By tomorrow we should be getting between 2-7 inches. It is so pretty out. Not liking theContinue reading “Wonderful time of the year”

Christmas, the most wonderful time of the year, is only 14 days away. It is such a Blessed time and full of Miracles to be dismissed. I love the excitement, the feeling in the air when out in public.

Today the gift idea I’m going to share with you is for individualized potholders. I did this for the Granddaughters last year and was a big hit. I hand wrote a recipe for each girl of a dish they like me to make for them. I did this with a Sharpie on a piece ofContinue reading “A fun gift idea”
