Projects!!!

So, I have been trying to get everything organized and that includes the guest room. I decided that in order to save money I would recover these hideous pillows rather than buying new ones. Here is what I had to work with....




I chose to go with bright cheery colors and this is how they turned out....




Overall, I am very pleased with how they turned out and can't wait to have visitors!!

The holidays are coming to a close......

It has been a fun and busy holiday season. We had our traditional family get together and the babies had a ball opening gifts this year!



Don't they look thrilled!!!

We also a girl's night out at Flemming's and the infamous Tumbleweeds.....



It was a great evening, but I was a little sad that I could only have one glass of wine. :( But, I only have a few more months of no wine.

Hope everyone's holidays were fantastic and the year to come is even better!!

A great Christmas morning recipe....

Pop Up German Pancakes!

I got this recipe off another blog, Make and Takes, and it is easy and delicious!

You'll need:

1 cup milk
1 cup flour
6 eggs
1/4 cup melted butter
dash salt

Directions:

You simply combine ingredients with a whisk, grease a cupcake pan, and fill about half way with batter. Throw them into the oven at about 400 degrees and bake for 15 minutes.......



I serve them with a squirt of lemon and powdered sugar!

Enjoy

Christmas 2009

The season is in full swing!

We had some issues picking out the tree, but I was finally able to settle on this one.....




It's a little bit fatter than I wanted, but it's getting the job done.




Hope everyone has a a wonderful holiday and a happy new year!!!
