Who Doesn't Need A Bag?

As some of you know  I wear several hats.  At work I teach kindergarten, I am Teacher In Charge, I am the Student Study Team Coordinator and serve on several committees.  So it shouldn't surprise you that I also have other jobs.  I am a  CTMH (Close TO My Heart ) scrapbooking/stamp consultant and a 31 Gifts Consultant.  I don't do those travel home shows,  I just do workshops and open-houses at my home.  So, last night I had a 31 Gifts show at my home.  It was a holiday shopping theme.  Many of the girls were getting a jump on holiday shopping mainly due to the great special for this month.  For every $31 you spend you can get this great bag for just $7.  (Spend $62 and get two bags)  It is perfect for teachers, new moms, scrapbookers and gym enthusiasts and they can be personalized.  Click the picture to take you to my website and see all the great items they offer.
Here is a one of the desserts I served last night.  It is always a hit and super easy to make.

Pumpkin Cobbler

3 eggs, beaten
15 oz. can pumpkin
12 oz. can evaporated milk
1 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
18 and 1/4 oz. pkg. yellow cake mix
1 and 1/4 cup margarine, melted (I use butter)
1 cup chopped nuts


Mix the first 8 ingredients together, pour into an ungreased 13 x 9 baking pan. Sprinkle cake mix over the top, drizzle with margarine. Bake at 350 for 25 min. top with nuts. Bake for another 15 min 
It is good without nuts too, which is how I usually make it. If you omit nuts, just bake for 4o minutes.
