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!

After a great Thanksgiving celebration… looks like everyone is ready for a relaxing start to their day! Some of us have to work today… while others apparently get to lounge around all day & chill with a fun collection of mugs… including some new Holiday mugs just added to their collection!


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!!!

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!!!


A few more shots of this year’s collection of Holiday Mugs… just in time for this weekend’s HOLIDAY HOME SHOW!!! New stamped & soda-fired mugs with a string of Holiday Lights… as well as some mugs with Christmas Trees & star toppers… kinda like last year’s holiday mugs!







Here’s the first sneak peek… this year’s NEW Christmas Mugs with stamped holiday lights. And a few more mugs with Christmas Trees in case you didn’t get one last year! Although this time there are some stars on top too! All coming to this weekend’s HOLIDAY HOME SHOW… limited quantities, so come early!!!


Fresh out of the kiln… a batch of fun colored mugs for another Mugshot Monday!!! Each & every one will be at my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW this weekend!!! Along with a few more… as we’ll be starting out with over a hundred mugs when the doors open Saturday morning!!!

Looks like Matthew is supporting his favorite team… and going GREEN ON GREEN!!!
