holiday baking....

I did a little holiday baking last week with my girlfriend Kathy...


I haven't baked for the holidays in years...
Good thing Kathy was with me. Truth be told...Kathy did most of the work. We originally were going to play at her house, but shortly before I arrived her oven died. So we loaded everything up and headed for my home.


What a beautiful mixer she owns! I have always wanted one of these. I was in awe.

Although I enjoy a hand held mixer....I am seriously considering investing in one of these beautiful appliances...that is...if I decide to return to the kitchen after a 4-5 year hiatis.....

These were Mexican Wedding Cakes....I can honestly say the batter was just as tasty as the cookies.

christmas pretties...

Over the years I have enJOYed collecting holiday decorations....but in the past 2-3 years I made the decision that perhaps it was time to just enJOY the collections I have rather than add to them. Since I made that decision I have actually downsized....putting out only a few meaning~FULL items each year...rather than a full home decorated.


This year I chose the tree decorations that reminded me of my inner child...

JOY....perfect for the inner~child waiting to be released...to play...and move on....
IN~to the new....

Ice skates....I love ice skates....I grew up on a lake and skated all winter long....I pretended I was Dorothy Hammil....do you remember making the pom-poms for the bottom of the laces? Pom-poms are so play~FULL...

This snowflake reminded me of a stuffed flower....

mmmmm...and the bulbs....so pretty and sparkly.
