Mango, pineapple and strawberry juice sounded delicious for a sore throat I had. A bit of vanilla ice cream was added for creaminess!
I made this blueberry bread again with leftover frozen berries. I had pecans this time, which was an improvement. There’s no picture, but it was also delicious with chocolate chips (I was craving the bread in the second picture). I set aside some blueberry-free batter for a small loaf pan, and stirred in some mini chocolate chips.

The cold sound, always interrupting…leaving her behind. His long laugh brushed the night.
I tried to make these turtles for Christmas but I over melted the caramels and chocolate! I couldn’t really taste the caramel; they probably would have been better as chocolate-covered pecans drizzled with caramel.

I cannot stop starting at this painting by Kris Knight, which I don’t think has really happened before.
I can’t even…I…yeah.
It’s beautiful.
New art journal page using my pretty stamp!
Sloppily painted.
My oldest sister gave me this fox scarf for Christmas from green3apparel! It’s made from recycled cotton, which is the cotton that would have otherwise been discarded during spinning and weaving.
I’m not a jewelry person, but I couldn’t resist this leather necklace and deer pin from FlotsamArt. I bought them as a late birthday present to myself!
Here’s a somewhat blurry picture taken on top of my washing machine of all the Christmas cookies together! My mom made the almond cookies and the date-nut bars on the bottom of the left plate, and the chocolate and vanilla swirl ones.
More Christmas cookies! We stopped making these sugar cookies years ago, but I had a craving to make them this year. The recipe already called for nutmeg, but we added extra and also some cinnamon. The dinosaurs I gave to my niece, who is in love with dinosaurs at the moment.
My sister and I had fun eating the chocolate chips with a bit of the green mint flavored frosting!

Cute…and so colorful and happy!
I decided to make some separate ginger cookies and snickerdoodles after making many of the combined gingerdoodles. Three different-looking cookies from one recipe!
Recipe from Bakergirl (again, I used butter instead of shortening.)
