Well first of all, I hope all of you had a wonderfully blessed Thanksgiving week.
Time is just so precious. During this week we celebrated so much. We celebrated Thanksgiving and my dear husband's birthday... time went too quickly.
I look forward to kicking it up a notch here! Stay tuned for a fun little contest I am going to post in the next day or so! Remember... keep those comments coming! It's getting closer to our grand prize giveaway!!!

A "Sweet" Discount!

Hello everyone :0)
I just noticed yesterday that I had a 10% off coupon from ebay show up on my ebay page. I am not sure if everyone has this same discount available to them, however, I thought I would mention it since I have a wardrobe collection listing up right now on ebay! This would be a nice discount on any item, but a great discount on the Princess for all Seasons, special listing.
This discount allows you to purchase one item 10% off with up to a $100 discount!
It expires November 30th. The transaction must be through paypal.
If you have this discount available to you and would like to purchase something I do not have listed on ebay, just contact me and I would be happy to set up the listing for you right away so that you can take advantage of your discount.

Happy Birthday to my little Buddy :0)

My son, Michael is the sweetest most caring little guy:0) When I asked him what sort of party and meal he wanted for his birthday, he simply said " A surfing party with a turkey dinner". Well, days and days of prep went into his meal alone! I was tired, but it was so worth it just to see his face beam with excitement.
His special day was filled with his family, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents and friends. What a special day! What a wonderful son God has blessed me with!
Happy Birthday Buddy!



Excited and waiting for his guests to arrive!


His cake was at his request, a carrot cake from scratch. We made a giant rice crispy treat in the shape of a wave and frosted it on top of his carrot cake with homemade cream cheese frosting (dyed blue of course!) We found little surfboards online and I found a picture of him in his wetsuit, and we printed it out to personalize his cake futher. Gummy fish and sharks swam beneath the ocean's surface. A sandy platform (brown sugar) made a "sweet" ocean floor!

The Children were nestled in their beds fast asleep....

... while mom snuck another scoop of this holiday treat!

I have always been weak for a big scoop of peppermint ice cream and I have to say that Dreyer's (known as Edy's back east) makes TDF Slow Churned Holiday flavors.
One of them just happens to be Peppermint Stick! Mmmmm Mmmm!
I don't know how they pull it off, but their "slow churned" varieties supposedly contain 1/2 the fat of regular ice cream and it's fabulous! So that being said, perhaps I need to go have just one more scoop! ;0)
Oh and by the way, they have an Egg Nog and Pumpkin flavor available that I need to give a try!

One of my faves!

I thought I'd share a recipe as I start to kick off my holiday baking season :0)
This one has got to be one of my favorites!
Think...soft, moist, melt-in-your-mouth gingerbread cookies!
Yum!
My family always enjoys these. My mother passed down this recipe to me and I always remember as a child how much I enjoyed these.
Simply slip on a festive apron, play some Christmas tunes and be prepared to fill you home with the sweet aroma of a "spicy" holiday!
Enjoy!

OOPS! The directions say "vanilla" in the first step. Please realize that there is no vanilla in this recipe and was printed by mistake. You may add 1 teaspoon of vanilla to the recipe if you like ;0)

My Home Town

Hello everyone, sorry it's been awhile! I've been busy with orders and getting ready for my sons birthday! He has informed me he wants a turkey dinner for his party! Imagine how busy I'll be! So I've been taking baby steps toward the meal. Today we made our cranberry sauce and jello salad.I will post more this coming week. Until then, I leave you with a view of my hometown from the bleachers at my daughter's field hockey game at Fallbrook High. She had her last game yesterday and won ;)
