No TWD

By -
I just didn't have it in me to make Floating Islands. Mostly because you should probably serve them right away and not something you box up and can take to work. And also that is a lot of milk to purchase when I don't drink milk and what would I do with the leftovers? So maybe I will wait for another occasion to try and make these.

I made Dorie's Pound Cake instead. It's for a co-worker's housewarming gift. And she bugs me EVERYDAY to make her a pound cake. So I think I will surprise her with it!


I will be back next week... TTFN.

Sabrina, you are so thoughtful. Maybe she will give you a pinch. Looks delicious. I totally understand the timing conundrum. Seems like some desserts go by the wayside for those reasons. I loved the floating island, duh. Guess you can tell. Thank you for visiting me.

Wow, the pound cake looks great! Yeah, the floating islands aren't really something you could just casually toss down in the breakroom.

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.

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
