The Clock is Ticking!

Can you believe another year is upon us? Where oh where does the time go! I remember my dear old MOM telling me when I was young, to stop wishing my life away becasue when you get older time will fly by! Boy was she right!

While I don't dislike a New Year, I don't like what it brings....

All of my favorite, deep rich colors, twinkly lights and memory filled Christmas Decorations get taken down and stored away until next year!

I will miss you dear old treasures! See ya' next year!

Giving and Receiving Part 2!

I have some many wonderful, generous, kind hearted and talented friends that I like to share the Christmas Spirit with by giving them a little something I love, that is homemade!

So, I packaged up 48 of these little cuties for each of them!

It's Christmas Tea, sometimes known as Russian Tea, Wassil, etc.

It's sooo good! It's an orange cinnamony tea that hits the spot on those cold winter days and nights!

I even gave the FED X driver one as he carried 6 large Longaberger boxes up my snow covered driveway last week!

When he returned today to carry two more boxes up my freshly snow covered driveway, he said "Man, was that tea good!", thank you again!

What homemade gifts or store bought do you like to bestow on your friends at CHRISTmas time?

Christmas Giving and Receiving!

It's better to give than to receive....of course that was said by someone who didn't receive this!

This oh so perfect primitive tool caddy filled with so many goodies, including local honey, a varitey of teas, bayberry candles, pomegrante lotion and D. Nau's world famous cinnamon sugar covered almonds and pecans! What more could a girl ask for!



Who needs Santa when gracious, kind hearted, ultra giving M. Nau presents this little beauty to you!



Thanks M, I couldn't have picked out a more perfect gift for me!

Hope, Peace, COOKIES!

My Annual Christmas Cookie Exchange was last Saturday! This is the 11th year for my exchange here in the bluegrass state!



There were 17 sweet and oh so Talented women who attended with 10 dozen cookies in hand!

The varities included cranberry shortbread, cranberry bars, Lynn's famous pizelle's, Aunt Mary Dillion's praline cookies, clothespin cookies, rootbeer cookies, white chocolate cranberry popcorn and oh so many more tasty treats!

They each departed with 10 dozen assorted cookies to enjoy during the CHRISTmas Season and a recipe book with each cookie recipe to make them throughout the year!

What are some of your annual Christmas traditions?

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Countdown to Christmas!
