Show and Tell Friday!




Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!  This week has been busy and I'm not even working! The good news is that I had a 3rd and final job interview yesterday!  Now I'm just waiting to hear if I got it.  They said they will be making a decision in the next 2 weeks! Fingers crossed!

This week since I don't have anything new to share I decided to do a year in review type of post.  The yummy muffins

Show and Tell Friday






Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!  This year I tried to save money since I'm unemployed and use my fake skinny Christmas tree that I usually put in my dining room instead of buying a real tree.  You may remember that this is the tree that I hung with blue and white china in previous years. Remember this?...




Christmas 2009



Well, it made a much nicer tree in my dining room than it does

Put a ring on it!











This morning I saw my daughter's ring sitting on the kitchen counter. It's one of those rings that has the stretchy band.  I got an idea!  It would look great on an old bottle! 







Hmmm....now I'm going to be on the lookout for more of these rings! They can do double-duty! On your finger or on a bottle!

I Love Baking!

 
It's time for our holiday cookie exchange at work and I seriously thought about not joining in this year. It's my last week of work...I was laid off on November 1st and I'm still not happy about that, but the truth is I LOVE to bake! I try not to bake too often because I also love to EAT baked goods!

 
This year I made some snowflake sugar cookies with royal icing.  I think I'm getting better

Show and Tell Friday!


Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!  Last week we had a record number of bloggers join in!!!  I could hardly believe it when I saw 527 links!!  Thanks to all of you that join in and thanks also to all of those that just visit! 
This week I'm sharing my new hummingbird feeder.   I've had so many hummingbirds in my yard lately! One even came right up to me and hovered almost nose to nose beak with me

Christmas in White!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas (finally!) in my apartment!  I moved my birdhouse table under the stairs to make room for my Christmas tree.  I had a lot of fun decorating this table top in all white!
I even decked out my dining room chandelier (above) with some faux pine branches.  It looks so pretty with the crystals hanging below the greens.  

I filled this large apothecary jar
