We realized today that we don't have anywhere to be or anyone expecting us to be there until New Year's Eve (when we'll be hosting our annual New Years gathering).  I had no idea that would be such a nice feeling.  We hosted Christmas here, got to experience Santa from a whole new perspective and … Continue reading →

Last weekend (yes, I'm a week behind) was Cookie Exchange weekend 2008.  I baked all day on Saturday!  Cookie Exchange #1 was at my friend Chavaun's house.  For that one, I baked Chris' recommendation, the Ooey Gooey Butter Cookies.  They were really good and easy to make, too! Sunday, I hosted the cooking club that … Continue reading →

Does anyone else find it ironic that when you have time to post, there's nothing to post about?  Yet, when you have a lot to post about, you are too busy to post it? Anyway, I am still a busy bee working on Christmas presents and I'm having so much fun with it!  Sewing is … Continue reading →

I’m moderately obsessed with making gifts this Christmas.  It’s not in an obligatory way, but when I think about a gift for someone, I automatically go to what I could make them.  I’m trying not to get overloaded or take on too many projects, but I’m really having fun with the projects I have.  I … Continue reading →

Santa's Workshop is in full swing around here.  Don't worry, I wait until Thanksgiving to decorate and that sort of thing, but if I want to make all of the things I have picked out this year, I need a head start.  I started this weekend with a shopping trip for supplies.  I didn't have … Continue reading →

Friday, we went trick or treating with the Kiddo, so not a lot of creativity there, just sharing the results of my creativity with … Continue reading →

The tin man made his debut today at his school’s fall festival!  Everyone liked his costume, and people were surprised that it was homemade!  A success! Continue reading →

It's finished!  The Tin Man costume is complete and I can't wait to see him in it!  I have seen him in bits and pieces of it, but we haven't put him in the whole costume, yet.  I noticed that I must do that on purpose because I did it last year, too.  I guess … Continue reading →

Yesterday (for Day 19), the little guy picked out a pumpkin at the pumpkin patch at school.  We were sent home with the directive to decorate the pumpkin.  I picked up some paints and a brush at hobby lobby and just let him go at it!  This was our result… I also worked on his … Continue reading →

If I were to title this post, I would have called it eyecandy.  Ha!  I'm so corny! Ha again!  Sad thing is, I wrote the second one before I even realized it was a pun.  Pardon the ketchup face, we had just gotten back from dinner and this was the first time I was able … Continue reading →
