    T Tuesday: Wednesday edition

    December 28, 2016 - By 

    I’ve fallen a bit behind with T stands for Tuesday in both posting and visiting. I blame it on the holidays and birthdays this time of year. Time seems to slip through my fingers like sand through an hourglass.

    I did finish up an art journal page on Christmas morning while we were trying to determine if we’d have to delay our family get together due to the sheet of ice covering everything. Instead of worrying, I created. grateful heart

    The words reflect what I was feeling.

    grateful heart

    I even included a coffee cup as each morning I start my day with that as well.

    Today will be spent on laundry, sewing, maybe a bit of shopping and quality time with my girl.

    T Tuesday: almost Christmas edition

    festive mug

    I got out a festive and oversized mug to help me through our subzero temps. Sunday morning it was -25°F here. Luckily there wasn’t the wind that had been in the forecast otherwise it would have been awful!! I delivered a plate of treats to the neighbor in the afternoon and though…”huh, it’s not that bad out here.” It was -7°F at the time. We are a crazy bunch here.

    A few days before we had a small gathering with my in-laws to celebrate the December birthdays. My psuedo SIL just came back from Japan and brought the kids each a variety pack of Kit-Kats.kit-kats

    There are some really strange flavors in there including….sake kit-kat

    sake. That is really strange. We’ve tried several of them and they’ve all been good, even the green tea.

    Have a Merry Christmas everyone!

    T Tuesday: treat shop edition

    December 12, 2016 - By 

    I’m not really starting up a treat shop…it just feels like it. Every year I give plates of cookies and sweet treats to the neighbors but the list seems to be growing and therefore the amount of goodies is getting crazy! But still fun. I get to have a little of this and that without having to keep all of it around.

    treats

    I’ve also made a double batch of spritz, pretzel hugs and Rolo pretzel turtles….unfortunately all the turtles have been eaten or maybe that’s fortunate since I couldn’t seem to leave them alone.

    winter-tea

    It’s super, duper cold here and will be all week so there is lots and lots of hot tea being consumed.

    I just had to share this photo of Marvin….when I tell people he’s a big cat they really don’t have the concept of just how big.

    Grocery shopping and ortho appt are on the list for Tuesday…oh and trying to stay warm!!
