Random Christmas Stuff

My daughter made this for me at school. It is a simple little craft that would be quite easy to do. It made me think of Dawn, and her love for nature and the outdoors. This is just little nuts, acorns, gumballs, etc. glued on a round piece of cardboard and spray-painted silver.

Another view so you can see that they just used the bottom of a tealight as the base for the candle.

Some homemade granola that my family has enjoyed immensely over the last few days. I made it in the crockpot and it was quite easy!

The baby enjoying a bowl of granola. Notice the diaper next to her. She likes the picture of Winnie The Pooh on the diaper.

A plate of goodies from our neighbors. We devoured the entire plate in two servings. We gave them, as we always do, a loaf of pumpkin bread. It is easy because it makes three loaves at once.

Some eggnog bread I made that was SO good. I received this Gingerbread candle and homestead kitchen soap (which smells heavenly!) from the folks at The Old Schoolhouse. What a sweet surprise!



And now I will leave you with a poem I wrote in honor of Christmas Eve:

Twas the day before Christmas and all through the house

Not a thing was getting done and I was feeling like a louse

There was food to be cooked and last minute gifts to be bought

Chores to be done and traffic to be fought

Plans to be made and people to see...

Instead I sat at the computer and spent time on me

So what is the moral to this tale that I tell?

It's okay to let some stuff go, things will still turn out swell!

Have a great day!
