I had to share this tiny cherry-cranberry pie made yesterday by Ellen...Thanksgiving really is the best holiday of the year.
Ellen told me that today is Black Friday and she was going to start her wish list. I sat near her with my phone and my Amazon app; clicking off a few items...my kind of Black Friday shopping.
I'm making big martha's mashed potatoes today (and roasted applesauce and frosted cranberry-cherry pie). There's a video with the recipe...Martha and Snoop Dog; entertaining and informative as Snoop shares some vocabulary words.
I'm looking foward to using my newly thrifted tablecloth today. It's a pretty green linen stitched all around with a deer motif...love the unusual colors.
I'm also looking forward to a few days off to relax and make crafty plans...fo shizzle.
Anthropolgie always remembers my birthday ;-) I did take advantage of the small discount and did not hesitate to ask if I could keep the little clock on a string. A crafty girl might need that kind of stuff.
More important than my birthday was the 5-year anniversay of my blog that snuck by me. Five years. When I started this blog, I had two little boys and daughter that hadn't started school yet. I now have two giant men and a daughter on her way to junior high. I'm the same age though right?
The best thing about my blog has always been about sharing stuff I make and find. I still love it...and might keep at it 5 more years. And I'll still be the same age.
I painted this week...just for fun. I ignored my list of things to do and painted with my daughter on our day off school.
We purchased the canvasses and new paints on a whim at the craft store and started painting right after lunch. I can't even remember the last time I painted anything other than walls or furniture...and forgot how fun it can be.
Ellen asked if I thought the girl was young or old. I'm not really sure about that (and not even sure if I'm young or old). I am sure that I love the texture of the paint mixed with the scrapbook papers on her dress and the touch of glitter paint on her belt.
