A night to myself...

By -
My day is going sooooo slooowwwlllyyy! I am really looking forward to a night at home. Last night I made yummy Sesame Chicken with Asian Slaw and I brought it over to my couch-ridden cousin Kelly. So if you want the recipe, she posted it on her blog: http://vlachmytastebudsoff.blogspot.com/
Tomorrow night through Monday (Labor Day) I have plans, so I need to have at least one night to relax, clean & bake some bread, but not necessarily in that order... I still want to attempt to make the Zucchini bread with Moroccan Spices... but we'll see. Boring days at work make me want to do be lazy at home. But a job change may be in the future... hopefully many good things will be just around the corner.
I was driving today and I saw a tree whose leaves were already changing. It just seemed like last week I noticed that the trees just started to bud. Now it's almost fall and the leaves will soon change, then fall off the trees. This year has just flown by, and with that has come many many changes in my life. I'm glad for the changes, but not every change has been happy one.
I'm thinking about planning a trip somewhere soon. I haven't been anywhere in a very long time... and I need a change of scenery.
Sorry this post is so random... I have nothing interesting to say at the moment.

So now with Christmas almost upon us, I wanted to take the last few days to make some Christmas Crafts. This weekend I spied this AWESOME clothespin wreath on Pinterest which lead me to  Hambly Screen Prints Blog . Not only is it a fantastic blog with fun projects, it's also an online store full of the coolest scrapbook\crafting supplies. If you haven't been to Hambly Screen Prints...  GO NOW ! The clothespin wreath was so fun and easy to make!  Supplies you need: Wooden clothespins scrapbook papers Washi tape (or decorative tape) You can buy washi tape at Hambly, Amazon.com, etsy, Michaels or most craft stores) Glue Thick cardboard for circle (or Michaels sells pre-made circle forms) Felt to cover cardboard (although I skipped that step) Decorate your clothespin however you like. Mine were a combination of scrapbook paper, decorative tape from Martha Stewart and glitter.  The longest part was cutting all the strips and gluing them on, but once they are done it&

TWD - Cranberry Upside-Downer

I am so excited to be the one to have picked this recipe for the week! I started baking with Tuesdays with Dorie two years ago around this time. At that time, it looked like it might be around 4 years before i picked a recipe. So to find out that it was my turn, I was ecstatic! I've had so much fun baking with all the great people who participate with TWD and have enjoyed making blogging buddies all over the country... and world! This weeks recipe was actually partially picked by my Hubby. There are not that many recipes left! Can you believe that soon we will have made EVERYTHING in the book? But the Cranberry Upside-Downer was an easy pick, especially for this time of year. I was able to find frozen cranberries, although I almost couldn't find them and almost went with cherries. This one was very easy to make, the only thing i worried about was flipping the cake. But alas everything turned out beautifully!! I love the color, the scent and look of this cake once flipped.
