My Rendition of Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY December 30, 2008...

Outside my window the sun is shining brightly against the blue sky...


I am thinking of why did I write the wrong address on my sister's Christmas card as it was returned to us this morning...


I am thankful for the roof over my head, the food we have to eat, and the family that means so much...


From the kitchen there is an almost empty pot of coffee that may need replenishing...


I am wearing a purple fuzzy fleece pajamas that kept me warm and cozy last night...


I am creating a wonderful Christmas Box for my friend, Kate...


I am going to make for dinner my husband's favorite Dutch recipe, sauerkraut with mashed potatoes...


I am reading Wicked...


I am hoping that we get word very soon that "Walter" is retiring so that my husband can start working...


I am hearing the tv sounds in the background as my husband channel surfs...



Around the house the Christmas decorations have but a few more days before they go back into hiding until next year...


One of my favorite things is lighting candles at night...candles change everything...


A few plans for the rest of the week is to lie low and stay out of trouble...


Here is picture thought I am sharing...
This is my first entry in the Simple Woman's Daybook.

Deb,
I love this! I like picturing you in your home (finally, right?) and writing this. I think it's going to be a regular Monday thing for me! I see the site is on vacation, but I'm posting anyway because I'm just getting a little bit tired of the SkyWatch Friday. It's just gotten so big and I can't visit everyone.
Didn't mean to write a novel here!

A Peak at 2010 for Fellow Taureans

Year 2010 Overview Taurus always gets tagged with things like "pleasure-seeking" and "materialistic." That's probably unfair, in most cases. You're just as good at dishing out the pleasure as you are at seeking it, and who doesn't like a few nice things around? Sadly, there's been just too much struggle in your life the last couple of years when it comes to those two very important parts of your life. Thankfully, 2010 marks the end of that long uphill struggle . Your pleasurable pursuits have been a little more restricted than you'd like over the course of the last two years or so. That's over with now, so ... game on! The big events this year will not so much be a matter of major happenings as they will be things that have been in the works and are slowly revealing themselves . In the last two years, you've put a lot of work into what makes you happy, while Saturn transited your solar Fifth House. Now that those pressures are finally bei

Christmas in July Give A Way

What better way to celebrate the middle of summer with a give a way for one lucky blogging friend? Just because I want to, I will be giving away a Christmas box with an accordion album. This happens to be my design and I have already given one away last December. Sorry, Kate , you will have to sit this one out! This paper mache box holds an accordion album inside. More than likely, I will make a minor modification to the box before shipping it to its new home. I really love these vintage papers from Melissa Frances Scrapbook . Her collection of designs and patterns reminds me of a little sea side cottage. I can smell the ocean spray right now. These papers bring me back to a time when I think I would have loved to live…The Victorian Age. But let’s not fool anyone, I want all of the modern day luxuries. This paper on the left takes me back to a time when I played with cut outs. I was never a doll kid, but give me cut outs and I was happy for days. S o if you think you would

Tyler Florence Made Me Breakfast!

Yes, it is true!  Tyler Florence from Food Network made me blueberry pancakes, maple sugar pepper bacon and caramelized bananas.  How did this happen, you say?  In short, my children gave me tickets to The Metropolitan Cooking Show in Atlanta as a birthday present.  Being a diehard Tyler Florence fanatic, I opted for the special show to gaze upon my favorite celebrity chef.  Not being a shy gal, I ran up to the mike to ask my very probing question.  “What is the secret of making risotto?” Here I am on the big screen asking my question to Tyler Florence. My question monopolized a good portion of the Q & A time.  Sorry, Tyler.  But I just had to know! As Tyler began to plate up his creation, he called to me over the loud speaker! Yes, me.  He called ME!  Running up to the stage, he handed me this wonderful plate and wished me a very happy birthday.  Sorry for the blurry photo, but we were shooting without the flash.  My daughter learned that a steady hand is most importa
