Yuletide Cheer



Behold the Bouche de Noel!

Thumper assisted heavily in the three step process of creating this annual baby!

We made it for the Sunday school party Hubby and I went to Saturday night.

I hear it was yummy

I wouldn't know...I was too busy enjoying an absolutely decadent Chocolate Martini!

Cheers!

Secret Santa Love




THIS arrived in the mail today
And I darned near crushed it under the thundering mammoth wheels of Big Red as I pulled out of the garage.
The postman had left the box dead center in the door.
Unfortunately dead center of the garage door still means I'm going to hit it
My beloved's car gets the squeeze on the sharing end of the garage...kwim?
Anywhoo
It's from my sweet friend K
See those cards. Those are cards of her ORIGINAL artwork. And cherry on the top? she makes these really cool stitched envies to mail them off in! ( you can see them...sort of. Click on the photo is gets nice and big and detailey! They're in front of the cards and flanked by the Starbucks cup and the Strabuck GC with a cool little felt GC holder she makes and sells too!)
I am a lucky girl. I own two pieces of her art.
And you can be a lucky girl (or guy) too.
She has an Etsy shop.
Check her out. She is insanely talented!

Postcript
Okay so check it out in January
Chicklet is basically sold out
TOLD you she was good!

Thumper more than stepped up to the plate, er trunk

Deck the Halls




The BEST thing about the advent season so far this year?
The boys are old enough to take the LEAD in the Christmas decorating.
Yesterday after early dismissal from school they went racing to the basement and started dragging up boxes and setting out the decorations.
I didn't have to ask and I didn't have to do anything
Except sit back and enjoy their handiwork!
Today
We tackle the trees!

A blurry flurry

Yes the masthead photo is a wee bit blurry

ok a whole tankard of ale blurry

but snow in Georgia is weird.

Add in the whole First of December factoid and you have yourself a genuine (pronounced Jehn YOU ine) freak of nature

or a tiny miracle

take your pick

It was lovely while it lasted...all 20 minutes of it!
