After a fantastic food-filled & game-filled Thanksgiving Day with my wonderful “adopted family” of friends… there wasn’t much left of my pumpkin cheesecake. Even the little ones liked it. So I guess it was a hit!!!

All ready for our Thanksgiving Feast!!!
My contribution for the best part of the meal… DESSERT!!!

I made a Marbled Pumpkin Cheesecake with a gingersnap cookie crust!
Always fun to have a nice platter to present my dessert on… I hope everyone likes it?!!!

Just doing a little “slip trailing” with melted chocolate!!! Decorating my dessert contribution to today’s Thanksgiving feast. And I wanted a smaller circle to create the ring of dots around… so why not use a smaller bowl upside-down as the “stencil”???

Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving Day!
Hoping you’re all having a fantastic day with family & friends… and plenty of pumpkin pie!
And my THANKS to all of you for your ongoing support & encouragement…
you’re the BEST… Thank You again!!!

“FOR GOOD” was real good!!!

Last night we went to see “WICKED FOR GOOD” on IMAX and loved it. The performances are amazing, the vocals crazy… and so fun to see how everyone & everything came together, transformed, evolved, devolved & pulled it all together “for good.” I must say… loved the stage version, but I’m still loving the movies so much more!

Last night we followed the Yellow Brick Road back to Oz… for a double-feature “refresher” course! My sister Jen & niece Taylor went way “over-the-rainbow” with their thematic decorations & colorful foods!! Perfect timing as we’re returning to the Emerald City tonight … “WICKED: FOR GOOD.”

Looks like Beckie is celebrating her own little MUGSHOT MONDAY with her new festive Holiday Mug! Thanks for stopping by yesterday, hanging out, shopping, chatting… and for sharing this special moment with us Beckie!!!

Another wonderful gift that arrived during my Holiday Home Show… so many goodies thanks to loyal fans & friends that know me all too well. Thanks to Tracy for this holiday box of fun!!!

After a very full weekend of “Holiday Home Show-ing”… it felt great to get out this morning for another beautiful sunrise bike ride. Some wonderful cloud colors ever-changing through the sky… until it kind of petered-out into basic grayness.

You know you had a successful weekend when the dishwasher is full both days with all of the used “hot apple cider mugs!”… yes, I made a special set of mugs just for the Holiday Home Shows… they only come out twice a year!
