Holiday Puzzle Day #4
Yes, I have found another wonderful holiday puzzle for all you loyal readers out there. I think there are two or three of you. I managed, with a bit of difficulty, to finish it in 6:39. How did you do?
Holiday Food Memory
I grew up with my paternal grandmother. One very strong Christmas food memory was Kate’s Two Flavored Fudge – recipe at the bottom of post. I never tried making this until much later in life – never under the tutelage of the master. We always went to my maternal grandmother’s for Christmas Eve. One year,… Continue reading Holiday Food Memory
Twas the Weekend before Christmas
Yes, today is going to be a blogfest. I evidently have kept too much inside as I have all these thoughts waiting to burst from my mind. This weekend is a huge weekend for holiday musical events in my area. If you live near Binghamton, New York, please attend at least one of these events.… Continue reading Twas the Weekend before Christmas
Puzzle a Day
While I put together my thoughts on the NYS governor’s 2009 proposed budget, I have decided to post a Christmas/Holiday puzzle each day until Christmas.

Ornamentally Speaking – Take Four

The lace does not show up good in the scan but that is okay because… Continue reading Ornamentally Speaking – Take Four
Ornamentally still – set two
I have yet to post the pic of the ornaments I sent off in the swap but am still working through getting more done to send/give to the kids. These were precut wooden shapes. They did not have lines to decide what goes where. They are done in Sharpie permanent marker.
Ornamentally speaking, my dear Watson
As part of, though sort o separate, the charm swap also has an ornament portion. I also have two adult children who will be celebrating their first Christmas in their own houses/apartments. So…I have been making ornaments. This is a circle ornament that is decoupaged with a bright green tissue paper. I really like the… Continue reading Ornamentally speaking, my dear Watson
