Happy Monday to you all. This past week has been a busy one, baking 3 pecan pies, countless sugar cookies, and wrapping all sorts of presents.

Its officially December. For me, December means a great deal of things. There’s the usual Christmas, and Holiday parties. There’s shopping for gifts, wrapping and decorating. December is also my birthday (precisely one week before Christmas) – so that’s thrown into the mix. December means seeing people I haven’t seen in a while, catching upRead more
Happy first Monday in December!! Its one of those amazing sort of months coming up- where joy and goodwill somehow resonate over business that threatens to overwhelm.

I’ve had this idea in my head for a while, ever since I saw this Candy Buttons post by the Amazing SugarBelle . I never particularly cared for candy buttons when I was a kid, but The concept of it has always been intriguing. Candy arranged neatly on a peice of paper. But what if itRead more
