And for those who might need a little more clarification of the main FESTIVUS festivities…. here’s some clarification from one of our favorites Frank Costanza… the “Father of Festivus.” So get your aluminum pole ready…


While everyone is frantically shopping, wrapping & cooking for Christmas…
don’t forget to take time out of your day to celebrate today
with a “FESTIVUS FOR THE REST OF US.” Today’s your day to let it out!!!


Looks like an amazing “invasion” of giant pastries down in Peoria!
Gotta love a good perspective shot… on a green stamped plate!!!
Thanks Matthew & team for the early morning photos!!!

So excited that this recent shipment of mugs made it safely to North Carolina… just in time for Mugshot Monday! And even better… it looks like they already have a shelf of their own to show them off!!! Thanks Gwynne for sharing your collection… that went from one mug to seven in a blink!


You know how I love a good texture… and I love a good cookie!!! So I had fun this evening doing a “practice run” with my new texture cookie stamps from Fun Food Tools!!! It was my first time so there was a bit of a learning curve… but fun the whole time! And I think this practice batch turned out pretty good… festive & yummy too!!!














It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas…
And it looks like the Christmas Trees from my ONLINE HOLIDAY SALE have started to make it to their forever holiday homes! Thanks to Beth for sharing her picture-perfect holiday vignette!

A nice little holiday “welcome home” on my back porch door
after a night of fun in the suburbs.

Another festive night of IKEA BINGO!!!
Holiday fun with three winners at our table of bingo friends… sadly, just not me!!!

And there are still some “Christmas Lights” holiday mugs available
in my ONLINE HOLIDAY SALE only on my Facebook page.

Scroll back to Tuesday night to find the original Facebook posting.
The online sale offering will close tonight at midnight!!!

Looks like Rhonda is enjoying a quiet moment on a rainy December day…
accompanied by some cute little guy stewing in her morning coffee
in her new holiday trees mug!???
