JUST LISTED TWO MORE THINGS TO ETSY!!! I love that cat's face or does it LOOK like a doggy to YOU?!! tee hee

and the other day when I went browsing for a second, I saw "The Fairy Tree" painting by Richard Doyle on Vanessa's Blog(a Fanciful Twist) and I wasn't intending to create a Fairy Tree at all but that's what ended up becoming!

Just a second ago, I found my magic for the day on Gina's(my friend) Blog! Her Youtube gave me the magic of smelling gingerbread!!! Isn't that wild, but it is true! You've experienced these moments in time! Everyone has!!! Just be on the alert for your magic every day and it will come! I didn't think I would find it today because DEATH found it's way near my family once again. A classmate of (my daughter) Gina's was buried yesterday. He was only 29. What can one say to this? How many people are in mourning this Christmas?!! I offer them my sorrow and prayers. Thoughts do become things! I BELIEVE this sooOOOOOoOOo say a little prayer for those less unfortunate than us this Christmas. Give yourself. O! Here's Gina's (friend)YouTube SWEET video!!! Who knows?!!! Maybe You'll smell gingerbread too!!!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rkt8ZAmcnVA

***SUGAR AND SPICE BUT NOT EVERYTHING IS NICE***

Aren't those little tiny glittery sugar cubes the SWEETEST??!!!!! i got these the 6th of December, the same day Vanessa V showed us her A Fanciful Twistwhimsical glittery BEAUTY FULL glittery pink house she made!!!**** I was geared up to start my glittery house soon!!! Friday morning brought an ambulance and firetruck across the street from where I live and that dreaded DEATH took my sweet little neighbor away!!! I always saw John and we waved at our mailboxes! His wife and him take in stray cats soOOoooOoooOO they have 13!!! I seeeeeeeeeeee some of them over here on my hill roaming, climbing trees and hunting and sometimes fighting!!! Scat! tee hee I baked 2 messes of cookies and took them over a while ago and his wife looks like she is lost. I am soO sad.....thinking of her over there by herself breaks my heart, at least she has those sweet 13 cats!!! Her daughter has an angel's voice, she'll take good care of her and I will have to get her mail now every day I think. She can't walk that well and with winter, UG!!!
O! and LOOK at those lovebirds!!!!!! We went out Saturday, December 8th to CELEBRATE their 60 years of marriage!!! I was determined to really enJOY these moments with my mom and dad. My son, Damon and his gal Natalie surprised us and joined us for a sweet dinner!!!
I'll give YOU the recipe for those M&M cookies! It is a recipe from the 80's probably!!! 70's??? Phew! Who knows, but it is old but my family LOVES em!!!
it says,
M&M CANDIES
SUPER COOKIES
1 package (150z plain or peanut Choc.candies)
1Cmargarine(I use butter)
3/4 C granulated sugar
" " brown sugar
2 eggs, 1 tsp. vanilla, 2, 1/2 C flour, 1/2 tsp. soda, 1/2 tsp salt(I never use this) 1 C chopped nuts if desired,(I LOVE walnuts!)
Coarsely chop 1, 1/2 cups candies, reserve whole pieces for decoration. Beat together all ingredients. Stir in chopped candies(I use choco.chips too!) and nuts last. Drop by rounded tablespoon on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 9-11 min. Remove from oven, immediately press 3(more for me!!! tee hee) reserved candies into top of each cookie. Cool on wire rack. Makes about 5 dozen cookies! Yeah right! Mine must be bigger because I get about 2 1/2 dozen! LOLPink Rose Pastries

THERE'S SOME GALS I KNOW UNDER THE WEATHER SOoooooOoOOOO HERE'S SOMETHING TO MAKE YOU CHUCKLE!!!

Now, I can say I made the cover of Harper's BAZAAR!!!! I told YOU I was going to use some photos of myself in collages!! tee hee Try it, it's FUN!!!

well, if YOU get that little paper "PARADE" in with your Sunday paper YOU already know the news!!! NOW, they have found LEAD IN LIPSTICK!!!!! tO LEARN some more about it go to Parade.com The bigger companies don't seem to "Give a Damn"(excuse me but Clark Gable used this when he wanted to get your attention soOOOoo I thought I'd try it too!) What's next????? SOAP??? Shoes????!!! underwear????!!! They'd better start testing everything!!! My kids are all grown but if YOU have smaller children, what are YOU supposed to buy them???!!!and what if YOU already bought the toys that have been recalled? Do YOU get re-inbursed??? I know toys are expensive!!! I KNOW YOU have to throw the toy out or take it back but $$$$$$ don't grow on trees! I guess I'd better be practicing making more things because that's what it might come to! I remember my youngest son's birthday. We waited around til the last minute to buy things for his birthday and the day before and his birthday, we were snowed in!!!! I had to make all the decorations, him a pillow and a stuffed ball!!! Phew! Was he ever disappointed at even a year old!!! LOL
