Christmas may be over… but I’m still enjoying people sharing their Christmas Tree collections (before they get packed away)!!! I can see my tree with the silver star that Ellen added this year. And I think I can also see a couple of my pal Cory McCrory’s in the same forest with the birds on top!!! Loving all the different shapes & styles… thanks for sharing Ellen!

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!

Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season…. filled with family, friends & festivities!
A great time to relax & appreciate all of your “gifts” the whole year through.
A huge Thank You to all of you for being so faithful, encouraging & supportive
throughout the year. You guys are the BEST!!!

Merry Christmas to you ALL!!!

Looks like Bethany’s newest Christmas Tree arrived just in time…
making her wonderful & ever-growing tree collection even more special
for today’s festivities! Looks like someone might need a bigger table next year?!!!
Just sayin’…

Thanks for sharing Bethany… have a happy holiday!

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

‘Twas the Night Before Christmas… and all through the house…
I’m wrapping, packing & baking… and trying to take time to relax & enjoy my own holiday decorations. Appreciating a wide assortment of ceramic ornaments I’ve made over the years… and realizing I might “need” to make some NEW ornaments for new year. Keeping the “standard ornaments” of course… let’s not get crazy!

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!!!

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!!!
