Six Word Saturday

Visiting Santa wears a fellow out

(yes, he sleeps with one eye slightly open!)

Wednesday Link Love

Ever since I saw this I’ve thought about how much I love it and would like to have one!

Oh how cute!

Here’s a pretty idea!  And I have a gold sharpie AND a votive holder!

And since I am indeed the girl who thinks if 7 is good, 10 would be even better……..

Great Christmas printables!

Yep, I want to make some of this!

Ohhhhhh, I love these scarves!  I really love them!

Yes!

I may not have any other Christmas decorations out, and I may or may not have just taken my jackolantern to the trash tonight, but I do have my Advent calendar out.

At church, we spent the weeks preceding Advent looking at the things we say NO to.  It was great fun to walk into church on the first Sunday in Advent and see a giant YES unfurled from the ceiling!  Saying yes feels good for Advent.

Leave your windows and go out, people of the world,

go into the streets, go into the fields, go into the woods

and along the streams. Go together, go alone.

Say no to the Lords of War which is Money

which is Fire. Say no by saying yes

to the air, to the earth, to the trees,

yes to the grasses, to the rivers, to the birds

and the animals and every living thing, yes

to the small houses, yes to the children. Yes.

Music Monday

A nagging head cold thing has left me lagging a bit in Christmas spirit and decor, so I thought I would use this song tonight.  So, purely by accident I find this!!!!  I love it!  I want to be in their family!

But wait…….there’s more!

Six Word Saturday

Otis is gettin’ his Christmas on…..

(This week while looking at his shot records, I see that his given name is Otis and must have been changed to Odie by the last folks.  He seems to respond to both, but he really perks up at Otis, so I’m trying to readjust!)

I’d be tempted to build one of these just to have somewhere to hang the stockings!

Nice idea…..if I ever used name cards.  Probably could work the idea in somewhere else.

Cool cookies! (minus the googly eyes)

I could have some fun with these.

Nice printable.

Nice Advent post here from Britt-Arnhild.  I love her blog, but especially during Advent and Lent.

Hop on over to google or your favorite search engine and plop in these words: crack pie.  If you haven’t already heard of it, you will quickly see that you are in the minority.  It has shown up on a couple of blogs that I frequent and seems to have a bit of a celebrity following. 

One review that I read told of a man who ordered one of the $44 dollar pies and when it arrived, he dropped it.  He and his friend got forks and ate it from the floor.  It said that.  Same blog entry had a comment from a person in California who had ordered two of the $44 pies and then spent the $40+ to have it shipped to her. 

So, you know……..we had to give it a try.

This is not our pie (above).  Ours was flatter.  And I think our lack of a proper food processor may have been somewhat at fault, but ours would also not slice or come out of the pan in “pieces”    Did that stop us from eating it straight out of the pie pan? No. 

Friends, make a quick note of the next statement.  You have never heard me say it before.  Probably won’t hear me say it again.  It was too rich.   As a rule, I find people who whine and say something is too rich fairly annoying.  But this….this was indeed too rich.  To eat more than one piece anyway!

I’ll let you decide- will this lead you to a 12 step program?

Recipe can be found here or here…… or just google it.  Let me know what you think!
