Friendship....

When I was little I loved friendship necklaces...
I think my first one came from 
one of those quarter machines..
a big red heart.. 
zig zagged down the middle... 
and *gasp*
I shared it with a boy....

I just saw these friendship rings.. 
from June designs.. 
and what a perfect throw back 
to the oldschool friendship necklace..
I just might have to get a set..

Happy New Year!

We started the new year with new neighbors...
So I got my act together for once.. 
and made up a little treat 
to welcome them.

I decided on a bark, 
since I had left over chocolate from 
Christmas bark that I made.. 

This was a new one.. 
but it was delicious!

Cranberry Pistachio Bark.. 
Dark chocolate on bottom, 
on top white chocolate mixed with 
dried cranberries (mine were pomegranate juice infused)
and unsalted pistachios.
Yum!

A little rustic looking.. but I like it!

Pretty cute all broken up.. 

And some themed wrapping..

A good start to my 2012 projects I think!

I have been looking for an
easy recipe for Christmas morning...
we have a million family's houses we visit around 
Christmas.. 
and I just wanted something nice, simple, easy
to bring to my mom's house.. 
I think I found a winner.. 

Biscuit and Egg Puffs 
looks super yummy and super easy.. 
my favorite way to have any meal..

It's been a while...

That's what a newborn will do to you.. 
make you a recluse...
even online.. 
'cause a sleep deprived person 
has only thoughts of sleep... 
as they clutch their coffee close.. 
but I'm on coffee high.. 
so I thought I would come out for a visit... 

Meanwhile, 
I have still been blog stalking everyone else...
and there is so much fun stuff out there
as the holidays come closer.. 

I love this subway printable from eighteen25
I will definitely be printing this one out.. 
so cute.. 

I love the colors.. 
and am so excited it's Fall!
