How To Make A Pretty Pie Crust & Some Bloggy Love!

Okay girls, here's the secret to making a pretty pie crust...and no I haven't tried this method


*

I have been ashamed of myself for not posting these wonderful awards before now. They mean the world to me. But, I think I'll blame being sick with that virus bug & just haven't gotten around to posting until now....

This first award is to honor being a mom and I received it from Melissa @
Melissa's Heart and Home and also from Tardevil @ Confessions of a 40-something Mama Queen
Thank you both from the bottom of my heart!

*

The next one is the Sisterhood Award from Chris @ Chris's Corner and I do feel like her cyber sister! Thanks so much....

*

And looky at this cute little hug award from April @ Straight From The Heart. I'm thrilled to receive a hug from her!

**

And last but not least I am happy to receive this Lemonade Award again...this time from dear Nancy @ ~Southern Lady~

Please know I appreciate these honors so very much from you ladies! If you haven't visited each of their blogs, you owe it to yourself to go meet them...you will be glad you did! As late as I am in posting, rather than name anyone to pass them to....I want each and every blogger who has not received them to take them with you.

Hi Bo!!

I certainly hope dentures are pretty much a thing of the past (although my mother did have them but rest assured, she did not make pies!).

Congratulations on all of your awards!!

Happy rest of the weekend!!

Have a wonderful Sunday!!

Oh, so glad to hear you are up and at 'em again, Bo. I know you are glad to be feeling better.
My hubby has been sick for a week with what we have thought was just a bad cold but he needs to go see his doctor on Monday.
Congrats on the awards...you deserve them all.

Kat said...

Good morning Bo, go glad to hear that you are feeling better. Congratulations on all of your awards, you certainly deserve them all. And I loved the perfect pie crust solution, a giggle is always a great way to start the morning! Hugs, Kathy
PS - love the header

Hi Dear Bo! Thanks for your sweet words on my new job! I decided this year I was not sending out any applications whatsoever! I would just wait for those that were out there to work for me.

If my grandma made pies like that, I would still eat them! lol!! Yeh I'm greedy!

I think I'll help myself to the hug award, thanks!

The Quintessential Magpie said...

Bo, I am SO sorry you've been sick. I try to check in here every day, and I was staring to get worried. So I'm glad I saw this roll up on my blogger roll. Sometimes that thing doesn't work right, and that's why I always double check.

I'm so proud of you for your awards because you deserve them! You are such a wonderful friend to so many people and a true sweetheart. :-)

Here's hoping you feel much better and that you're up and rolling in no time. I'm pretty whipped today, and I think I'm going back to bed. I was going to go to church, but I'm too tired. I might just have to go online.

Sending much love to you...

XO,

Sheila :-)

The Quintessential Magpie said...

Oh, and I howled, laughing about the teeth crust! LOL!

XO,

Sheila

Lorrie said...

Oh Bo, the pie crust recipe is hilarious. I can just see those teeth making such a beautiful, fluted edge! Congratulations on your awards, they are well deserved.

Kat said...

Hi Bo, your comment on my list cracked me up. Believe me, if that hadn't been crossed off this list a LONG time ago, it certainly would not go on my bucket list either! Certain things need to be left to the young. Hugs, Kathy

Hello Bo, Congratulations on your well deserved awards. Your blog is always a fun and enjoyable post. It doesn't matter that you don't post more often. We all have to regulate what we do in the time that is right for each individual. There are lots of bloggers that burn out and I believe they do not regulate themselves enough according to how much they can handle. Blogging takes time, don't ya know? LOL.

Thank you for all of your kind words concerning my knee replacement. Not just today but the many times you have given me love and encouragement. It means so much to me. I WILL be fine and in fact a whole lot better. Cripple Creek here I come! Smiling BIG.

Gotta run there are so many things yet to do before I become a temporary invalid. LOL. I am not feeling sorry for myself, don't worry.

Blessings and love to you Bo and I will visit again as soon as I can.

Picket said...

Morning girl...congrats on those beautiful awards and don't even get me started on 'pie crust'! Girl I can't even make homemade biscuits & you expect me to tackle pie crust! I can't be having that horror up in my kitchen! lol Take care sweetie and have a great week!

Tardevil said...

Hope you're feeling better. Kind of worried since you haven't posted recently. If you're like me, you'd rather read than post. Was wondering if it's ok to vote for your sweetie more than once, or is it just one time per contest? Thanks.

Dianne said...

Congrats on the awards. You certainly deserve them!

I love pies and I have tried many times to make "from scratch crust" and although they taste good, they look like someone ran over them with a car. I guess I just need to practice! I'm not very patient!

And, thanks for the wonderful compliment on my blog!

Melissa Miller said...

Congrats Bo! ;)
You deserve every award dear heart!

lvroftiques said...

Lol!! Well that wasn't quite the pie crust help I had in mind!! I am seriously challenged when it comes to pie crusts! I swear they are one of the MOST difficult things to do beautifully! But hmmmmm I don't think my teeth are gonna do the trick! *winks* Vanna

lvroftiques said...

Oh and congratulations on all your awards! Vanna
