Normally I would think tearing apart a book, especially a Harry Potter book, would be blasphemy! However, just before Thanksgiving we had a flood at our home which damaged a few books. Fortunately it was just 3, and not the whole library! The benefit is that I now have 3 books to craft with. I…
Christmas Cookies
Christmas cookies are a must during the Holidays. I really enjoy decorating sugar cookies and I try to make them for every Holiday. I have always used my moms sugar cookie recipe because it is such an easy but good recipe. The flavor is sweet but not too much and the cookie is so soft….
DIY Believe Plaque-Christmas decor
Can you believe that Christmas is next week?? I sat down today and started to panic a little bit thinking of all the things I need to do before next week. I had a lot of different holiday crafts that I wanted to make and of course I haven’t done most of them. After seeing Jenn’s…

Cranberry Sweet Sauce
I was lucky enough to get to review The Six Sisters new cookbook, 12 Days of Christmas with Six Sisters’ Stuff! One of the recipes that stuck out to me was the Gingerbread Waffles. As soon as I started cooking them, my kids came running in the kitchen because it “smelled like Christmas”! I knew…
