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!!!

So today was the first day of my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW… and it started out to be a very “sweet” day!!! Especially when some of your customers bring you treats… like these special “festive” OREOs which I’ve never even seen before?! Red & green filling layered between character-stamped cookies!

And oh, but wait there’s more… the red crème filling actually shoes through cookies in just the right places… I mean… who doesn’t want a red-frosting-nosed-reindeer?! Thanks Diane & Jim!

Just a little more festive flair to make the holiday shine brighter! There’s a selection of mixed metallics… silver, gold & copper! And some trees with no stars for the “nature purists” out there!!!

Just a quick sneak peek into the kiln to see the top layer of fresh, new Christmas Trees!!! Almost ready for this weekend’s HOLIDAY HOME SHOW. They just need a little more festive charm… coming soon!!!

Melts in your mouth, not in your hands! And one of my favorite holidays…
celebrating NATIONAL M&Ms DAY!!!

After yesterday’s Andersonville Farmer’s Market… I was stocked-up at Stamper Cheeses & prepared for today’s holiday… who knew?! So here I am with my favorite blue cheese & blue cheese-layered Brie… for NATIONAL MOLDY CHEESE DAY!!! Yummy!!!

Celebrating NATIONAL GUACAMOLE DAY with a quick snack before teaching class tonight! Fresh & yummy… with some homegrown tomatoes from my friend Lisa!

Celebrating NATIONAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DAY
with a quick snack after teaching class.

And thinking of my Mom who used to bring homemade cookies
to almost every art fair!!! Such sweet memories…

My Monday night class has been focused on “enclosed forms” lately. So we combined that with a little Christmas in July!!!… and Halloween too, but that doesn’t have the same ring to it?!!!

The highlight finale of the Fourth of July Celebration yesterday was the AMAZING fireworks display that the town of Chenoa puts on every year. Bigger & better every year & totally synchronized to the music soundtrack. Crazy amazing fireworks… especially when seen from beneath the goalpost while the fireworks are shooting off from the other end of the football field!!! SPECTACULAR!!!
