Dear friends: If you follow my blog, you've probably seen my post about injuring my back earlier this month. I could whine about it -- but I won't! I'll just apologize that my "sit at the computer for a long time" has been impacted, and I'm way behind on replying to your e-mails and posting some much deserved love in the gallery. You will start to see that soon -- thanks for your patience in the meantime!

You all have ROCKED the challenge this month! I absolutely LOVE the cards and wow! ~ there are so many great recipes. Super, super job!

Don't worry about leaving messages etc. for us. Use your computer time sparingly so that your back gets better.

I'll just apologize that my "sit at the computer for very long time" has been impacted, and I'm way behind on replying to your e-mails and posting some much deserved love in the gallery.

Hi, there. We'd love to have you join us! The first time you participate, you need to purchase the starter kit from my store, design a recipe card and post it both here in the forum and in the recipe card challenge gallery, and e-mail me the print quality version (along with a blank card). You'll never have to purchase the kit again as long as you participate each month! There isn't a way to get the past recipes -- although they are available here in the gallery so you can create your own.

Hi, there. I just sent you a private message. Hopefully you'll see it before the month is over...

Maurine, don't worry about us. Take care of your back.

[Maurine Stettler]

I see someone else already replied, so if you need more info, let me know.

I'm thinking we should put together some simple, easy to follow instructions on this, as well as how to post both in the gallery and this forum. Anyone want to give it a shot and e-mail me what you come up with? That way, we can include that information here in the forum in its own separate thread for those who need it.

Can you think of any other instructions we should put together and post?

I love Mexican but my hubby does not. So, I don't have any original recipes. I hope it is ok that I used this great sounding recipe from RachelRay.com.

[logicgrandma]

Here are my cards. I will also send the blank cards, but refuse to take gallery space for them.

Maurine, take care of yourself. Don't worry about comments. Not many other hosts comment anyway.

Love Mexican food!!

Well, I left the "simple" cards this month for my Lime Rice. My daughter asked me if I had to use "all of the elements" on the card. Sadly, I still don't know how to post my card so you will have to go to the gallery to see my "overdone" card.
