Craft Day

Don't forget about craft day on Wednesday this week.  We will have supplies to make cards for wedding type occasions.  We will also talk about using our Cricuts and all the fun projects that we have done with them.  We will have supplies to make a Lucky banner.  As always, come craft, or come visit, it will be fun!

This was a first run, I'm sure yours will look better.

Amy Gardner--

Mary Evans--
**Williams Sonoma candy thermometer
**homemade caramels

2c white sugar
2c cream
2c white Karo Syrup
1c real butter
This will make a batch that will fit into a 9x13 pan.

or for a double batch

4c white sugar
4c cream
4c white Karo Syrup
2c real butter
This will make a batch that will fit into a Texas sheet pan.

Before you start, butter the sides and the bottom of the pan that you are going to pour the cooked caramel into.
Melt the butter (I melt the butter on low).  Remove from heat and add sugar then add cream and Karo Syrup.
Cook over medium heat stirrng quite often.  I like a soft caramel so I cook it from about 239 to 242 degrees.  I have cooked them as high as 245degrees and they are still soft.  Pour into buttered pan.  After the caramel cools, if you decide you want it a little firmer, you can remove it from the pan and re-cook it.

This recipe takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes to cook.

Save the date

There will be another craft day on February 23 starting at 10am at Amy Gardner's house.  We will be paper crafting and using the Cricut to make...something.  Details to come. 

We had a great time at the last craft day and reports are that some projects were completed within a week or two of the craft day!!  Woohoo!  p.s. not everybody crafted, some people just came to visit, you can too!
