your Spring evening.

Oh Melissa I love it. Not that I don't love everything you create.
You are a wonderful artist. Thanks for the recipe and have a great day.
Take care,
Paola

Yummy card and yummy recipe. Thanks Melissa!
I love bird song. There's that moment it starts in the morning, just when the sun peeks out in the sky, and it's always a lovely sound. I even have a CD of bird song that I sometimes listen to when I fall asleep at night. Bliss!

Your eloquent words paint such a serene and idyllic picture of your life and your sweet artwork is the icing on the cake, or cupcake as is the case today. Thank you for the blueberry cream recipe. I have promptly (and dutifully) passed it on to my husband, but I'm tempted to make it myself (assuming I can find my way to the kitchen) and surprise him.
