Grasshopper Applique Block
There are two things you should know right now. No… this is NOT a Christmas grasshopper. It’s not like grasshoppers are jumping around all over the place here in the Midwest at this time of year. As a matter of fact, normally, we’d be buried under a blanket of snow and grasshoppers would be hidden away… …
Christmas Tree Picture Ornament
Every year Michelle puts an ornament on the tree with her children’s pictures, commemorating that year with a date and pic.

Sweater Flambe :: BEEF BOURGUIGNONNE Recipe

Gift Box – Winter Blues Buster
I know there are some of you that flat out refuse the think about Christmas until after the last Thanksgiving dinner plate has been dried and put away. If that describes you, you’ll probably go absolutely ballistic when I start talking about the Post Holiday’s Blues. It’s January. You’ve just packed away the last of …
Wanted: Christmas Cookie Recipes!
When I was a little girl, one of my favorite things about the Holidays was baking with my mother. She loved… nah, loves… to bake, and the Christmas cookie platter in our house was always overflowing with the most delectable variety of cookies imaginable. Some of the recipes were hand-me-downs from the family. Some were …
