Trash to Treasure

I came across an old insulator like the one pictured below.

 (I got this pic on the net, since I forgot to snap a "before" picture.)

I couldn't help myself.....

I just had to transform this interesting looking thing into

SOMETHING.

So I headed out to the local craft store for some inspiration......

And here's the result...

Strawberries...

One of my favorite things about this time of year is 

Strawberries!

And this year

we had LOTS of

Strawberries!!

Picking strawberries was a 

Family Affair.....

Take a look...

My daughter stopped by to pick her bucket full.

Jack helped....well sort of...

Both the grandkids sampled the 

PURE GOODNESS....

Isn't she a doll?

Pappy thinks so!!

Love this picture of the "strawberry handoff"

Forget the bucket, it goes straight in his mouth!

 All good things must come to an end:(

But don't you leave before I share one of my favorite shortcake recipes.  

It's the kind of cake you make, 

ONLY

if you know all of it will be eaten in one sitting.

Here's the recipe..

Makes you want to go whip up a strawberry shortcake and invite your friends or family over, huh?....
