Tagged for the name game!!

I've been tagged for the Middle Name Game . I've also tagged 4 others, so if you've been tagged here is what you do.........

Players, you must list one fact that is somehow relevant to your life for each letter of your middle name. If you don’t have a middle name, use the middle name you would have liked to have had. When you are tagged you need to write your own blog post containing your own middle name game facts. At the end of your blog post, you need to choose one person for each letter of your middle name to tag. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

My middle name is Marie

What Muppet I am

take the test :D what a hoot!!!


You Are Dr. Bunsen Honeydew

You take the title "mad scientist" to the extreme -with very scary things coming out of your lab.
And you've invented some pretty cool things, from a banana sharpener to a robot politician.
But while you're busy turning gold into cottage cheese, you need to watch out for poor little Beaker!
"Oh, that's very naughty, Beaker! Now you eat these paper clips this minute."

I am NOT a sewer


I started this poor dolly hmm maybe a year and a half ago? lol, I actually attached her arms and legs just a couple months ago, your guess is as good as mine as to when she might get a face and some clothes lol, any ideas for her? She was originally supposed to be a baby in a diaper but Im thinking I want to give her hair and clothes? Whatcha think?

Chicken Enchiladas



I call these American Enchiladas because they arent hot or anything lol, they do have green chilis though, really yummy, here is the pic of before it was cooked and after. I made it early in the day before it got hot then just popped it in the oven at dinnertime. Hubby loves these.


Chicken Enchiladas

2 6oz cans chunk chicken (I had some precooked in the freezer)
1 10 3/4 oz Cream of Chicken Soup
1 16 oz tub Sour Cream
1 4 oz can mushrooms (drain)
1 4 oz can green chilis
1 2 1/4 oz can sliced olives
1 bunch green onions sliced (save some for top)
1 package (12) flour tortillas
grated cheese for the top (2 Cups)
garlic powder to taste

Mix all ingredients (except tortillas) in large bowl, fill flour tortillas (about 1/4 C per tortilla) with the filling, roll up and lay side by side in 9x13 casserole dish. Spread remaining filling over top of rolled tortillas, sprinkle with grated cheese on top (I use ALOT) and top with some green onions. Bake 350 degrees for 45 mins or until center is hot. YUMM

Swingers


No its not what you think lol, get your minds out of the gutter :D im not that kind of gal. I was drawing these little annies on swings today, I think they turned out pretty cute, I want to make more but since none have sold ROTFL I think Ill wait to see how these go first.

I use Paint Shop Pro 7 to draw all my graphics, Id love to update to a newer version. Maybe soon. I used to draw with my mouse but after I had my stroke I couldnt control my hand as well as I used to so I switched to the line tool, it takes a little longer but works for me.
