Nummy Cocktail... a must try for the New Year! :)
I absolutely love Sandra Lee! She cooks the way I like to. :) It's fast and easy but still gives the sense of not cooking from a box or mix. I also love the way she adds a little extra to things or decorations to make everyone feel special. I think we have all forgotten how to make ourselves and others feel special. You don't have to spend scads of money, just take the time to make a meal special.
The following cocktail isn't just for Christmas, if you like eggnog this is a must have for winter weekends.

Happy New Year... Welcome 2010!
What resolution did you make?
Whatever your resolution make a point of DOING IT for the next 29 days.. they (whoever they are) say after 29 days it becomes a habit. :) So keep that in mind......29 days.

Goodbye 2009...
I don't think people realize how much most of us look forward to the new year. Not the parties, or even welcoming the new year at midnight, but the fresh start we mentally give ourselves. Some people make resolutions to change their lives, some just subconsciously do things differently, whatever the method, the new year seems to be our hard and fast jumping off point.
There are times throughout the year we all resolve to change our diet, clean our homes, read more books, send handwritten letters, finish painting that series that will make us wildly famous and rich (hey, it could happen!) ... tomorrow or on the first of the month, or as soon as I clean my workroom... you get the idea. We try to make changes in our lives, however many of us are ill equipped to take the plunge and just get it done.
The way I see it, the most important resolution that we can make is to make an effort to just get it done. Don't make plans to do things, DO THEM!

Snow ~ Snow ~ Snow
Well the snow finally made it. Our yard is white and fluffy. Yeah!
Christmas was a nice quiet event. Hubs had to leave for work that night but he was back the next day. (Did I mention how much I like his new job? Wayyy more home time!)
I've been working on several things; a few new designs, some photo's, a couple of digi-paintings and some scrapbook pages. I know, I know, a lot of irons in the fire, but I'm getting myself organized and scheduled for the New Year so I can get everything completed. ;-)
I have tons of things to write about, some things that annoy me, some that I love, either way I will be "giving my opinion" on events and life beginning with the New Year. :-) I bet you can't wait, well I can't!
Stay warm, people~
Oh and here's a pic of my yard yesterday....
