I’m so lucky to be blogging today. I’m sandwiched right between introductions of the new Paper Crafts Go-to Gals. It’s like I’m meeting my new best friends.
Don’t you agree? I can hardly wait to see what the new Gals bring to our future issues of Paper Crafts.
In the meantime, I would really like to sit down with each of them, sip a cup of coffee, nibble a bran muffin and pick their brains. Ah well, I will just have to enjoy the fun interviews along with you and hope to meet them all in person someday.
With these Gals in mind, I created this card:
I also wanted to share this really yummy bran muffin recipe. Want to know the best thing about this recipe? The batter keeps in the refrigerator for up to seven weeks. You can tuck it into the fridge and pull out just enough to bake up a dozen fresh muffins when company arrives.
I’ll be waiting for you, my new best friend!

Cute card !
Seriously, this muffin mix keeps that long? I’ve been searching for a good bran muffin recipe ! We had some many years ago at a lodge we stayed at , and they were so yummy ! Didn’t taste like cardboard like so many bran muffins ! How big of a bowl does it initially take ? Thanks!
Love the card and the recipe sounds like a keeper!
Your card – awesome! Great colors – it has such a homey feeling – like my mom’s kitchen. Can’t wait to try your recipe … yum.

Your card is just adorable and that recipe is a must try. Thanks
I love that card. I just made one very close to it but I never thought to put the coffee with the bran muffin.
Congratulations Maren. It was lovely to read more about you.
Thanks, Kim, for the post–you are indeed in a “lucky” spot! The card is darling–retro, but very current at the same time. Love the color palette. Thanks for the recipe, too!
I love your inspirational idea sketchbook! I wish I could be organized enough to have one of those.
Thanks for the great recipe! That is a very cute card!
Yummy recipe, but who would wait for company? LOL Very cute card.
