Happy Thanksgiving One and All

Happy Thanksgiving

Well, I guess I can say that my hopes to blog on a daily basis went right out the window, for the month of November, but on the flip, I am very thankful as my Internet ornament business is lifting off the ground and has kept me very occupied. With Halloween and all the wonderful stories and pictures that helped me create all kinds of fun things, it was rather easy to write on a daily basis, and I will be the first to admit. I miss it when I don't. I have some fun ideas planned for Decembers blog, as well as the countdown day looms very close - "Organizing Stacey Bolin by 2013." You'll never believe what happens in all of that quest and it is a story you won't soon forget. So hang in there, and I am sorry that my words were silent, I am just learning how to multi-task productively. Below are some pictures of today's accomplishments and I am so very thankful that I have my husband and my boys to share my cooking talents with.

I hope that all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and wishing you luck in your quest to find that special holiday gift if you are considering going out on Black Friday. May I suggest a place you can go look without leaving the comforts of home, - www.etsy.com and type in Ukandu in the space to find shops. Until next time - Blog ya later.

My own bread/roll recipe. Still rising.

This was a butterball Fresh Young Turkey.
So moist you could squeeze the juice out of it when it was done.

One of four pans of rolls, however not all were just dinner rolls.



In our house, if you make dough, you make cinnamon rolls too.

Guardian - "Angel Rose"

This is a painted version of Guardian "Angel Rose" as told in my book "Through the Barracks Window" in the chapter titled - "Birth of a Rose".

"Baby - Let's Talk Turkey! Gobble Gobble"

Hey there ya'll in cleaning land.  So I bet you are wondering - How am I doing in the quest to kick the clutter? I will admit, I let the excitement of Halloween distract me with avengence. Ha-ha. But seriously, I have downsized even  more and for many reasons. I found that if you change your thinking, you can also change the way you do things. I've attached a link to my recent blog post to share with you a bit about my unique ways, my plans and another goal that I wanted to post here instead...I am planning what I call the "big Reveal", a unique series of before and after pictures that you will be truly amazed with. Each week until New Years, I am going to highlight a room, and how the room was and why, and then the after picture of how looks now and how I accomplished it. It really is remarkable. So for now, let me saunter back into the kitchen and put the dishes away and get the counters cleaned up nice before the hubby rolls in after a long day at work.  I do hope you also enjoy my November blog listed below. If you have things you want to share - Please send your stories, photos, and recipes this way.  Until tomorrow - I'll blog ya later.
