Early morning baking for today’s Christmas festivities!
Of course it’s gotta be chocolate, right?!
Yes, with a dash of shredded carrots just to make it “healthy’!!!




‘Twas the night before Christmas…
and all through the house, not a creature was stirring…
except this “yahoo” who is still frantically wrapping presents!
Like this mug duo with a hint of a “chocolate mint” theme!
Guess this is what happens when “someone” plays a bit too much leading up to Christmas?!



You gotta love when you pop into your studio and find a sweet treat waiting for you!!!
Who knew these even existed??? Not me!
Thanks Donna for the wonderful surprise… you obviously know me too well.


Not quite sure what this tasty morsel is… but it sure does look YUMMY!!! And I’m pretty darn sure that plate only makes it taste better!!! Thanks for sharing Sarah!

Celebrated Thanksgiving with my Dad today… my very first Thanksgiving at a restaurant!
It wasn’t what I’m used to, but we had a great meal & good conversation…
maybe the start of a new tradition? But sadly, no leftovers!


Gotta love surprises care packages in the mail…
from great friends who know you oh so well. Thanks Sarah!


This week in my Tuesday night pottery class, we enjoyed some new OREOs “imported†from Croatia by my friend Tracy! Who knew that they even made a Travel Edition?!


A sweet end to our HOT CHOCOLATE 5K Walk through the City! Chocolate fondue with plenty of dipping fun. Yummy!!!



I mean, I had to stay “on-theme“, right?! Faux s’mores at the Expo…
and chocolate bundt cake after the race!
