Christmas Eve at the Halterman's

 Hope everyone is having a great Christmas eve! We had our celebration with the Haltermans today. Had a great time! I made a cupcake tree for the twin nieces. Brother Kent will be here tomorrow. Merry Christmas everyone!

 

 

There's an awful lot of tweetin' going on out there today!

 

BRRRRR

 Good morning FB world! It's -8° here this morning -33° wind chill. Wind at 20-25 mph, with gusts up to 40. Sounds like a potato soup kind of day..that is all...

 

Halloween Farmhouse beads

 Some farmhouse beads that I didn't have a chance to finish during the Fall season...

wreath and kitchen witch broom

A customer requested a kitchen witch broom or besom. I dried orange slices and used other herbs and spices I already had on hand. The broom is a cinnamon scented one from Dollar General. I hope she likes it! So, I had a lot of orange slices left and made this wreath. I really like it. I've had the garland and cinnamon sticks for years! Glad to finally find a use for them. So that's my day so far.

 

The Prophecy...a Trans Siberian Orchestra

Out for the evening with my good friend of many years, Teresa Dalton...Love this wonderful orchestra...a Trans-Siberian Orchestra cover band, I hate to call it a cover band, as they are beyond perfection...wonderful music and a great time with a wonderful friend..

Chocolate Guinness Cake. Yes, it has beer in it, not Guinness though. Bill only drinks Blue Moon, I'll let you know how it turned out. At least it looks inviting.

 

Gingerbread man extravganza

Where have I been, you ask? Making bunches of cinnamon salt dough gingerbread men (and teapots) why? No reason.... I did take them to Country Creek Treasures today though, if anyone is interested. Busy hands keeps me out of trouble..

Thanksgiving Day at Darren and Mindy's

Had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my son, Darren and daughter-in-law, Mindy in Collinsville today. We had deep fried turkey legs and smoked turkey too. So much food and delicious desserts too. So blessed to spend time with family. Drove home in a thick fog, but are home safe and sound. I hope you all had a great day with family.
