it was suppose to start yesterday but leave it to me to forget and start a day late!
Hi my name is Sue and I live in Upstate N.Y. I have 3 grown children and 3 grandsons! I also have a wonderful hubby!
I am a avid scrapbooker and decorative painter!
I Love the Lord with all my heart and know that if it weren't for Him I would not have made it through many crisis in my life!
I love making new friends and I love sharing with friends!
I made some treats in honor of the Blog PARTY! I am sharing the recipe so you can make them to!
Candy Bar Cookies
1 cup Packed brown Sugar
2/3 cup butter or margarine
¼ cup light corn syrup
¼ cup peanut butter
1 tsp. Vanilla
3 ½ cups quick-cooking rolled oats
2 cups semisweet chocolate pieces
1 cup butterscotch pieces
2/3 cup peanut butter
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a 13x9x2 baking pan with foil; extend foil over edges of pan. Set aside. In a medium saucepan, cook and stir brown sugar, butter, and syrup over medium-low heat until combined. Remove from heat; stir in the ¼ cup peanut butter and vanilla until smooth.
For crust, place oats in a very large bowl. Pour brown sugar mixture over oats; stir gently until combined . Press mixture evenly onto bottom of prepared baking pan. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are light brown.
Meanwhile, in the same medium saucepan, cook and stir chocolate and butterscotch pieces together over low heat until melted. Stir in the 2/3 cup peanut butter until mixture is smooth. Slowly pour mixture over hot crust, spreading evenly.
Cool in pan on rack for several hours or until chocolate layer is firm. (If necessary, chill until chocolate is set.) When firm, use foil to lift out of pan. Cut into bars.
Thought I would share a few of my creations!

That looks far too rich for me to eat. (I don't like chocolate. I know, I'm strange.) But I just wanted to stop into your party and say hello. :)

Hey Susie! Found your blog from 5M4M. I am searching out all the scrappers to introduce myself and a new little entrepreneurial venture that my sister and I are embarking on. If you like clear polymer stamps, head on over to our blog at www.pinkpersimmon.typepad.com and leave a comment. We'll add you to the newsletter list and the giveaway when our online store launches. Should be some fun project kits in the future. We hope to be up and running in late March. Hope you'll come visit us. Have fun with the blog party!
p.s. loved you post about the family dinner thing. That is so important to us too! Such a small thing can make a huge difference.

Hi! So nice to meet you. Thanks for the recipe...it looks delicious! I'm a scrapbooker at heart, too! It's just all about finding the time. I have a 10 month old, and she gets into everything, and by the time she goes to bed, I'm pooped :-) She turns 1 in two months, and I feel so guilty because I haven't started her book yet. Time just gets away from me! Your work is beautiful, though!
Have a great weekend!
Blessings!
