Holiday Preperations

Ever felt like you spend 1/2 the holidays stuck
in the kitchen baking something?

I swear that I have either had a spoon
or a hot glue gun 
in my hand for the past 2 months.

But that's ok.
I love to be creative.
Usually that means trying a new
recipe or making a new
decoration for my house.

This year the treats for friends
and neighbors included this delicious


And a jar of blackberry jam!
Which is soooo easy to make.
Gotta love the instant fruit pectin!!


This year is probably our last year
of doing the "live" tree.
We love the smell and the fresh look
of a live tree,
but it's just not cost effective.
And we would rather by more presents,
then a new tree each year.
(fyi: the tree isn't that "thin" the cording is still
around it!)
