Christmas may be over…
but that doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate a “minty Saturday,” right???
Trying to clean & pack up some of the Holiday Home Show stuff.
But always looking for a little sweet pick-me-up treat while cleaning!!!

Looks like there was some yummy Christmas morning brunch happening down in central Illinois yesterday. Yummy monkey bread with fruit & coffee… all in some fun holiday pottery!!! Thanks for sharing your morning moments with us Allyn!

Just a little something-something for our family Christmas get-together.
A little chocolate, a few cherries & a lot of cheesecake!
Homemade food always tastes better on handmade pottery!

Merry Christmas everyone… hope you’re enjoying your festivities today!

Last minute touches… cheery cherries being added one-at-a-time
to today’s dessert headed to our family Christmas get-together!

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!!!

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!!!

Looks like Santa came a little early?!
And now it’s time to make some Christmas cookies!!!

Beautiful texture stamps to press into your dough before baking… and you know how much I love stamping!!! Thanks to the folks at FUN FOOD TOOLS.

Check ‘em out at www.funfoodtools.com… plus, they’re currently running a Holiday Sale!!!

Looks like Matthew & Kristy are kicking off the first December night with a beautiful cranberry martini… along with one of my little shot glasses. Great colors, great composition. But it’s really the gleam of light in the martin glass shadow that I’m totally diggin’!!!

And now that we’re all snow-covered…
I thought it might be appropriate to bring white-covered OREOs
as a snack for my co-workers today!

Not only did I leave Thanksgiving with a bunch of leftovers… but I got a bunch of homegrown eggs as well. Their backyard chickens are still working hard producing eggs. Thanks Kelly for sending some home with me!
