DECEMBER FOOD HOLIDAYS!

National Pie Day December 1 : Pies are so easy to make, especially if you start out with store bought pie crusts. Just make a quick filling, bake, and enjoy. National Fritters Day December 2 : Try a nice apple fritter for breakfast with a big cup of coffee. National Apple Pie Day December 3 : Apple pies are so easy to make, but since you just made a homemade pie, why not pick up a Mrs. Smith's pie? Just bake and add a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. National Cookie Day December 4 :  This is definitely the time to bake cookies. Get out your favorite recipe and make a large batch for friends and family. National Sacher Torte Day December 5 : Sacher Torte is a chocolate cake that was invented in the 1800s. You can find many recipes online or you can just bake a regular chocolate cake instead. Microwave Oven Day December 6 : For this food holiday, do something fun and find a recipe for candy that can be made in the microwave. National Cotton Candy Day

DIY WATERLESS SNOW GLOBES!

This comes from  www.plumadorable.com  . Enjoy making a few of these as adorable gifts for friends, family and other people close to your hear. Waterless Snow Globes I have so many fun things to show you. I am really excited to share with you what my good friend Courtney did with my mantel. She transformed it into a Christmas wonderland. But, it will have to wait a couple of days because I am busy getting ready for this craft fair that Jess and I are doing on Saturday. For now I will show you how cute and easy these waterless snow globes are. It really does make me smile. ~Jenny
