Caramel Heavenlies
It’s the Saturday before Christmas and I’m just now doing some of my cookie baking! I almost didn’t bake any cookies, just because I know I’ll eat them if they are in the house and I don’t want to put on any more weight!! Can anyone relate with me? However, Christmas only comes once a…
Grape Salad
So, the other day I was in the Physical Therapy waiting room…waiting for my hubby to get done with his PT, and I struck up a conversation with two ladies. Somehow, we got on the subject of recipes and one of the ladies told me about her famous Grape Salad. She said she makes it…
Love me some Penny Rugs!
I was so excited today to receive a Penny Rug table runner that I ordered from Homespice. I’ve priced these in primitive stores and they are very expensive, so was happy to find an online store that carried them. I love Penny Rugs and even made a candle mat ONCE! It takes a lot of…
Provitica “Nut” Roll
Not too long ago, I saw an ad in our Sunday paper for Provitica Roll. It was mail order and cost per loaf was about $21.95 plus shipping. I would never pay that much for one, but I loved the way it looked, especially the Poppy Seed one. I love Poppy Seed rolls better than…
Are You Ready for Thanksgiving?
I don’t know about you, but I have been on Pinterest the last few days looking up recipes and ideas for Thanksgiving. I like to try new things, but unfortunately, my hubby likes the traditional dishes I make every year. You know what I’m talking about, the turkey, the stuffing, sweet potatoes, cole slaw, cranberry…
Sweater Mittens
In our community, the first Saturday in November, is the annual Farkleberry Craft Show! I enjoy going to it, so many creative people out there. A lot of jewelry vendors, I’m not really into it, but a lot of people seem to be. One particular vendor really inspired me though and it was being run…
Apple Pie
I’m sharing this basic apple pie recipe with you today. I have been making apple pies for over 40 years (yes, I am that old) and I never was taught to cook the apples first. Often, my pies would have hard apples inside or it would get too brown from over baking. This recipe will…
Vintage-Look Vanilla Bottle
I love glass bottles! I don’t know where the obsession came from, but anytime I empty a glass bottle or jar, I just can’t throw it away! I re-use them to store pantry items or I will put some vintage looking labels on them just for decorating in my home. When I finished this bottle…
Pumpkin Pie in a Cupcake
It wouldn’t seem like Fall if there weren’t hundreds or even thousands of pumpkin recipes floating around on Facebook or Pinterest. Chances are you’ve tried some of them and they turned out great and others…not so great. Which is why I like to try out recipes before I share them with you. Today, I tried…
How to Make a King Size Headboard
Recently, we upgraded our queen size mattress to a king size! You know how that goes, as you get older you need your space!! And, when I say king size I mean high too! I don’t know what I was thinking when I purchased this mattress, it was on sale, and well…a girl can’t pass…
