GETTING READY FOR CHRISTMAS

Recipes

I am so excited today. My husband Marshall and I are staying tonight until Wednesday night at a romantic hotel. I will be posting recipes on December Days, the wonderful recipes you sent me by email. Even my friends from work that lurk came out and sent their secret recipes. Thank you Byisteal, Darraleigh, Mary, Farren and Veronica, who actually gave me her recipe for delicious oatmeal bars last year. She tried my first foray into baking with those dreaded oatmeal bars. She is polite about it....almost too sweetly quiet. Okay...I forgot the sugar....I forgot to put a lot of cinnamon and they were just plain bland. Poor Veronica! Even her son Gus tried them and he was a gentleman about it. Tasting them like a connoisseur, he told Veronica that yes, they were missing some key ingredients. "Not bad, but it needs sugar and cinnamon". Poor Gus. It's a year later and I hope my oatmeal bars are up to par with hers. She is a mighty fine baker!

Enjoy the recipes and please, feel free to send me anything you'd like me to post. Stuffing recipes, desserts and somebody please send me a good recipe for yeast rolls!

Happy cooking and baking,

Deanna

CHRISTMAS CARD SEND OUT

Ladies, if you would like to participate in my Christmas Card Send Out list, please let me know.

I would have liked to have given all of you a big diamond ring for Christmas, but since I don't know your ring sizes.....I guess a lovely Christmas card will do! Deadline will be November 30th. Thank you for making my days a little sunnier with your sweet blogs.

Many but many thanks - Deanna

My Doctor Said "NO"

Hi everyone! Hope you all are doing well today. I will be away from my computer as per doctors orders for a couple of days :{ . Since my job requires me to be on a computer, he thought it best for me to stay off of it at home. So, I will do what he asks even though I will be itching to get on just to see what you all are up to! I'll have to tie my hands up.

I have a request. Can you ladies send me pictures of your Christmas trees when you are finished putting them up? I would like to feature them on my Christmas blog. I will credit your tree of course. Also, any family recipes you would like to share would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you ladies! See you on Saturday!
Deanna :)

Lights On!

What would we do without the lights? Our homes need them as do your lovely Christmas trees! The choices are limitless. Look at these star lights. I just love them.


Each year, department stores put out various bulbs and strings that can be perfectly coordinated with your tree design or theme. I've seen colored lights in amber, pink, purple and lime green.


These bulbs are so beautiful when lit. Even though they are colored, when lit, they have a clear colored effect. Fabulous for use on the outside of your house and very bright.


If you are in to vintage decorations like I am, then red bell lights are for you. You can find any kind of vintage lights on Ebay and red bells aren't the only lights you can find. I've seen Santa lights, little green plastic star lights and lights that look like candy. Dollar stores are wonderful places to check out for these kind of lights. They stock Christmas items that larger department stores don't carry.


Who can forget the beautiful bubble lights? My mother remembers them so well. I didn't even know about bubble lights until about ten years ago. Now you can find them everywhere. Wal-Mart always has bubble lights available at Christmas time. You should try them at least once. You won't be disappointed.


New to the market are present shaped lights. They come in various shapes and sizes. These strings of lights are available in a multitude of colors as well. They take up a lot of blank space so they do work well to hide gaps in your tree.


LED lights are probably the most used lights at this time. The colors are vibrant and give off a lovely solid glow. Multi-colored one's are my favorite.


They come in clear


round shaped


and smaller versions in multi-colors. Before you throw your lights on the tree run out and take a look at what's available at your local hobby store and or dollar stores. I wanted to try my bubble lights this year but I forgot that we bought a new pre-lit revolving tree last year so that's out! Still, I might place a string of them on my fireplace mantle. I can't imagine a Christmas without them.

Stock Up On Curling Ribbon

What would I do without my bolts of curling ribbon. I have all the colors and they are very inexpensive. I pay only $2.49 each at my local craft store Hobby Lobby. I also stock pile on gift bags and have them on hand for an unexpected birthday or to place a gift for the host and hostess of a dinner party we might be attending. It's fun to curl the ribbon and I always use all the colors and it makes such a beautiful explosion of color on the bag. They have a curling ribbon gadget but you can use scissors and it works just as well.
